Separation of FTP connect dialog and bookmarks

Post by SvA »

In the FTP connect dialog, when it pops up, the last bookmark used is selected. If I want to connect to a new location I must remember to first select the 'Quick Connect' entry, because else there is no way (or is there?) to keep the settings of the bookmark as they were before I started to enter new connection details. In my oppinion, this is inacceptable behaviour (and contrary to generaly accepted design rules, yes even against German law). There needs to be a way to undo the changes before they are committed in some way. Therefore there should definitely be a 'Save' button and either a 'Name' field or a 'Save as' button. No Bookmarks should be auto saved, unless you add a recent connections feature, which might be more useful than the current field histories on 'Address' and 'Initial path' fields.

You can use Cancel button in this dialog to forget changes.

We plan to add confirmation dialog here - it will ask before you change existing bookmark.
