Issue #7516 - UI consistency of Tasks breaks with the Appearance & Measurement tool's task UI

Post by rahmanshaber »

All the tool's task UI's "Cancel" and "OK" button in top except the measurement tool's. Same is true for appearance tool's task

There is nothing to cancel for the measurement tool, but for the Appearance tool Cancel would make sense.

Cancel will undo the move, and save time if the model the too big.

The measurement tool doesn't move anything and it doesn't invoke a recompute.

yes, true for the measurement tool, but we need that cancel button for "appearance" as @chrisb said .

But we need those buttons in top part in both tools task view.

+1 to having them on top, I remember putting this in my todo list last year, but as you can probably guess I never got around to doing the stuff in my list :oops:

It's fairly easy fix i believe and won't take much time, why don't you @adrianinsaval give that a try and cut that from you list?
