It's a bit like PNGs back when all we used in Windows were ICO files.

Anyway, also added the icon justification option I 100% know someone would eventually ask for later when "extend full screen width" is enabled for a dock. It's only 2 more lines of code and might as well add that option now

Small but MAJOR change I need to do:

Many, many, eons ago, the "Apply" button in Preferences was actually called "Preview". There was also a "Restore" button.

In the new GUI the "Restore" button was removed and the "Preview" button, For some reason I can no longer remember, was renamed to "Apply".


Here is the problem: what the Apply button in Preferences does is not what a user expects an Apply button would do (i.e. apply changes permanently but keep dialog open), it is still what a Preview button would do: it applies the changes, and you can then make them permanent by clicking OK or revert them by clicking Cancel.

I've also seen many users thinking they need to click Apply before clicking Ok to close the dialog, which is just a waste of clicks.

So, I'm thinking I should rename the Apply button back to Preview. This would take care of actual meaning.

However, the ideal button order according to ChatGPT then becomes "Exit, Help, Ok, Cancel, Preview" so I should change the order of the buttons too (then again, CoPilot does not agree lol). I hesitate to do this, however, because of muscle memory. For decades existing users have gotten used to click the last button to cancel changes (and the button before it to apply changes and close the dialog). Clicking Preview by mistake when you intended to click Cancel is not a biggie, but clicking Cancel by mistake when you intended to click Ok, is.

So, I'm facing three choices:

1. Keep everything as is, i.e. keep the Apply name
2. Rename Apply to Preview but keep the button in the same place
3. Rename Apply to Preview and move it to after the Cancel button.

What do you guys think? Need some opinions ASAP please.

PNGs are perfect for online use - and more besides - but WebP don't really add anything, as far as I can see.

Yeah, that makes sense in that context Jorge - absurd though the whole "extend full screen width" thing is for a dock.

Chat GPT and Copilot are both imbecilic programmes and only interested in harvesting your data/chats. Changing the order is just urinating in the wind.

I'd suggest rename to Preview and keep it where it is, simple.

Ahahhah I agree...

By the way, you are not going to believe how good the User Guide the AI is making for WorShelf is (with my help, of course, we are already at revision 17).

Take a look at THIS (still work in progress, of course).

Guys, please take a quick look at the updated User Guide in the link above and let me know if you spot anything wrong or out of place. Opinions are also very much welcome.

EDIT: Never mind, going through it myself already found (and fixed) a few problematic sections. Still at less than 1/3 though, this is going to be a lot of work.

On the other hand, perhaps v26.6 will be released finally featuring a complete and up-to-date User Guide.
