Subject: bug#14398: 24.3.50; Customize: `Revert...' and `Apply'
Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 07:21:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CED0DC44E552464DBF0B4433AFCD2A9F@us.oracle.com> (raw)
1. The `Revert...' menu items should be controled by either :enable or
:visible. It makes no sense to show a user an active menu item `Undo
Edits in Customization Buffer' if there have been no edits. After a
user clicks this, undoing any edits, this menu item should disappear or
be dimmed. Similarly for other menu items.
2. `Apply' is not helpful as is. The name does not sufficiently
indicate what it does (apply what? to what?). The help echo is also not
helpful enough: `Apply settings (for current session only)'. What
settings? And again, if no settings have been changed (edited) then
this button should not even be available. Its presence when it is a
no-op just confuses.
