I would suggest to use so called split buttons. They require less width as the separator requires less width compared to the spacing between the buttons. The dropdown arrow also requires less width as the current button caption. There is also no layout problem, the overall complexity of the dialog remains unchanged. And - they look better.

| It took me a long time to notice those two new buttons. May I suggest a little change in the layout like this http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/multirename.png I think It is easier to notice the two small buttons if the size of the "[C] Counter" and the "[=?] Plugin" buttons is the same as the buttons above them. If the new buttons could be just a couple of pixels wider it wouldn't hurt either. |
