Subject: [PATCH manager v2 1/3] ui: lxc/qemu: rename button label 'Edit' to 'Attach' for unused disks
Date: Tue,  3 Nov 2026 10:27:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103092730.21635-2-e.huhsovitz@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103092730.21635-1-e.huhsovitz@proxmox.com>

Currently, adding an unused (detached) disk requires the user to select
the disk and click the generic "Edit" button. This is confusing,
because: (1) The "Edit" label does not implicitly convey the action of
adding/attaching the disk. (2) The action to make a disk unused is
explicitly labeled "Detach", so a user expects a contrary "Attach"
button.

Harmonize the UI terminology by dynamically changing the "Edit" button
label to "Attach" when an unused disk is selected. This mirrors the
existing behavior of the "Remove" button, which changes to "Detach" for
used disks.

To prevent the toolbar from moving when switching between labels of
different lengths, change the edit button to a proxmoxAltTextButton.
