Good idea. I was thinking about whether or not to show the message, and the change is already mentioned in the ChangeLog, so I think I'll relegate it to the message window.Gerby19 wrote:Hi Andrew!
In the latest builds (I've compiled r323) you've changed the location for the configs under Windows. However, I think that the corresponding message ("Automatically imported old config") could be more confusing for the user than helpful. Usually a user wouldn't mind about those files. When this import (or better movement) happens, nothing really changes concerning the programme's behaviour. So the user starts to ask himself, "What is the consequence? What does this change for the use of this program?".
My suggestion: Don't show this message as a popup. I think mentioning this new feature in the changelog would be sufficient. People who need to copy/delete the config files for any reason or to send xyz files to Jmol would be informed by this entry. An alternative could be mentioning this change in the Messages window.
