The selected suite on pane 2 of creating an NB module is always whatever suite was created first (or maybe its alpha sort). If I just added one module to a suite, the probability is high that I want to add another one to it, so it should probably default to whatever suite I added a module to which is still open. It should probably also remember if standalone module was selected last and select that.
It should always be offering a suite which is open, so in the normal workflow - create a suite - create a module to add to it - create another module to add to it you do not need to change anything.
Yes. And if you have two suites open, and want to add a module to the second suite, you have to change the combo box in the wizard every time - it gets the first suite stuck in its craw, and it's annoying. I don't know how it chooses which to default to, but MRU is certainly more reasonable and less likely to be wrong. For better or worse, multiple suites feels like the natural workflow for developing any two sets of related modules - people will use it this way. If that's not intended to be supported, then don't allow multiple suites to be open simultaneously.
Having >1 suite open is certainly possible, but is not intended to be common by any means. Optimizing for the case that one suite is open.
Oh good heavens! Here.
Created attachment 23432 [details] A trivial patch to fix it (plus remembering if suite or standalone was last selected)
Martin's code, I think, so reassigning for eval.
Thanks Tim. Applied. Checking in ui/wizard/BasicInfoVisualPanel.java; 1.26 --> 1.27
