RE: [TSVN] Settings dialog

Hi Simon

I agree :-)

The only thing I'm not so happy about are the blank "Look & Feel" and
"External Programs" main pages.

I also preferred the old way, but I don't care much, because don't change
these settings regularly.

I'd rather make it a "Subversion" group on the general page which contains:

- Ignore patterns
- Edit Config file
- Clear auth cache

There's plenty of space in these pages now, but how about having
Internal and External next to each other, the browse for external button to
the right and the command line box for both (internal and external) below
it. This way you'd get the 'Builtin radio button text' you want and a long
box for the parameters.

/Ascii Art On

(x) Internal ( ) External [...]
[TortoiseMerge.exe]

Or

( ) Internal (x) External [...]
[C:\Program Files\ExamDiff Pro\ExamDiff.exe %base %mine]

/Ascii Art Off

If I get three +1 I'll change the dialog layout (and leave the
implementation to Steve ;-) )
