#12598 closed enhancement (duplicate)

No cancel button in creation wizards

Reported by: jxerome Owned by:
Component: GUI Version: VirtualBox 4.3.6
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Mac OS X

Description

There is no cancel button in the creation wizards (VM and disk). Therefore, if you click by mistake on the "new" button, or if you change your mind, you have no choice but to create a new VM or disk.

... or you press the escape key.

... if you're a virtualbox expert but in this case you don't need a wizard.

Sorry, this has nothing to do with VirtualBox. Escape is the standard key for aborting actions on every PC. That might be different from the Mac OS X guidelines, therefore I leave this ticket open.

Actually a duplicate of #12541.

Replying to frank:

... or you press the escape key.

… or you could just consider that a UX is a system per se that must follow its own internal rules to be consistent, where the standards are only secondary and must be implemented in addition to said consistency. In this case (and many others in Virtualbox as far as I can tell), adding a "Cancel" button when a function requires or leaves the option of a mouse actions is merely a way to make the UX consistent. Their absence is an inconsistency.
