Description stevebenton 2010-05-05 21:14:10 UTC

Version:           2.0.0_devel (using KDE 4.4.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The legend dialog should appear as part of the full edit dialog for a plot.

Whether to display the legend should be moved from the "Labels" tab, with the remaining legend configuration greyed out when not displaying it.

Maybe for single-entry plots it should also be possible to disable drawing the line sample in the legend.

I tend to agree that some dialogs in kst2 need a bit of usability work. Something as prominent as the legend should probably be in a more visible place...

Change version from 2.0.0_devel to 2.0.0 to simplify version numbering.

This patch has been on my disk for a while now, before it gets lost I wanted to attach it here.
It is unfinished, as the "edit multiple" stuff is a bit complex, especially in combination with the "match to contents" option. It probably requires a bit more time and discussion to finish, and probably more coding skill and time than I have.
