Title: [ Solved ] sce-remove shows non-existant item
Post by: sm8ps on January 28, 2016, 05:38:57 AM

Cosmetic issue. Do not recall seeing this before; maybe only occurs if a multiple of 15 extensions are in the list?

Code: [Select]

Choose the sce you want to remove on shutdown.
31. quit
Enter selection ( 1 - 31 ) or (q)uit, (n)ext, (p)revious: : q

Nope, seems to happen consistently (dCore-trusty:2016.01.24.01.44).

Code: [Select]

Choose the sce you want to remove on shutdown.
31. x-tile
32. quit
Enter selection ( 1 - 32 ) or (q)uit, (n)ext, (p)revious: :

The quit was added so if there was only one item it would not be autoselected, one can just select quit or press q and not choose the last choice in the list.

Rewording 'quit' to 'quit to proceed with removals' might negate confusion. Silly that default select behaviour causes this issue.

Thanks for clarifying, Jason! I agree with nitram that it would be good to re-word the entry. At least myself found this a bit confusing. I suggest "End of list."

'End of list' is also good, would resolve the other issue where '(n)ext' is always displayed despite being at the end.

Ain't no use explaining if people cannot read. I missed the last part about the item bearing functionality, sorry!  :(
Nitram's suggestion "quit to proceed with removals" is much more to the point than a simple "end of list". Maybe use capitals to make it super-clear to anyone including me that this is not the name of a package.

I have found what allows the last choice not to be autoselected.  Will remove the "quit" option and upload tomorrow.  But still, the looped menu that allows multiple selections probably needs a "press enter to proceed" with making no choice rather than quit, I will put that in there and see how we like it.

But this messes up sce-import, which depends on autoselect of only one entry.  So the solution may be to have two select commands, one for sce-import which autoselects, the other for the rest.
