BUG: Batch XMI - UI failings
« on: November 01, 2006, 10:40:21 pm »
We (currently) have 80 packages to import (and this will grow over time).  There is NO Select All/None facility on the Batch XMI dialogs.  The Save Settings button - doesn't appear to...

My left mouse finger is already sore...  :-X

[EDIT:  We have now managed to get the Save Settings to work, but we don't know how...  At least two of us observed the the Save Settings not working on two separate machines with two separate .EAP files - so there's something "Crook in Tobruk"]
[EDIT2: One of the somethings "Crook in Tobruk" is that running the import will clear the list!  This is unacceptable! See next post fmor further observations]

The EA help describe Save Settingsas the mechanism for saving a default configuration.

Setting aside the obvious bug that EA will clear the current list regardless on processing; it is reasonable that the user might decide to on this run to do something other than the default.

There is NO mechanism to Restore Settings (and thus recover the default settings).

This needs to be rectified.

If you are going to refactor this area, consider allowing the user to nominate a set of named combinations.

Thoughts? Votes?
