In the Network adapter setup of version 9.1, the OK button does not activate the settings any more.
Can this be reverted to the way we are familiar with? The 'new config stuff' is not really usefull on this screen.

FYI https://github.com/O...a06f5d5fc7ea...

 

And there are still some screens left that use the old method....

 

The new changes are can never make the OK button consequent anymore... as the OK button now toggles, show lists, how can it do actions? (if so then it could have kind of random behavior).... To start network you can use blue botton.

This new config stuff is so illogical. OK is now used for options and Blue is the new OK? Who came up with this?

 

It should be the other way around. OK should stay as it always was and Blue (or another button) should be used for selecting options.

Sorry I can revert this.... you can still do the same with green button....!!!! Actially the 'old' OK button did the same as green.... (and the added blue does now also the same...)

 

With OK you can toggle, get a selection list etc....

I agree, it's not consequent any more. While the idea for this new config was basically good, misusing the OK button has created a lot of mess.

But how to overcome this?

@littlesat, Do you think it's possible to reasign the buttons? Instead of OK, use the INFO button for option lists?

I preciously had the recordings (list, movieplayer) button for this. I think only a few know that option exists. Actually (mis)using ok for action was never a good idea. Unless you add a raw in the config that intend to do an action (klick on on this one to start networking). Doing it via the green button here which always worked before as it saves the settings and use it seems to be logical. It is only that the ok button is doing what it always should do we have to get used to as this is the one we’re get used to and is now on the top of our fingers.
Adding a row might only be helpful when green has a different meaning than what the ok did eg in sleep timer. There blue is used for action… like red/blue is also now previously/next in the wizard
