Description Jana Maleckova 2007-02-23 14:09:52 UTC 
NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 070223)

Description:
============
Situation: User has opened action editor and he tries to create new action.
he pushes button New Action. Then he writes name of method and pushes create.
For now it's OK
But why is not name of this new action added (displayed) in combo box where all
action could be listed. Instead of it the combobox is disabled. This could be
confusing for user. He could ask himself ... have I created the action or not ?

Another issue is ... user can try to invoke New Action again without submitting
OK in action editor but in this case Dialog "Create New Action" doesn't remember
last set method name. I suggest until new action is created, method name field
should remember last set name of action....

I agree with Jana. After pushing Create button in New action dialog I have got
lost myself.
Comment 2 Joshua Marinacci 2007-04-12 23:27:34 UTC 
The way you create new actions has been completely changed to be simpler. There is no longer a 
separate 'create new action' dialog so this issue is invalid now.
