%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---

Kubuntu 12.04, Radeon HD 6290

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

Blender 2.68 Release Candidate, feature not available in older versions

- Short description of error ---

In the User Preferences dialog under the File tab, the Tooltip for the Excluded Paths field, which is enabled when Auto Run Python Scripts is checked, displays "(undocumented operator)" rather than a description of the purpose of the field.

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

Under the File menu select User Preferences... to open the preferences window, then click the File tab. With Auto Run Python Scripts checked (which it is by default) hover the mouse over the "+" sign to the right of the Excluded Paths field. The Tooltip will display (assuming you have Tootips enabled under the Interface tab of the User Preferences window).

%%%Assigning to Campbell.

Campbell, I tried to fix this, but the logic is confusing.
The UI says "Excluded files", which indicates that paths added here have auto run disabled, but the operators says "Add Autoexec Path", which indicates it adds paths which then have auto run enabled.

It would be good to make this more logical as well ;)

%%%I find the logic confusing as well. It seems like the user would want to specify paths where safe scripts are placed, not try to exclude every possible path where an unsafe script might be placed.%%%

%%%fixed r58069.

ability to flip logic for opt in/out could be nice, Ton and I thaught not to add this initially though. it may be possible in the future.%%%
