Have to enter wallet password twice when sending with a transaction fee #1568

I am using bitcoin-qt 0.6.3.

I often empty my wallet when sending transactions.

What happens:

• I try sending the full amount to see if a fee is required
• I am prompted for my password
• I get a dialog saying that sending the transaction cannot be sent without a fee.
• I substract the fee from the full amount
• I get prompted for my password
• I accept the fee for the transaction
• The send succeeds.

What should happen:

• I try sending the full amount to see if a fee is required
• I get a dialog saying that sending the transaction cannot be sent without a fee.
• I substract the fee from the full amount
• I accept the fee for the transaction
• I get prompted for my password
• The send succeeds.

I think it would make more sense for the transaction dialog to appear first, as I am using a long passphrase. Once the password is entered, the transaction should always go through.

Having a "substract fee from sent amount" button would also be much better than simply saying the coins cannot be sent.

Agreed, it'd make sense to delay the unlocking until private key access is really needed.

The "substract fee from sent amount" button is a nice idea.. They talked little about it in #1570

See #2724 for the "substract fee from sent amount" issue. The main problem here should now be solved as sending has been reworked to show the fee in the confirmation window.
