Feature Requests item #520719, was opened at 2002-02-20 15:17 You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=438938&aid=520719&group_id=44253 Category: User interface Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Garvin (johngarvin) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: make Compile button semantics intuitive Initial Comment: I was going to submit this as a bug, but the code actually follows the specification, so it's not "really" a bug. I just think the specification is wrong. You have to save before you can compile. We know this, but to a new user, this fact is hardly intuitive. There is no immediately obvious reason why the Compile button is initially unavailable, and it's not at all clear what has to be done to allow one to compile. Possible solution: the Compile button should really be a "Save and Compile" button, which will (a) decide if saving is necessary, (b) if so, save the file, and (c) compile. If the current document is untitled, it should pop up a "Save As..." dialog. Right now, there's no connection between the Save and Compile actions, which is quite confusing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=438938&aid=520719&group_id=44253 |
