Inconsistent use of Project/File in File menu?

Post by GladToBeGrey » 31 May 2010 21:20

OK, I know these are trivial, but anyway ...

When AS is initially run up, 'Current File is default' is greyed out.  If I then open a Project, the text becomes bold, but remains as 'Current FILE is default'.  But at this stage AS already knows it has a Project ....

If I then tick 'Current file is default' and then return to the file menu again, the text has changed to 'Current PROJECT is default'.

Toggling the setting once more (i.e. off) changes the text to 'MAKE current Project default'.

If I open a Gedcom FILE, the text is 'Make current PROJECT default ..... [oops]

Could AS perhaps start off with the greyed text 'No default set', changing this to 'Make current Project default' or 'Make current File default' as appropriate depending on which has been opened, and then 'Current Project is default' or 'Current File is default' as appropriate depending on which has been made default.

Similarly, if I open a Project, the close text still says 'Close GEDCOM file' rather than 'Close PROJECT'.  Again, this could be context-sensitive.

And finally, when I close the Project, or File, the file/project name remains in the title bar of the AS window.  Could it be cleared when the file/project is closed?

The menu functions work perfectly well, but the texts of the menu items seem to be a bit out of kilter.

Still a great add-on to FH. [cool]

Thanks for reporting this - I've fixed this in the next version.

Cheers
