Description Maurits Rijk 2003-10-02 10:38:04 UTC 
The HIG makes a clear distinction between header capitalization ("This
Button changes the Color") and sentence capitalizatoin ("This button
changes the color"):
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/layout.html#layout-capitalization

Sentence capitalization should be used for example in checkbox and radiobox
labels. Header capitalization is to be used in menu items and button labels.

At the moment most plug-ins just use header capitalization.

Is anyone going to do this work? If we want to get this into 2.2 it needs to
happen soon so that translators have enough chance to catch up with the changes.
Comment 3 Maurits Rijk 2004-05-25 17:20:39 UTC 
Looks like this is the last (major) part missing for HIG compliancy. Would be
nice to have this for 2.2. I volunteer to do the plug-ins if we go ahead with this.

        * plug-ins:  changed dialogs to follow HIG capitalization style
        wherever they didn't.  Scripts remain to be done.  Partially
        fixes bug #123699.
Comment 5 weskaggs 2004-06-20 23:33:59 UTC 
Um, I actually only went through the Filters menu, so the file plug-ins and any
others not in that menu also still remain to be done.
Comment 6 Sven Neumann 2004-06-21 11:24:42 UTC 
Well, I didn't close the bug report, just put a note about the work you've done.
Please notify us when you think the remaining plug-ins are all done and the
report can be closed. Actually, we should get you Bugzilla powers so that you
can close it yourself...

	* plug-ins: finish implementing HIG capitalization in dialogs.
	Scripts remain to be done.  More progress on bug #123699.

	* plug-ins/script-fu/scripts: HIG-ified capitalization on
	all.  Finishes this for everything in plug-ins.  Bug #123699 is
	now mostly fixed.

        * app/gui/*.c:
        * app/widgets/*.c:
        * etc/templaterc: HIGify capitalization.  Should finish bug #123699
        except for everything I missed or got wrong.
Comment 10 Sven Neumann 2004-06-24 00:38:16 UTC 
Closing this bug then. If someone spots a missing label somewhere, please open a
new bug report for it or just fix it w/o asking.
