Forwarded from: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gthumb/+bug/34344 In gthumb on an up-to-date Dapper install, the Edit->Find menu item is not labeled Edit->Search as recommended in the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. See http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-standard.html#menu-standard-edit for reference (Table 4.8): "If the command allows the user to search for content in places other than the current document, for example other open documents, other documents on disk, or a remote network location, label this item Search instead of Find." Steps to reproduce: 1) Open gthumb 2) Click on the Edit menu 3) Click on the Find menu item in the Edit menu Actual Results: 1) In the Edit menu there is a Find menu item which has a Ctrl+F shortcut 2) The dialog that opens when you click on Find is entitled Find but the rest of the dialog refers to "search"ing Expected results: 1) The Edit menu should have a menu item called Search 2) The Search item should have a more intuitive keyboard shortcut than Ctrl+F since Search begins with S 3) The "Find" dialog should be entitled "Search"
This does seem to be a HIG violation. The Find menu entry and the Find toolbar button should probably be "Search". The HIG implies that Ctrl+F is still the required short cut. For consistency, it might be wise to change "Find duplicates" to "Search for duplicates" too.
Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.
