| Summary | 0017167: Language installation via the Options dialog has a confusing/overly complex workflow | ||||
| Description | There are too many dialogs re. both successful and unsuccessful language installations, along with confusing situations such as the language indicator displaying a language different from the currently active localization. 1) Too many / confusing dialogs in the case of a failed/cancelled language installation: a) 1 Change Tools > Options > Language --> Espanol (Argentina) [OK] --> Invalid Addon! Cannot open file "". The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. 2 Click OK --> 'MediaMonkey will reload...'! (this doesn't make sense--why should MM restart if the language can't switch?!) What should happen is that after clicking [OK] at step 2, the error dialog should close and the Interface language should remain at the language that's actually active (rather than the newly selected/failed one). b) 1 Change Tools > Options > Language --> Cestina [OK] --> Product Installation: This will install the following product..... 2 Click [Cancel] --> 'MediaMonkey will reload...'! (this doesn't make sense--why should MM restart if the language can't switch?!) --> After reloading, language is in English, but selector shows 'Cestina' as the active language! What should happen is that after [Cancel] at step 2, the error dialog should close and the Interface language should remain at the language that's actually active (rather than the newly selected/failed one). 2) Too many confirmation dialogs following successful language installation: After installing a language: --> dialog 1: <language> installed successfully [OK] 1 Click [OK] --> dialog 2: 'MediaMonkey will reload'... [OK] [Cancel] The extra popup is annoying. In the case of a successful install, there should be only one dialog e.g. <language> installed successfully. 'MediaMonkey will reload'... [OK] [Cancel] note: If this dialog is just a standard addons dialog, then the standard addons dialog should probably be simplified in the manner described. | ||||
