Kevin Menard commented on CAY-888:
----------------------------------
The new wrapped tooltips look great. I added a closing </html> to your code since it seemed to be missing one.
The preference locations wouldn't save with my existing preferences. I had to blow them out in order for anything to work. This may be fine however as I've had to do this several times with the Cayenne 3 milestones anyway.
I'm going to commit the code to close out the issue.

> Object Select Query UI should be smarter and more usable:
> #1 Qualifier field shouldn't be just a dummy text filed. It should be smarter, with validations, or even some sort of completion
> or live checking so that the user quickly can do what he wants and be sure that it's OK. Because this dummy field is very error prone, many CM users avoid "Named Queries". I must admint - even myself - I always type something wrong there.
> #2 When selecting a QueryRoot -> e.g to Person, than the Query Name should be changed too to "PersonQuery", but only in the case the user hasn't manually changed that field to something else than the default generated by CM at dialog open. This is very user friendly (many IDEs offer such "variable suggestion").
> #3 Orderings and Prefetches tab panes should use a JSplitPane to separte the upper and the lower zones. For entities with many fields, the users always have to scroll because one can't simply drag a split pane to adapt the size.
