Description Og Maciel 2007-03-26 21:04:01 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The problem resides in the interfaces.cpp module, in the OpenFiles method/action.  The behavior for this method/action is to display a list of all the files that have been opened by a given process.  The caption should be changed from "Open Files" to "Opened Files".  Though this may seem to be minor in English, it causes mis-translations in other languages.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the System Monitor app;
2. Choose the Processes tab;
3. Right click on any process and choose "Open Files" from the context menu


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Minor tweak

If accepted we may consider change the method names as well, but that is not important.

NAME
       lsof - list open files

I don't know.
Comment 3 Jared Moore 2008-01-25 06:30:17 UTC 
"Open files" and "Opened files" mean practically the same thing, the difference being that "Open files" implies that the files are still open _right now_. What are the translation problems? Perhaps this could be best fixed with a translator comment?

(FWIW English is my native language)
Comment 4 Benoît Dejean 2008-01-25 11:05:36 UTC 
This dialog is about files that are currently open by the selected process. For example, if you look at a text editor, it would probably show the files that you are editing.
Comment 5 Jared Moore 2008-02-02 09:51:30 UTC 
Yeah, I know. What I'm saying is that "Open files" is more correct than "Opened files", so changing that string isn't a solution.

Add translator comment

Instead of changing the string, add a translator comment.
