suggestions re new Set Destination Wizard dbox [#15551] [#15532]

Post by Barry4679 »

I appreciate the nice Set Destination Wizard enhancement for Tools|Options|Downloads.

I have a few of minor suggestions.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fa9bdzufy62wb ... d.png?dl=0

1. You don't need the main <BROWSE> button any more. It is clear that the new <CONFIG> button will lead a browse facility, and the space would be better used by allowing more space for the location (see image)

2. The Subdirectories and Filename controls would be improved if they had a tooltip briefly describing the syntax for the masks. ... This would also make it clearer that while "main Directory" is for a path string, the other two controls are for path|file name masks.

3. If the label "subdirectories" is to be plural, then the label for Filename should be plural also.

4. A dbox like "Set Destination Wizard" should not have minimise|fullscreen screen controls. This dbox is modal to the Options panel, and if it is minimised that leaves the Options panel looking like that the UI is frozen.
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

re 1)
yes, the 'Browse' and '>>' buttons seems unnecessary (as they are available upon clicking [Configure...])
Let's try to remove them and wait whether a negative feedback is coming, as they were there in MM4 too ;-)
