| Summary | 0002489: 'Browse for Folder' dialog box has a couple of usability problems | ||||
| Description | There are a couple of usability bugs with the 'browse for folder' dialog box that is used in various locations in MM (e.g. for Auto-Organize): 1) When the user clicks the 'New Folder' button, focus remains on the parent folder instead of switching to the newly created 'New Folder' in a state in which 'New Folder' is editable. 2) After the user creates the new folder, focus should be on the 'Ok' button so that pressing <Enter> closes the dialog. 3) The 'Folder: _________________' textbox is very confusing since it seems to be asking the user to enter text, but really it's just a kind of status indicator that shows which folder is currently selected. It would be better to just get rid of this as in: http://www.functionx.com/vcsharp/controls/folderbrowser.htm | ||||

Currently we use standard Windows dialog for this, i.e. we can't much modify behaviour of the dialog. However, I think we could use the dialog that's in ThemeEngine 6.0, possibly with some modifications if needed. An advantage of this solution is that the dialog would be also skinned... Assigning Petr for a review/implementation. |
