Description Jesse Glick 2001-09-13 23:00:20 UTC

[dev sep 12] I customized a module's service types--in this case,
adding two new applet executors. Then I uninstalled the Applet module.
Now the customized applet executors are visible, with a ? icon, under
Execution Types in the Options dialog. They should be hidden. The
.settings correctly includes the <module/> tag. No projects module.

Reassigning to Honza.

Jesse, it is as designed. User has the possibility to delete modified 
settings of disabled modules. If you place mouse pointer over such a 
node tooltip with description appears. Settings' properties should be 
unreachable (see property sheet).

I've asked UI to supply some better icon time ago. Maybe some bage 
would be sufficient.

Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2001-09-14 13:59:44 UTC

OK, I did not see the tooltip--normally the ? icon means something in
the IDE is broken. Please ask Bruce etc. for a better icon. Just as
important: the display name of the node is the settings file name,
which is some cryptic-looking thing that is not localized and not
friendly. It should say something like "<Unused custom setting>" or
something like that. An interested user can find details in the
property sheet (Info tab). So I am changing to a UI bug.

Comment 4 Jan Pokorsky 2001-09-26 16:55:23 UTC

Jirka promised to supply the icon ASAP.

Comment 5 Jiri Mzourek 2001-09-27 13:13:43 UTC

I talked with Bruce yesterday, the icon will be soon. jirka
