Suggestion to modify the MP-configurator

NielsSF · 2008-04-22, 08:30

hallo,

One of the confusing things within the confiruation tool, is the working of the plugins enable and config popup-menu.
Also some off the plugins (like the buildins) have there one config-page and with others you need to click the configuration menu.

With this message i like to propos some small changes to it.

First, i like to replace te the menu-items with normal buttons, like it is done in the plugin-install tabpage.
This can by done very easy, i think.

Second, the what harder part, is to allow al plug-ins to get his own config-page (when needed) so there is only on way to config plugin's, and do we not need to open new form's anymore for 3th-party plugins.

i hope this is somewhat understandeble

Greetings and thanks for the very nice work,

Niels

Well, MP1 is in a feature freeze. Although this in not a feature (but an improvement suggestion), it is not a bug either, which is about the only thing that is focused on ATM.

Conlusion: Don't hold your breath waiting for this to happen

Np. i deed it myself.

here is the patch.
It is now posible to use the new buttons or use the old popup menu.
the file is a patch created from svn.

I hope you devs can include it in the next update.

I like that.
I looks better.
Will see what the other devs think about as it improves usability makes the interface more logical.
BTW Just tried it and it works without problems.
