<clarkbw> everything seems ok
<clarkbw> but... then you see this sick little thing!

<dowem> clarkbw: done and done ;)
<clarkbw> ^ WTF is that window?
<clarkbw> kevinv, can you make the "Add palette..." item from the drop down
<clarkbw> call the preferences window
* dowem doesnt know what a palette is in this context :)
<clarkbw> dowem, they are in the pref. window
<clarkbw> you can add the applet to your panel and check out the interface
<-- paulo has quit (Leaving)
<clarkbw> the pref window with that entry opened
<dowem> that applet must not like me ;)
<dowem> it threw weird characters all over my panel :)
<dowem> someone get a preist, a young one and an old one !
<-- jwl (~james@69.28.224.67) has left #ui-review
<clarkbw> is what i'm getting at, I think the popup entry by itself is ok
<clarkbw> it should probably select the latest add for usage too
<clarkbw> two separate issues:
<clarkbw> adding a new palette doesn't select it automatically
<clarkbw> and add palette from the drop down should open the pref window with the add
<kevinv> clarkbw: why should adding a new palette select it?
<clarkbw> kevinv, i'm guessing (not really knowing) that people don't add multiple palettes at at time
<clarkbw> without using them
<kevinv> clarkbw: that's kinda the intended behavior - a user sets up a bunch of palletes, and then switches between them
<dowem> welll ladies and gents im off to bed... I will be arounfd for more ui review tomorrow am :) 9 am sharp EST
<dowem> i say we make this a marathon ;)
<clarkbw> kevinv, i guess i'm assuming a setup palette as you need use
<clarkbw> kevinv, but if you know it's otherwise i don't have a strong basis for this
<clarkbw> later dowem
<kevinv> clarkbw: the idea is you may have a palette for money symbols, for arabic letters, for accented characters etc
<kevinv> clarkbw: and you want to be able to quickly insert these characters when needed
<clarkbw> kevinv, ok, but i'm looking at just the part of entering a new palette
<clarkbw> kevinv, is this done all at once, or new palette entered as needed and then switched between as needed
<clarkbw> does it have a one time setup, or is it tweaked as you go?
<kevinv> clarkbw: it would be tweaked only when you need to enter some character that wasn't in a palette
<kevinv> clarkbw: you are right in that the popdown menu "add palette" could just go to the prefs dialog
<kevinv> clarkbw: or just be removed from the popdown menu
<clarkbw> kevinv, that's what i'm trying to get a grip on.  
<clarkbw> kevinv, if it's a one-time setup, then the popdown add doesn't make sense (could be clicked by accident)
<kevinv> clarkbw: yah, that sounds correct
<clarkbw> kevinv, ok, and the pref menu is a little better interface for managing the palettes
<clarkbw> ok, i'll file a bug and lets move on
<kevinv> clarkbw: 129757 already filed
<kevinv> clarkbw: you can add comments to that bug
<clarkbw> kevinv, ok and i'll put our IRC log in there
<clarkbw> bug is done, lets move on!
