feedback request from:
"Elliott Hughes" <###@###.###>
-----------------------
>1. Why can't we have a -real- platform-native file chooser? The Swing one,
>though available on all platforms, looks wrong on all platforms, and is of
>generally poor quality (missing features, badly implemented features, and
>missing features).
> + Also: setting a default filename doesn't seem to work.
> + Also: the last directory we were in doesn't seem to be remembered. Each
>chooser comes up back in the %USERPROFILE% directory on Windows, $HOME on
>Unix.
>
>2. Security advisories should use the native platform's default "Yes"-"No"
>placement rather than the Java Look and Feel's scheme. We've found users
>confused by this, thinking that by the time they've read all that text they
>know what to do next. Because the buttons are the wrong way round (for
>everyone apart from Psion/EPOC users, I suppose) they often get the wrong
>button. This is particularly problematic in combination with the checkbox to
>prevent the warning from being shown again. I'd go so far as to suggest that
>this option shouldn't be available in conjunction with "No". It would even
>seem to make more sense to offer "Yes, always" and "Stop this program"
>options instead; what on earth is anyone doing running a program they don't
>trust?
>3. 'Clear Cache' the cache doesn't delete everything in the cache. It would
>be nice, at least for developers, if there were some way of doing this, even
>if it isn't available by default.
