<dowem> Speaking of the menus, doesn't "browse the filesystem" sound like an action more than an application?
<-- shaunm has quit (brb)
<pycage> indeed
<pycage> i prefer it in the actions menu
<dowem> If it is a verb type phras ebeing used in the desktop entry i think it should be in the actions menu
<dcberg> yup, but how do you browse the file sys in the menu?
<dcberg> and what's the action menu... I'm using gnome 2.4 did I miss something?
<pycage> "File System Browser" would better fit into applications than "Browse the File System"
<dcberg> ;) and still the same difference makes sense to me
<pycage> the actions menu is shown next to the applications menu if you use the menu applet
<dowem> dcberg: I will show you
<dcberg> thanks
<pycage> both menus are merged on fedora core 1...
<dowem> http://clarkson.edu/~dowem/Screenshots/menu.png
<dcberg> alright, got it... I messed up my menu too much I guess
<dowem> pycage: I agree that "File Browser" is better than "Browse file system" if its going to stay in the applications menu
<-- auspexAFC has quit (Remote closed the connection)
<pycage> i still prefer "Browse file system" in actions menu :)
<pycage> it's somehow related to search, just that you search by yourself
<dcberg> hmm, I assume that it opens nautilus or any other installed file-browser, so I think file browser is just fine... but on the other hand it is almost part of the system itself, so it's more like a action, just as search, as you said, pycage
<dowem> pycage I agree, i think it is an action
<pycage> yeah, user might be able to set a preferred application for browsing (nautilus/ROX/konqueror/...)
<dowem> I think "Browse Filesystem" would make perfect sense in the actions menu right above "search for files"
<dowem> you know... right in the group along with recent documents
<pycage> yeah, a that's a nice place there
<dcberg> well, no complaints from me on that idea ;)
<dowem> it would sort of group manual file related brosing/searching together
<dowem> while leacing the applications menu for normal applications
<pycage> speaking about "browse file system"... how about a "browse the web" action?
<dcberg> but then I guess, that network servers should move as well
<dowem> network servers is in need of love
<dcberg> sure it is
<dowem> the label isnt a verb
<dowem> but i think it should be
<dowem> and it should also be an action
<dcberg> about browse the web... that is too much like windows, that is too much of thinks in the action menu... then the next would be create a image etc
<dcberg> create a document...
<pycage> you're right... we would end up like the Mandrake menu :D
<dowem> I think moving the file management actions into the actions menu is ok....  but i wouldnt add an action for everything ;)
<dcberg> so yes, we should stick to file mangement which means network and filesys browsing... but I can't think of how to name the network servers as action... brows the network?
<dcberg> *browse
<dcberg> sounds just wrong to me... well, I'm German, but still, I'm convinced there must be a better more suitable option for the name
<pycage> brb... busy
--- pycage is now known as pycage_Away
<dowem> dcberg: yeah we need to come up with a nice verb based name i think before we should consider a move
<dowem> View Network Places ?
<dowem> its sort of long though
