UI to specify root methods is not very intuitive. There is a three level dialog chain and it is not clear what to do to add method to the list. Additionally you don't know which methods were already added to the list. Edit button is probably redundant. I think it does the same as new button. My idea is to have three lists: recent classes, methods, root methods. Recent Classes: list of classes previously used Methods: when you select a class, only methods not included in root methods are supplied Root Methods: list of all root methods
Agreed, the UI needs to be simplified and streamlined
Postponed to M4
Postponing to M5, will redo as part of tighter 4.0 integration, probably similarly to how Open Class works in 4.0
Not much more to do here. I cannot think of any better way to simplify the following sequence: Select Task Panel -> click Part of App, Select... Selected Root Methods -> click Add... Specify Methods -> click Select... Select Class from list of opened project
Agreed. I think with projects class selection became more convenient, plus our current GUI, improved more or less according to the initial recommendations, is now intuitive enough for most users.
Better a UI enginneer should check correctness of the UI. For me it is still not perfect but I accept it. Anyway 'Edit...' button is definitely useless.
