Next to the list I have set of buttons. What first button
does depends on status of selection in the list of things.
Personally, I would prefer it if the UI had buttons that did just one
thing. That way, if the user double clicks accidentally, things work
as they expect - the extra click will just hit a disabled button.
Similarly,the user can build muscle memory - I click 'here' to start
things, and 'there' to stop them.
I find that morphing controls, or controls that do irreversable and
different things to be annoying, more often than not.
Take it for what you paid for it.
