Hi, I have a UI request for xconfig. Seems somewhat simple & obvious from a user perspective. I'm not saying that it's simple to implement, but maybe someone out there would be interested in doing so.
By default all menus start as open or expanded, but they can also be closed by clicking on the "[-]" to the left of the menu heading, to reduce the amount of screen real estate that the menu occupies. However, when the parent menu is left (when the user moves to another parent menu), the open/closed state of the user-requested-closed menu is lost, so that when its parent menu is clicked/opened again, the previously closed sub-menu is also open/expanded rather than closed. The UI request is simply for menus that the user has requested to be closed (unexpanded), they remain that way until the user clicks on the "[+]" to open them. Many examples are possible. Here's one: Go to the Networking menu and then cliick on "Networking options". Click on the "[-]" to the left of "TCP/IP networking" because it takes too much screen space. Disable IPX and Appletalk below TCP/IP (this is just a pretend scenario). Now click on "Network device support". Oops, forgot something in the Networking menu, so click on Networking + "Networking options". Darn, the TCP/IP networking menu is expanded again, using up all that valuable screen space. (maybe I just need a bigger screen :) --- ~Randy Phaedrus says that Quality is about caring. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
