Description Jesse Glick 2005-12-02 20:43:33 UTC
I would expect the "Add" button to ask me for a name for the new rule file, and
then add it to the list of commands (in the selected category), and perhaps
immediately open it in the editor. Instead it opens a filechooser (do you need
to have an existing rule file somewhere?), which is not consistent with the
behavior of any similar manager dialog I can think of. Should perhaps also be
called "New". Or if there is a reason to add rules that are saved on disk
somewhere, at least "Add" should open a simple dialog with radio buttons:

(*) Create new rule file
    Name:     [____________________________]
( ) Add existing rule file
    Location: [________________] [Browse...]

Please review the <a
href="http://jackpot.netbeans.org/docs/jackpot-uispec.html">Jackpot UI Spec</a>,
which proposes a replacement for the Command Manager which should address your
concerns.

The new Refactoring Manager works as you describe; click the New Query... button
to try (after it is pushed to update center, of course).
