Description Jiri Kovalsky 2001-03-13 15:52:11 UTC
Development build #1160 on Windows 2000/NT, Solaris 5.8, Red Hat Linux 6.2
(all JDK 1.3)

Description:
============
I propose to adjust a little bit layout and contents of "Edit variable" dialog 
in order to avoid misunderstanding and make it more clear to the user. Each 
variable could have only one these meanings: File, Directory or Variable 
selector. That's why using JCheckBoxes as it is now is not good. Please remake 
the design of this dialog to have three JRadioButtons excluding each other. The 
third possibility "Selector" would enable JTextField next to it.

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Mount already existing CVS filesystem and in its "Configuration" dialog click
   on "Advanced" button.
2. In upper section select arbitrary variable and click on "Edit..." button.
3. You will see that you are allowed to specify variable as file, directory and
   assign selector to it at the same time.

X Evaluation:
I agree, that the current state (three check boxes) is not nice. However I need 
to keep the UI of the property sheet. So I suggest to put these three 
properties into one property, which can be selected from a combo box.
Any comments ?

X Comments:
There is of course no problem. If you want to solve this using JComboBox make 
it happen !!
