Comment (by criezy):
Thank you for your feedback.
It seems to me that "Cancel", "Apply" and "Close" buttons are pretty
ubiquitous in desktop applications with a consistent behaviour everywhere.
But indeed clarifying there behaviour can only be a positive step, and
adding a tooltip should be easy. I have also seen a few applications using
"Apply and Close" instead of "OK".
Regarding feedback when applying changes that do not change anything
visually, maybe a OSD message could be used (something like "Changes have
been applied" that appears for a few second on screen, like what we have
for example when pressing Alt+Enter to toggle fullscreen).
The changes you propose to enable and disable buttons would be nice, and I
think I have seen it mentioned somewhere else already (or maybe it is on
one of my numerous lists of ScummVM-related things to do on my desk). It
would however also be more work to implement.
