With expanding the pools and renaming the action column to the single action
it provides, namely "Restore" would have been already enough to defuse any
confusion about where to trigger a restore. Any how, it is definitively more
prominent this way, so I applied it with some small changes:
* set icones in the tbar button, matching with other uses
* always show the snapshot grid in the wizard to avoid that much empty space
And rather independent of your series: add a bit more context to the tooltip
of the restore action button.
The "Restore from Tape" docs section could do with some expansion and maybe even
a screenshot of the wizard now, then we could set the onlineHelp reference
in the wizard to - maybe we could then also explain there that restoring a whole
set is possibly cheaper to do than restoring a partial selection of snapshots.
thanks!
