Too Easy VII -- Things we should do because they are so simple
Matt:
I'll add a close button today. It's a good idea.
whoareyou:
In convolution, there is now option for reload and the combobox for filters.
What would complete the new options is a "reset" button for when you've designed a new set of filters, or just want to clean things up. Not done very often, but IMHO it would be very nice.
(I've found myself resetting by going to registry a couple of times).
Thanks!
Done. Thanks

I click on a large field edit type, and it expands. The attached image therefore shows what I see when editing a large tag.
In order to 'close' this large edit, I have to do one of the following:
* Scroll and click into another field. (Can't just click into another field, as it fills nearly all the available space)
* Use the tab key to move to the next field.
The popup mode could do with tweaking too, now that I look at it (not something I normally use).
When this is closed, we come straight back to the open large edit as per my screenshot.
I'd (personally- others may have different opionions) put it back to the contracted state.
Basically, a clicky button to the left of Edit in Popup in my first image would to me at least give a nice trigger and visual cue to deliberately close / save the edited tag. I'd likely avoid the confirmation dialog you see when using the popup, would want to double think that though.

I wondered why I was struggling to grasp what you were talking about as I have no trouble closing these large edit fields when open for editing, and upon seeing your picture, I know why...
After editing, ie. typing, hit Alt+Enter and your edits are saved and the field is closed. Since it was introduced, I do it without thinking about it. It's especially easy as your hands are already on the keyboard.

leezer3:
It's interesting the little things you never notice in 15 years :)
Two different methods of doing the same thing I've not found.
Suppose I never noticed ALT+ENTER is because my primary use of large edit fields is unediteded copy + paste data from elsewhere. (My stuff is esoteric enough to not be in any databases)
Clicking on the red bit is also not especially logical- There's no tool tip, cursor change etc to show something happens when I do :)
IMHO the button I propose is still a good idea- The red space is 'wasted' and a button here provides a clear prompt.
YMMV though.
HPBEME:
The change to the large edit fields for the modern tag window were desired by many many people for a long long time. And I'm so happy that Matt made these changes.
That said, the legacy tag window for large edit fields is still better. You never end up with a double scrollbar, and the header bar changes to the title of the large edit field itself with a built-in close button to return to the full list tag window. Below is a side-by-side comparison. Is there any reason that the modern tag window (left pic) cannot be made to match exactly the legacy tag window (right pic) for all the large edit fields?
