I said: However, it might be confusing to combine resetting edit fields with resetting current values. Since we have a Set button, why not confine the reset buttons to resetting only the edit field (F)? That is: C => F (Reset from Current) S => F (Reset from Saved) D => F (Reset from Standard) Using the combined Reset buttons would mean we have only Set, Save, and Reset. Kim said: I don't like as it doesn't "set" in the same sense as . Miles suggested . I agree. Here is what I would propose: Set All (F => C) Save All (F => C,S) Get All Standard (D => F) Saved (S => F) Current (C => F) 1. Each button name includes "All". Likewise for menu-bar menu items. 2. The "resetting" actions only fill the edit field; they do not set the current value. 3. The "resetting" actions are combined in a button menu (pulldown list).
