Any suggestion of what the better name should be? John, do you have an idea? What about "Last Values" and "Next Values"? If it's not too long... I think adding more text to the buttons themselves would probably make them way too long. I think the tool tips will go a long way towards helping understand their purpose. We could also add some display text above the buttons, something like "Command Options History". Hm, that sounds good to me. The tooltips are in. I would not want to add much additional text around, because that will make the dialogs bigger. But, what about: Options History: [Last] [Next] [Get Default] [Set As Default] /cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/util/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.26; previous revision: 1.25 /cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/util/VariableInputDialog.java,v <-- VariableInputDialog.java new revision: 1.89; previous revision: 1.88 I think it's not about options but values. And it's even 1 char shorter ... :-) The rest is fine. I think we did enough for now. Fixed. I agree. Verified in FCS build #200505031930 of NetBeans 4.1. |
