jiri 2011-05-04 20:03 administrator ~0024836	Rusty, before assigning to Ludek, please review whether we should adapt a standardized right alignment and use it in all dialogs. We should formalize the standard then and store it e.g. in our wiki.

rusty 2011-05-06 14:57 administrator ~0024897 Last edited: 2011-05-06 14:58	In Windows, there are generally two conventions (see attached examples): 1) for dialogs in which work/configuration is actually done, the convention is to right-justify OK-Cancel (though preferred wording is <Action>-Cancel, but that's for another time). 2) for dialogs in which the user is being prompted to decide among 2 alteratives, the convention is to center-justify the possible alternatives. All of the issues that Lowlander describes fall into the first category, so they should be right-justified. Note: for 'Enter Url' dialog, the [Browse...] button should be moved to the right of the text box.

lowlander 2011-05-11 14:30 developer ~0025084	Verified fixes in 1371. Options for Equalizer seems to have less than standard spacing between OK and Cancel.

lowlander 2011-05-13 20:13 developer ~0025189	There also is vertical alignment issues (see screenshot vertical alignment).

lowlander 2011-05-13 22:40 developer ~0025209	The AAC, M4A, M4B, MP4 (not MP4 video) conversion windows windows are cutoff: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=55582

lowlander 2011-05-18 16:13 developer ~0025420	Where can one obtain the new MP4/AAC to test this fix?

~~stephen_platt~~ 2011-05-19 18:09 developer ~0025494	It's been uploaded to FTP.
