The SCT lock state needs to be persistent. Since a newly
created SCT is initially unlocked, an SCT will be locked only if the user
has actually locked it.

There needs to be a Remove Group operation for selected dividers. ... There are now both "Divider" and "Group" operations available when one or more Dividers are selected. This applies not only to "Remove" but also the subsequently implemented "Copy" and "Cut" operations. The two "views" in the original design did a good job of distinguishing removal of dividers vs. groups. This was one of a few thing that become a little more complicated when supporting all operations with only a tree view. |

Replace the "Done" button with two buttons, supporting the ability to discard changes. There will be two buttons with text and enabledness depending on whether or not any changes have been made since initiating the "Edit Series Slot List" mode ...
These buttons will have tooltips describing their function. |

4 | DEFER | "Create Similar Groups" technical fix. I need to be more careful about the "visibility" of slots. Just because a slot is found with our "locate" function (on SimWS), doesn't mean that the slot is visible. The current implementation is generating "has not been instantiated" errors (in diagnostics). This turns out to be a problem with the SimWS::locateSlot method itself. We're deciding to not deal with this now. See problem description e-mail. |

5 | DONE 8-23 |
When initiating the "Edit Series Slot List" mode, the slot selection in the series slot data table needs to be conveyed to the Edit Series Slot List -- (and of course, the Edit Series Slot List should be scrolled to that selection). | ||||

Maybe ... put a keyboard accelerator on the SCT's Slot menu's "Edit Series Slot List" menu item. (This was important for a choice of some other change which we didn't choose, but it may still be warranted). Added keyboard accelerator for:
Note: I had initially tried both "Alt+S" and "Alt+E". Both of those had conflicts, though I don't see why. Those key sequences were not used within the SCT Dialog. Maybe they conflicted with (true) "shortcuts" (i.e. distinct from "accelerators"), though I hadn't understood that that was an issue -- perhaps it is when using "Alt". |
