Options comments
Some panes are better but the tree view was more logical once you consider all of the options it allows you to edit. I'd have rather seen incremental improvement/cleanup of the "Advanced" view rather than a new view.
The fact that it seems to be slow according to some reports (verified by me too) and, of course, issue #70742, leads to the idea that it's unfinished
All options in advanced pane should be made available to new options window.
There should be a hard and fast rule that determines what goes on the "basic" view.
Line number option needs to be added to the editor options.
I really like it. For quick settings it's great. I also appreciate holding onto the old settings manager as an advanced option.
Please don't lose the "Advanced Options" menu, power users love it.
It would be nice to have a panel where I can change the startup parameters for NetBeans, that would be saved in the etc/netbeans.conf file. That is something still lacking since the very early versions of NB.
Really simplifies and freshens up that area.
Very nice, obviously having the advanced options still there is a must as there are things that arent available in simple view. However, the simple view is great for changing those things that are there.
Really "klunky". I wish more time would have been devoted to other NB features.
Don't really care, not a great leap forward for mankind
I like both the new Options window and the advanced options view.
I like it.
It is a good compromise for simple actions. Please don't remove the advanced options. The Mozilla to Firefox transition is a good example of over-simplifying an options dialog and not providing an expert mode.
The new Options windows could be a success if a lot of options were present there. We are now obliged to switch to Advanced when necessary. But it was said you will work on that to solve the problem.
I like it alot. I think modules need a way to register options which are currently set on the command line only. If they could register descriptive human readable/understandable information, the switch/property name, valid values, and a user level netbeans.conf file then the IDE could manage the switches the user would like to use on IDE/Platform startup from the options screen. That would make it even better. Updated: $Date: 2006/01/23 09:27:45 $ GMT
