Hello,

I might sound weird but I really think there's no need to change anything about thoses buttons dealing with images sequence, or slide, or files, as it will probably add confusion.



Well, certainly 'Add File(s)' is completely okay. But 'Add directory' is actually confusing now - as you have proved yourself in your previous post. It just could be clearer on the difference between the two.

Of course, one could simply improve the documentation on that, but I still think the 'add directory' button should be renamed.

Again, the issue with DCP-o-matic is - should we help/encourage people creating DCPs who do not bother reading the documentation first? ;-)

Then of course, documentation is very often a weak point in open software projects, and the docs for DCP-o-matic are no exception. I wish there would be an easy way to work on the documentation collaboratively in all relevant languages. The guys who contacted me about the problems with single image sequences were not good in understanding english anyway, and as long as there is no documentation in other languages, we should keep the localized GUI as descriptive as possible. Aside from RTFM issues - there is no point in a GUI being unnecessary cryptic ;-)

And I guess Carl is not really strict about that button name staying the way it is now. At the time he implemented it, there was probably no real cause to think about a different name. I am nearly sure we'll find it renamed in one of the next versions anyway. Then it's up to the 'localizers' ;-)


Carl - not tyring (;-) to make this issue more complicated, but taking up your suggestions, when I choose to import an image sequence in Quicktime Pro Player, I get this:
