Comment (by cdog):

 [comment:23 afercia], constructive feedback, thanks for following up!
 Agreed, disabling the button can cause focus issues. Regarding the
 soultion you have proposed, the button becomes visible when the list in
 not empty. But what happens when you clear it, does it disappear? It will
 have the same effect as disabling the button (losing focus). In my
 opinion, the button should always stay visible. If it's too much for the
 interface, we can move the description to a confirmation dialog or even
 remove it entirely. What about disabling the button only when the list is
 empty and simply preventing multiple AJAX calls during an action? I don't
 think that the empty list with the button looks odd at all. See a similar
 example from OS X:

 Everything else looks good to me. I'am not really sure about how the error
 handling should work, but I can start with adding a new spinner and fixing
 the rest of the things for now.
