The new file dialog does not present any helpful information for selecting the correct file type. Add explanatory features, icons and more to supply the user with helpful information.

Analysis:

A good start might be using a wxListView in combination with large icons and adding a event handler, if the user selects an element in the view to display some information about the selected file type.

Implementation:

  • Implementation: Implemented as proposed by the analysis. Needed to create new file icons, which can be found in the /res folder.
  • Revision: [r1319]
  • Implementation test: Creation of new files with the file dialog is a breeze.

Documentation:

  • [x] ChangesLog updated
  • [x] Code changes commented
  • Documentation articles:
    • [ ] corresponding documentation articles updated
    • [ ] new documentation articles created
    • [x] not needed
  • Language files:
    • [x] corresponding language files updated
    • [ ] not needed

Tests:

Tested manually. Further improvements were done with [r1330].
