Description Tomas Danek 2005-12-22 09:44:30 UTC 
1) create new module suite.
2) set it as application, confirm exclude.
3) now if you want to include just *one* module from IDE6 cluster, you have to
check whole IDE6 cluster, and then deselect *all modules except one*, you'd like
to include (~120!!!), beacause checkboxes of modules are disabled! 
I know this was discussed in some concerning issue before, but this is really
hell on earth!
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2005-12-22 18:36:52 UTC 
No current ideas on how to improve it.
Comment 2 Martin Krauskopf 2005-12-23 06:22:45 UTC 
What about multiselection and popup menu?
Comment 3 Tomas Danek 2005-12-23 09:34:51 UTC 
simplest solution - unchecking cluster unchecks all modules (and leaves them
enabled!) is not applicable? Disabling is a must? Why?
Comment 4 Martin Krauskopf 2005-12-23 09:58:58 UTC 
+ backround remembering of lastly checked cluster modules which would be lost
when the user checks some module inside that cluster.

Or better utilize three-state cluster checkbox (is actually there now but user
might choose effectively only from two states).

Comment 7 rmichalsky 2008-07-09 10:09:16 UTC 
Proposed behavior:
* module checkboxes are be always enabled 
* cluster checkboxes are 3-state
* checking/unchecking individual module checkbox switches its cluster into 3rd state
* checking/unchecking cluster checkbox checks/unchecks all its module checboxes
* user-switching cluster checkbox into 3rd state restores last known state of module checkboxes
Comment 8 Jesse Glick 2008-07-10 22:25:15 UTC 
Sounds fine. I'm not sure whether it is implementable - I know you can display a 3-state checkbox (false/true/null IIRC)
but I think clicks on it will just switch between true and false.
Comment 9 rmichalsky 2008-07-11 08:25:54 UTC 
Exactly. I guess it could be achieved by implementing custom property editor, but I it's IMHO not worth the effort.
We'll see if it is really needed. 

Implemented as proposed with the exception that user cannot switch cluster checkbox into the semi-selected state.
