--- Comment #10 from Jim Omura
(at least) three options how to solve this
1) Label the button as 'Finish' and re-label it to 'Next' as soon as any change to be saved is made. Drawback: checking for "have any changes been made?" can be too expensive operation to be done in (almost) every single event handler
2) Keep 'Next' label and show a pop-up saying something like "There are no unsaved changes. Exit the partitioner? [yes] [no]" Drawback: it worked that way in past, we removed the pop-up recently because users were disturbed and annoyed with it
3) Keep 'Next' label and show full-screen summary with "Changes to partitioning: no unsaved changes exist" (or alike) text. Drawback: one extra dialog (useless in this case), full-screen summary looks empty
For options 2 and 3, you could also add either a -v (verbose) or -q (quiet) mode switch. In "quiet" mode the last window would not be used. If you default to "quiet" then you will not get the window in installer. When you install the program's icon, you would add a "-v" switch which a user could remove. As for the first option, it may seem "expensive", but if you think about it, the only time this is being done is when a human being is mucking around setting up partitions. A few thousand extra cycles is nothing in that context. . . -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
