Description spark 2003-06-25 00:14:40 UTC 
We want the context menu to be as short as possible so users can easily see
the item they want. Items that (IMHO) should be removed are:

On Image context:
* Open Image in New Window
* Open Image in New Tab
(these are overkill, even mozilla only has "View Image")

* Use Image As Background
(if a user sets this it is reletively difficult to revert their actions,
also this function should be performed by ctrl panel, not every app that
supports images)
Comment 1 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2003-06-25 19:16:53 UTC 
I do not agree about Use image as bakcground, I think it's one of most
used IE features :) And removing it would mean to remove the feature
for most users (not many will bother to save on disk etc).

Technically we are in ui freeze now, so i'm taking off the 1.0
designation.

Unfortunately we're in UI freeze again... hope someone remembers to
check in before gnome 2.8 freeze ;)
Comment 5 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2004-01-23 06:28:45 UTC 
I was thinking about this. perhaps for images that are not linked, we
should just have a single "View Image" menu item that opens the image
in the default image viewer?
Comment 6 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2004-01-23 17:29:27 UTC 
I think removing the functionality completely is not acceptable. I'd
rather remove Copy image location that seem useful only for web design.
Dave idea is interesting though, would we use a tmp file ?

nod.

I actually have used this menu entry in the pass. Its useful when you
find a funny picture and want to send a link to someone (and the
picture isn't linked).

> design. Dave idea is interesting though, would we use a tmp file ?

well ideally if the app is gnome-vfs enabled, it would be nice to just
do it that way, otherwise tempfile or download dir perhaps.
Comment 8 spark 2004-03-29 12:01:59 UTC
