Description
I propose a redesign and simplification of the UI. If a graph is dynamic, Gephi should always calculate static and dynamic degrees, and there should be only one option for that, not two. Maybe it should warn the user if the graph is too big that dynamic calculation will take too much time, and give an option to turn that off.
Reason: users usually start with static graphs, then graduate to dynamic ones. A habit is formed calculating static degree, so it's easy to overlook the need to calculate dynamic one.
I made some sketches to illustrate the proposal, but they are lacking in how to incorporate other dynamic stats.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposal and the two linked UI sketches, then locate the existing UI options for static and dynamic degree calculation. Determine how dynamic graph statistics are currently presented and where a unified option would fit. Done means an agreed UI design that handles calculation warnings and other dynamic statistics.
