Description Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-12-03 14:46:57 UTC 
The View / Preview menu entries in Mailer and Address Book should be uniform.
There is no reason to confuse the user by using generic ones. The same thingy in
differenc components should be as uniform as possible.

"View / Preview Pane" in all components would be a possibility.

This used to be consistentent in 2.2.
Comment 1 Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-12-05 15:29:30 UTC 
OK, changing this bug and the Summary. The menu items do not necessarily need to
be the same, they just need to be named consistently.

According to bug #227853 (see comment 31) and bug #262330 I propose a consistent
naming:

 Message Preview
 Contact Preview
 Task Preview

Please note there is *no* plural form here. It's one Message, one Contact and
one Task that will be shown. It is not "Tasks".

Please also note that this actually is not a *pre*view. At least wrt to mails.
It *is* the mail itself...
Comment 2 André Klapper 2005-12-05 15:34:06 UTC 
now confirming.
Comment 3 Srinivasa Ragavan 2005-12-13 16:54:10 UTC 
If im not wrong it is like this only in head. I just forgot did i fixed it in
2.4.x or 2.5.x.
Comment 4 Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-12-13 19:04:54 UTC 
Like *what*? The Tasks don't have a toggle-able View Pane in 2.4, and the
namings are (or at least where) inconsistent in 2.4 and 2.5. This is how it is
in 2.4:

 Mail:     View / Message Preview  Ctrl-M
 Contacts: View / Preview Pane     Ctrl-grave

See comment #1 for proposed consistent namings. It was not like that neither in
2.4 nor in 2.5
Comment 5 André Klapper 2005-12-13 19:16:09 UTC 
2.5.2 rpm dated 20051117:

mail:      "message preview"
contacts:  "contact preview"
tasks:     "task preview"
calendar:  /* preview does not exist */
memo:      /* can't disable preview pane => BUG? */
Comment 6 Karsten Bräckelmann 2005-12-13 19:26:05 UTC 
Thanks Andre. So either this one was already fixed in HEAD recently, or it
simply was implemented slightly different than mentioned in that other bug...

Whatever, looks good. :)  Closing RESOLVED FIXED.

Even the mnemonics are set to "p" consistently. :)
