Denis Maliarevich commented on JBIDE-3451:
------------------------------------------

To make the understanding of the options on the VPE preference page more clear the following steps could be performed:

1) Add "Main instructions" in the top of the preference page that user could notice the matter of this page, e.g. "On this page you can set default VPE setting for files that haven't been opened in the VPE before. Already opened files will have their previous editor state restored."
  In this case the behavior of some other VPE preference page options should be updated because changing some of them affects current opened editor.

2) "Supplemental explanations" (an elaboration of the control labels (typically for command links, radio buttons, and check boxes) can be used to clarify the purpose of this VPE option, e.g. "Default Editor Tab" can have an explanation like "Select the active editor's tab for files that haven't been previously opened in the VPE".

3) One more checkbox could be added to the preference page saying that "Apply these settings every time I open a file in VPE. Do not remember previously saved state." So than VPE will use preference page settings every time and for any file, regardless it's new or has been previously opened.

> Maxim, as you told me "Default Editor Tab" selection means default editor tab selection for new created jsp file (for example), in other rest cases vpe remember it's last open state. When i press "Preferences" and "Default Editor Tab" i expect to change something usefull for current editor.
> We can easy remove it and always open "Visual/Source" for new created files.
> Or it should be renamed into something like this "Default Editor Tab for new VPE files" - this name help you avoid questions.
