RC2: Grid dialog with OK, Apply, and Cancel

I still think that the grid dialog should have three buttons: OK, Apply, Cancel. I've just used the dialog and think that it does not work properly with two buttons "Apply" and "Close". Close saves the last change, so currently there is no way to close without saving the last change.

We are very close to 1.90 final release, Pierre please decide whether you still can include this or this has to be postponed.

There are three functions:
1. Apply setting and close dialog. (OK)
2. Apply setting - do not close dialog (Apply)
3. Cancel the latest changes and close the dialog (Cancel)

So there should be three buttons. Since the dialog is very small, there is no real need for three buttons, but it would be consistent with other dialogs (e.g. Windows' Options dialogs). And perhaps one day the XnView's option dialog will have three buttons, too. ;-)
V 1.90 <x>
