GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 86569
inconsistent tooltips (drop down back and forward menu)
Last modified: 2005-06-03 06:29:49 UTC
The tooltips for dropdown back and forward buttons read "Go back a few pages" and "Go forward a number of pages" It would be better to choose either "a few" or "a number of" and stick with it.
Do you have a thought on this, Calum?
We should probably just use the same as Galeon, and it uses "Go back several pages" and "Go forward several pages". Although I'm not sure any of the suggestions are especially accurate, makes it sound like pressing it is going to warp you to some random page backwards or forwards :) (But no, I don't have a better suggestion, and a quick check on Windoze Explorer reveals that it doesn't have a separate tooltip for that particular button).
Still here with nautilus 2.4.1 => GNOMEVZER2.4
What about "Go back to already visited locations" and "Go forward to already visited locations"? regs, Chris
Tooltips read: --> Go to the next visited location <-- Go to the previous visited location This sounds great to me, closing this bug.
Actually, we're not talking about the go-back-one-location arrows, but about the go-back-some-locations-dropdown-arrows next to them. regs, Chris
Ok, this one seems silly to keep around. I'd recommend that we just use Manny's suggestions in comment 4. Marking this one as an easy-fix
Created attachment 32931 [details] [review] fix Tooltips from comment 4. Ok to commit?
Comment on attachment 32931 [details] [review] fix This patch doesn't apply anymore - The toolbar has been reworked since this was filed. It has no separate tooltips for the back arrow and history button atm.
Created attachment 37020 [details] [review] updated patch to current nautilus cvs Implement arrow tooltips. Since the tooltips have changed, I think the originally proposed drop-down arrow tooltips don't fit anymore. I've added the epiphany ones here, but you may want to tweak them further :)
Christian, can you send the patch on the nautilus-list for maintainers?
While the patch was approved [1] and applies against HEAD, it does not have the desired effect. Marking as "needs-work". [1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2005-May/msg00079.html
It definitely works here with nautilus HEAD.
Confirmed. Whatever I applied to Nautilus before compiling, it was not that patch :). Marking "accepted-commit_now", since Alex approved it.
Committed to HEAD.
