The gideon project packaging and publishing dialog is promising, but it has some really really annoying inconsistencies :

* In the tab "Source distribution" the name of the future tarball created should be indicated - there is enough space to add a label
messing with %v %n does not give the will of messing with it.

* There should be ONE place and ONE file for configuring the project version. It is not clearly indicated and thus very confusing. By the way, changing the version number everywhere in gideon still produces a tarball with an old version number. For now i find more easy to stick to this : grep the files to look for the version number, change them in every file with vim and then use "make dist" to generate the tarball.

* When the tarball is created, indicate it in the statusbar of the dialog .. "Tarball XXXXXX created"

* The dialog name doesn't match exactly the name in the menu (project distribution & packaging)

* The icon should be the same as the nice icon (the big pixels ..) in the menu

* The "ok/cancel" buttons should be replaced by one button "Done". There is no cancel mode.

* The file list does not make the difference between files and directories included. The directories should perhaps be represented as [+] elements that can be opened ? Or with a particular color ? (just an idea)
