Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Save dialog, things left to do...
Hi List!
After thinking about the save dialog for a while now, I think it's not a
good idea to use
a checkbox for the "apply display filter" thing.
I have a different suggestion, which could solve the confusion:
--- Packet Range --------------------------------------------
<Captured> <Displayed>
(*) All packet(s) 2170 210
( ) From first to last marked packet 10 8
( ) Marked packet(s) 8 2
( ) Selected packet #1 only 1 1
( ) Specify a packet range __________ 0 0
-------------------------------------------------------------
The <Captured> and <Displayed> are buttons, which are sensitive,
if the current radio "selection" isn't 0 for that specific row and column.
This will add some more UI code, but I think it's much better understandable
for the user, what will happen.
I've also tried to change the layout of the dialog a bit, but as this
dialog layout comes
directly from GTK, it cannot be changed in an easy way.
To be honest, I don't really like that layout at all, as the seperation
of folders and files
isn't very intuitive. Current win32 dialogs are putting files and
folders into one "window",
which makes it much faster and intuitive to use.
Also the "Selection:" and filename lines shouldn't be at the bottom of
the dialog
(but that's a fixed position, given by GTK).
On the other hand, writing our own file handler dialog will be lot's of
work to do,
so it's still on my wishlist...
