Summary | 0015521: Confusing caption upon clicking [Browse] folder button (and redundant checkboxes) | ||||
Description | Press top BROWSE button on Tools|Options|Downloads/Podcasts ... the path browser dbox that is opened has confusing instructions https://www.dropbox.com/s/j72co9yxsjbbd99/confusing%20instructions.png?dl=0 In addition the checkboxes shouldn't be there -- as there is supposed to be only a single folder selected. | ||||

Fixed in 2165 |
|
Verified 2165, however, in doing so, I noticed that the dialog is still lacking: - ability to create a folder (as in MM4) - ability to choose a mask (missing in MM4) Would it make sense to use the same 'Directory chooser' for this as is used e.g. in the Auto-organize 'configure...' button ? |
|
ok, added the same 'Directory chooser' as in the Auto-organize, i.e. with the 'configure...' button etc. Fixed in 2166 |
|
Directory browser still do not have New folder creation. |
|
1) yes, 'New folder...' button is missing, but a) is cumbersome in MM4 and does not work as one would expect, I also doubt that this was used much b) it is redundant, as user can easily put the new folder to the 'Main directory' path and the folder will be auto-created 2) The 'Select folder' dialog lists also 'Google Play Music' and media servers, these shouldn't be listed there! => 2) is fixed in 2167 |
|
2. Verified 2167 1. Sounds reasonable. According to b) may I suggest that "Select folder" be renamed to "Select main folder" to be more clear that user is not selecting destination folder, but main/root folder for destination mask as that way we imply b) auto creation based on destination mask? |
|
Fixed in 2168 |
|
Verified 2168 |
|
Now 'Select main folder' appears in other contexts where it should just indicate 'Select folder'. I'd suggest reverting this (i don't think it was confusing to begin with). |
|
What about "Folder Selection"? It is more generic? |
|
Reverted to 'Select folder' in 2170 |
|
Verified 2170 Close if 0015521:0053210 is not better. |
|
I reviewed both usecases and the current wording ('Select folder') is good (and the term 'Folder selection' doesn't offer any adwantages). |
|
Agree, closing for now. |
