It looks good. A few additional remarks:
* the Type selector is a bit confusing, since the two types are
open
from a different menu entry. What is the use case? I would get rid
of it.
I thought it would make sense to be able to open an example file as
template and vice versa.
I would say that it is more confusing than helpful, but it is only me.
* Here I have an empty and disabled language selector. This is very
confusing. What does it mean?
The languages can only be determined for specific entries. So the
selector is filled as soon as you select a file.
I see that now. I only realized now that the language selector that
is on top only applies to the current file. I thought it was some
kind of global selector. This is very confusing to me, but I do not
have (yet) the right idea to propose.
I ran into the same thing. Since it is no filter maybe it is better
put underneath the file selection box, so the order becomes more obvious:
1. Filter
2. Select File
3. Select Language
And in addition, rather than having an active drop down with no
elements, it should become inactive and maybe the Language label grayed
out.
I'll just keep adding my thoughts on the language selector here even
though it did not get a response yet.
I find it strange that the "Preferred language" selector goes away once
one has chosen a language. Isn't it reasonable to want to change the
preferred language even while selecting the files? Why not just select
the preferred language based on the last active selection of a language
for a template? And if that is already the case, the fact that one can
explicitly chose a preferred language at the beginning seems to
obfuscate this.
