Description Jonas Jørgensen 2007-12-07 21:37:23 UTC 
When adding a new startup program, if I only fill out the command field, it complains "The name of the startup program cannot be empty".

It is not necessary to require me to put something in the Name field. If the Name field is empty, the contents of the Command field can simply be used as the display title, or the command can be copied to the Name field instead of displaying the alert.

Additionally, when this is fixed, perhaps Command should be moved up above Name so an optional field doesn't precede a required one.

Or, the code could helpfully copy the command to the Name field, and not complain so much.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
