5 On the Slots tab Order menu, it might be easier to understand if the options were:
  • Custom for this Object
  • Custom for Object Type

... and similarly for the Save As options. This is not a big deal, and it would only take a user one time to figure out what these mean, but it is not entirely obvious at first. A quick look in the Online Help should be able to clear up any confusion.

 

UPDATE [1-23-2013]: We made this text change WITH the reimplementation of the Slot Order combo box using a discrete popup menu in place of the combo box's "native" popup.

This was in the original design, but was initially implemented with just a plain QComboBox. This reimplementation now allows the combo box to be no wider than it needs to be for the five actual order modes. The "one-shot" "Save as" operations (needed only in the popup -- not in the actual combo box) no longer contribute to the width of the combo box.

Here is the prior version:
