Thread: two minor things
Hi, I just noticed when browsing b4 (on OS X) that 1) if I try to create a new operator, I cannot write its name, I just get beeps. Another thing that at some point of time would be good (for OS X, it is) is that 2) the dialog buttons seem to be in random order, when the default (or OK, though not necessarily so) should be the bottom right one. 1) would be easy to fix for release, about 2) I am not that sure, because there is so much stuff there. ! !

You realise there are a very limited set of characters that can be used in operators, and pgAdmin will restrict you to those only? The allowed characters are: + - * / < > = ~ ! @ # % ^ & | ` ? > Another thing > that at some point of time would be good (for OS X, it is) is that 2) > the dialog buttons seem to be in random order, when the default (or OK, > though not necessarily so) should be the bottom right one. The backup and restore dialogs are wrong, but all the rest look OK as far as I can see. Any others I've missed that need fixing? Regards, Dave

(OK button should be rightmost) Soryy for the delay getting back to this. The affected dialogues are all (apart from not the ones I tested!) the resizeable ones. This is significant because they use sizers to position the buttons, so I think what happens when I try to swap them like we do in the other dialogs is that the sizers just redraw everything and put them right back where they were. I'm trying to figure out a fix for this which doesn't involve platform-specific XRC files... /D

(OK button should be rightmost) Anyone have any ideas how we can fix this? Swapping the buttons simply doesn't work afaict because the sizers just return them to their original positions. I'm trying to avoid having platform specific XRC files or any hacks involving swapping the events... I'm pretty stumped right now :-( /D
