Something to be done _after_ 1.4 (apply the changes to the HEAD of gnome-libs, please!): To: Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@online.no> Cc: Martin Baulig <martin@home-of-linux.org>, menthos@menthos.com, gnome-i18n@gnome.org Subject: Re: EOG for GNOME 1.4 - use eog-0-6 branch References: <Pine.SOL.4.32.0102182207490.25865-100000@igloo.df.lth.se> <867l2nbrfd.fsf@einstein.home-of-linux.org> <200102191022.LAA17035@mail44.fg.online.no> Gcc: nnfolder+archive:mail.2001-02 From: Karl Eichwalder <ke@suse.de> --text follows this line-- Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@online.no> writes: > Den 18 Feb 2001 22:40:54 +0100, skrev Martin Baulig: > > > I also don't like changing the UI for only one language very much. > > > > Btw. what do you think about my suggestion to do it in the same way it is > > done in Nautilus ? > > > > EOG Nautilus > > ===================================================== > > > > Create New _Window _New Window > > _Open Image _Open > > _Close This Window _Close Window > I think this is much better.

After 1.4 we should cleanup the strings in gnome-libs :) I'll file a bug report. -- Linux Frechet 2.2.18 #1 Fri Jan 19 22:10:35 GMT 2001 i686 unknown 1:03pm up 9 days, 20:45, 6 users, load average: 0.07, 0.03, 0.00 work : ke@suse.de Karl Eichwalder home : keichwa@gmx.net
I believe the Usability Guidelines might say something about this when they are ready. Keyword "Usability" might be appropriate on this bug.
I think this was fixed for 2.0.x. Please file bugs against specific apps if any are misbehaving still...
