 Description  « Hide
Now when I click Locate Duplicates menu, IDEA suggests to search for duplicates, and then, after I click OK it shows settings.
There are several usablity problems here:
1. As a user, after clicking "OK" I assume the program performing actions, not asking for settings.
2. It's really difficult to find settings. If I want to configure "Locate Dupliucates" feature, I don't know where the settings are.
The solution is as follows:
1. After the user clicks "Locate Duplicates" show the settings screen.
2. In the settings screen, unite information from "Scope" and "Settings" windows.
3. Instead of "OK" there can be "Locate" button.

The "OK" on the first dialog is confusing. They should change that to "Next" and ideally merge the two dialogs either as a single dialog or as a wizard dialog.
