I think you misunderstand me. Of course the changes should be applied, I'm just saying I thought the "Connect" button label was a little confusing. "Apply" would work as well in this case, but I think something like "Update Connection Settings" etc is more verbose, but also more clear. What I meant by not having an apply button a few posts ago, was that in most Mac apps you don't have a 2 step process to change settings aka change then apply. When you change a setting that's it, it's both changed and updated at the same time. I do agree with Jonathan that, in this case, it makes sense to have a 2 step process. I was mainly pointing out I thought the labeling could be more clear. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika danomatika.com robotcowboy.com
