I20050928-1300 The menu 'Fully Qualify Duplicates' in the Open Type dialog does not affect the qualification (which is always on for duplicates) but actually appends the container info.
I agree that the names are quite confusing. 'Fully qualified' normally means including package. Here it means including container info. Suggestion 'Show container for duplicates' This conflicts with the 'Show container info' which I would call, 'Show status line' Dirk, why is the first option only for duplicates? Why would you want it there, but not for the rest? Could the option be removed?
The feature works as follows: - if Fully Qualify Duplicates is unchecked two types with the same name are qualified until they "name" is unique. - if Fully Qualify Duplicates is checked two types with the same name are are alqays qualified with the full container path. So the feature works as expected (Dani, if you disagree please provide a test case). However, I can't come up with a better name which is short. The option is there to not always qualify the names. This would make reading the names even harder.
>So the feature works as expected (Dani, if you disagree please provide a test >case). I was interpreting 'fully qualify' as the package qualification only and hence expected that 'Fully Qualify Duplicates' would affect the package qualification for duplicates which it doesn't. Now that the function has been explained it boils down to the naming of the menu entries. Though 'Full Path' is not saying much it's not conflicting with known terms and it is also used in the Search view. I also like Martin's suggestion to rename the other item 'Show status line'. This would make it clear and would even allow to remove the separator, making the menu smaller and nicer.
Fixed by changing the names and reordering the menu.
Verified using I20051031-2000 Dirk can you set it to verified? I can't.
Setting to verified.
