    Out of all the settings in the Display tab, the Third-party transaction URLs is the odd one out. All other settings here affect the way the GUI is displayed. This action affects what context menu actions are available when wallet functionality is enabled, and we have a transaction. As such, it is a better fit for this to be in the Wallet tab.

    Not a part of #430 as it is not a direct improvement of the related code. Instead, it is a different opinion on the position of this setting.

    Concept ACK, agree wallet tab is a better place for this setting.

    Code review ACK 870393fd357f7fc2fedc3a3877b43f1daa736a01. Verified 2nd commit is move-only.

    You can ditch https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/blob/efa227f5df5f5a9669dec5f1d574cf22d3c0903f/src/qt/optionsdialog.cpp#L91-L92

    now that it’s under wallet tab.

    While I can understand the logic behind moving it under the wallet section, I don’t think the reason is strong enough to make sense of the change. Let me explain why I feel so:

    1. Logical Reason:
      • Though this option might be an odd one out under the Display tab. Still, the purpose of this option is to “Display” the transaction in third-party transaction explorer. To put it under the Wallet section doesn’t seem natural from a non-techie’s perspective.
    2. Pragmatic Reason:
      • This option has been under the Display tab for quite a while now (in fact, since it was introduced). To move it under the Wallet tab would introduce unnecessary confusion for a general user.

    However, I do have some suggestions to add upon for this PR, which might help form a solid point for this PR, assisting this change in being added.

    1. Rename the option’s name: To be honest, when I first read the options name, I was not immediately clear about its purpose, and I had to do some further research to understand it. This is a sign of a bad UX design. Rename it to something like “Third Party Transaction explorer” or something else (I am sure you can think of better names of the option than me, :D) and explain clearly in the tooltip what this option means. This will have two advantages:

      • First, it would better UX for this option.
      • Second, this would come as an upgraded version of the earlier setting rather than a mere transfer, which would make it seem logical to be moved under the Wallet Tab.

    2. Giving this option its own subsection: This setting is too different from other options under the Wallet Tab. To put it under the common subsection doesn’t seem to do justice with this setting. A subsection of its own, with a heading that clearly states this setting’s purpose and its relationship to Wallet in general, will significantly increase the understandability of this setting as well as make it seems obvious to be put under the Wallet section.

    These were my 2 cents on this PR. I hope these suggestions might help you make this PR better!

    “Our usage of “third-party” should be hyphenated as it is being used as a modifier of both “URL” and “transaction URLs”.

    Sorry, but my English is poor to get it. Could you elaborate it?

    (Feel free to ignore: I wonder if %s would be better as "%s" to help it not appear to be a bug like "Dear {$customer_name}")

    Looks like while doing this you could add a missing hyphen to “third party tool” in src/qt/forms/optionsdialog.ui:192.

    Thanks for the review, took all the suggestions!
  10. jonatack commented at 10:45 am on September 29, 2021: contributor

    Tested ACK.

    “Third-party” is for an adjective that modifies a subject/noun and “third party” for a subject/noun. So this seems correct. Info: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/third-party.

    I wonder if it would be marginally better UI to group the checkboxes together and the user input boxes together (tx urls and script path).

    Concept ACK. In agreement with Third-party transaction URLs being a better fit for the wallet tab.

    We’ll also need to make the following changes:

    1. In optionsdialog.cpp
    • Move L217(from display section) to L211(wallet section).
    • Move L270(from display section) to L239(wallet section)
    1. In optionsmodel.cpp - Since Third-party transaction URLs come into picture only if ENABLE_WALLET is true,

    unnamed

    Concept NACK, I think the Display tab makes more sense since it’s about the GUI not the wallet itself.

    Additionally, it may be useful outside wallet stuff when (eg) #444 finally gets merged

  14. qt: move third-party tx URL setting from Display to Wallet options tab 
    Out of all the settings in the Display tab, the 'Third-party
transaction URLs' is the odd one out. All other settings here
affect the way the GUI is displayed. This action affects what
context menu actions are available when wallet functionality
is enabled, and we have a transaction. As such, it is a better
fit for this to be in the Wallet tab.

    updated from 870393f -> 0829180

    Changes:

    • addressed @jonatack and @stratospher comments @luke-jr : for now we don’t have a usecase for this outside of the wallet. #444 is a long way from being ready. If you decide to revisit it and get it ready,then i’d be happy to drop this.
