Pls, Increase the lenght of button for 6224 text

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Pls, Increase the lenght of button for 6224 text

Post by *Eugensyl2 »

Pls, increase a little bit the button `Syncronize' from Compare by content (6224 from LNG file).
You can decrease the near list button that have only two digits (the answer if checkbox of 6217 is checked).

And the name of button can be 6224="Syncronize..."
because follow a dialog box if you press the button.

It is a cutuma, when on an menu we have next a dialog box (or a list) have three points at the end.

How much do you need? Will 10 pixel be enough?

The chosen sync. option is shown on the button, so whith your proposal it would show for example: "Syncronize... 2" that would look peculiar. Currently that is shown as "Sync: 2" with Internal English dialog

I think, YES.

How about rename this button as "Compare..."
because is about comparatives not necessary "Synchonize" ?

It determines how the compare position is synchronized when a difference is found. I would not call it "Compare" because we are already in the compare dialog, and users may falsely think that the button causes TC to re-compare the files.

That would work too, it's just less precise to what it does.

no exactly. imho.
In English, "method" refers to a systematic and structured approach or procedure for accomplishing a specific task or achieving a particular result. It is often associated with a series of steps or techniques used to accomplish something. And "type" is generally more inclusive and can encompass a wider range of categories or classifications - which is not a point of interests here imho)))

But ;) from programming context - it can be used probably))

Please check whether the button size is sufficient now.

If you can, please increase the width a little bit.
Now it's exactly the necessary width, but the number (2 or 3) is not entire visible.

Thank you!

Perhaps an explanatory screenshot? Because the word "a little bit' is how many in pixels?
the author will have to choose some rigidly fixed number for this.
And imagine that it "a little" - namely, 2 pixels will not hit the target?

I will try with 2 pixels more in 96dpi. The problem is that I can't make the dropdown combobox to the left too narrow, otherwise the numbers in there will be cut.
