Remove Dust / Remove Spot – text on button

What problem do you see this solving?
As it is, the Dust Removal tool button says Remove Dust regardless of whether Remove Dust or Remove Spot is selected, and so you have to open the menu to see which is selected. If the button would reflect the current selection, you would only need o open the menu if you needed to change the selection, and it would generally make more sense.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Every time I use the tool, i.e. almost every time I use Capture One.

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?
I don't know of any workarounds.

Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?
Yes.

Apparently this request is based on a misunderstanding of how the Dust Removal tool works – see Kevin Robbins' explanation here. As I'm not the only one who misunderstood the way it works, perhaps it would be a good idea to make it a little more intuitive, or to make the description on the help page (here) a little clearer.

  To clarify for the OP and commenters, there is the dropdown for the TOOL selector, but the text that says "Remove Dust on the grey background is a BUTTON to initiate the AI dust removal process. These are two separate things. The BUTTON will activate the dust removal AI feature. The dropdown will select the manual dust/spot removal tool.

  Thanks for pointing this out.

  This really isn't very intuitive. The help page (Auto Dust Removal) doesn't make it particularly clear that this is how it works. And the multiple references to "dust spots" – as opposed to dust and spots – doesn't make it any clearer.
