Improvements to Export process.

[GaryAlbers]

I have two suggestions for improving the NT 8 export process.

1) After checking the box 'Export as compiled assembly' and filling in the product name, I suggest that the product name be provided as the default file name in the next dialog. I would guess that this is often what is chosen and this would save having to type it again.

2) When the export compile step succeeds and the little dialog pops up to verify which NinjaScript files will be included (see exportDialogTooSmall.jpg) the cursor is a spinning circle which implies i cannot click, fortunately I can. Also the dialog is too small by default. It should be big enough to at least show a couple files in the list.
The spinning circle and dialog with no list showing is confusing because at first it does not appear that there is anything I can interact with. When I see there is a list to scroll, it is way to small to understand easily and harder to click with the spinning cursor.

Thanks,
Gary

Another improvement when exporting scripts is to "Export with Errors"...

Sometimes I don't want to export 20 to 30 files that are linked as they are a different package and would already be installed. It would be nice to simple EXPORT and not have the system try to compile to check for errors/missing files. Maybe a checkbox or dialog box upon "unsuccessful export".

Hello GaryAlbers,

To update:

1) Default file name has been assigned to SFT-1037
2) Make the "files to be included" window larger has been assigned SFT-1038
3) The blue circle is regrettably out of our control.

Thanks again for your suggestions.
