[9.0ß6] Auto Switch rule names displayed with vertical line

[Flint]

1. Open Configuration -> Auto Switch Mode.
2. Create a new rule with at least two sub-rules.
3. Combine the sub-rules with OR => TC will display the rule title as

Code: Select all

+||+

4. Combine the sub-rules with AND => TC will display the rule title as

Code: Select all

+|&+

I'm not sure what the original intention was, but the "|&" looks definitely wrong. It should be either || and && for OR and AND, respectively (like in C-like programming languages), or single-character | and & (like in TC interface). The latter looks more consistent, I think.

I don't see why this should be a bug. The first pipe is a separator, the second is the logical operator. The behavior seems to be just fine. So it's not a bug.

I totally agree that it doesn't look right though. Why all kind of things have to be displayed in the same way as they are stored in the INI file? Why not omit the first pipe and add a space before and after the logical operator?

Yes, they are displayed as they are stored. It's a good idea to make them a bit more readable.

This has been changed in beta 7, please let me know what you think.

Showing just the operator without the pipe is really better - thank you

However there is almost no rule defined here where I can fully read all rule elements. In some rules I cannot even see the first operator. Please consider my suggestion to make this dialog a subdialog of the view modes dialog and fully resizable.

I have considered it, but it would take even more clicks then to change it, so people would use it even less.

[Lefteous]

Why do you think people are not using? It's really well done.

In case the user creates a rule after creating the view mode it's not even an extra click. When creating it later it would be nice to avoid an extra click (though not a big deal). This could be achieved by adding a new menu item to the right click tab menu that would display this dialog directly. This could actually boost usage of the auto-switch feature as it's one the same menu as the most common way to use the manual switch.

Confirm that now only single character is displayed.
