Hey All, I'm looking at this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117573 Which in a nutshell is making the CDDB properties dialog instant apply. I'm leaning towards marking it as "NOTABUG" because I think that the dialog itself shouldn't be instant apply - but I wanted to run that by the usability list first. Here's why: I was thinking about what ends up being in the GConf database, and we really want what is in the GConf database to be something this is a set of reasonable settings when ever we can. So, if we assume that the GConf database had reasonable settings before the user opened the dialog - changing part of them could put the entire set in a unusable state. For example: If I was using the public FreeDB database, but I wanted to switch to an internal one that requires real log on information. I could, change the server to "Other Server..." and then switch the log on information to "Send real information". For the time between those two actions, the GConf database would have a set of information that doesn't allow for a successful lookup. Now, as I sit here and read this back, I'm thinking that this won't be a case that is very often, and the results are not disastrous if it does occur. So I guess the question I'm posting is: Is a rare and non-destructive bug worth removing another 'Apply' button? --Ted
