Build ID: M20080221-1800 Steps To Reproduce: 1. Open the Preferences (Window > Preferences...) 2. Select "Device Management" option inside "Mobile Tools for Java" tree on the left pane 3. Import and/or remove some devices 4. Press "Restore Defaults" button The table should refresh and show the previous devices, but the devices imported are visible and the removed are not visible on the table. More information: If press the "Ok" button the devices will continue the same that were before these actions.
Hi Guys, I was discussing with Diego what should be the CORRECT behavior of the "Restore Defaults" button on the "Device Management" preference page. Our understanding differs from Edwin's one. We think it should not go to previous state (refresh and show the previous devices), instead, it should clean the device base, as this is the default. However we are wondering if this button (together with the apply button) make sense to this screen, or can be disabled/removed. If they make sense, I think their behavior is not correct and we have to discuss/fix it. What are your opinions on that matter?
I think this button may be removed, because there are no default values for the devices.

I think clean the device base is not a good idea. User may delete all the devices which thay take a good effort to add/edit by misoperation. User can always delete devices by the "delete" button. So I think remove or disable the "Restore Defaults" button makes more sense.

I agree, since there are no default values, the "Restore Defaults" button should be left disabled. But I don't know if it is possible to disable it, since eclipse add the Restore and apply buttons by default. We'll have to investigate.
Note that the apply/cancel/ok scheme is not working as expected as weel, as every change in the devices is automatically applied. If this scheme was in place and the user removed every device by misoperation, he should press cancel and get all devices back. I don't think implementing this behavior worths, so I'm +1 to remove/disable "restore defaults" AND "apply" buttons if possible, but I'm open to discussions.
+1
