GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 311474
tool tip under the copy icon shows up wrong
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:52:50 UTC
Version details: 2.3.5 Distribution/Version: SuSE 9.3 1. Move the mouse onto the copy push-button in the toolbar. It shows a tool tip saying 'Copy selected messages to another folder' But for move it is 'Move selected message(s) to another folder' The tooltip that shows up for the copy button should be changed to be similar to the tooltip for move.
The same can be observed with the folowing: 1. tooltip for the 'delete' button. It should be changed to be similar to the tooltip for 'junk' button 2. the string 'contacts' in the tooltip for print and delete buttons under contacts should be changed to 'contact(s)' 3. the string 'tasks' in the tooltip for delete button under tasks should be changed to 'task(s)'
The tool tip for the 'Forwar' button should also be chaged to 'Forward the selected message(s) to someone'.
s/Forwar/Forward
All the messages displayed in the status bar for the above items are also need to be corrected.
Few more such issues: 1.Message->Check for Junk --- Status bar message should be "Filter the selected message(s) for junk status". 2.Message->Go To->Next Thread --- Status bar message should be "Display the next thread" 3.Folder->Copy Folder To --- Status bar message should be "Copy the selected folder to another location" 4.Folder->Move Folder To --- Status bar message should be "Move the selected folder to another location".
Created attachment 52548 [details] [review] string patch for the mailer toolbar part patch for the mailer toolbar part, changes the tooltip for the toolbar items "copy", "move", "delete", "junk", "forward" to constantly use "message(s)". patch also removes unneeded tooltip strings for deprecated forwarding methods like "inline" or "quoted" (according to bug 262601). includes string changes and should go into 2.5, but not into 2.4.x. going to also send this to e-p mailing list later today.
Created attachment 52549 [details] [review] string patch for the tasks toolbar part patch for the tasks toolbar part, changes the tooltips for the toolbar items to constantly use "message(s)". includes string changes and should go into 2.5, but not into 2.4.x. going to also send this to e-p mailing list later today.
Created attachment 52551 [details] [review] string patch for the contacts toolbar and statusbar part patch for the contacts toolbar part, changes the tooltips for the toolbar items to constantly use "contact(s)". includes string changes and should go into 2.5, but not into 2.4.x. going to also send this to e-p mailing list later today. note: bug 202201 is still valid, so the tooltip about printing is a lie.
Created attachment 52552 [details] [review] string patch for the tasks toolbar and statusbar part (in my first attempt i forgot one case, marking former attempt as obsolete) patch for the tasks toolbar and statusbar, changes the tooltips and status bar messages to constantly use "task(s)". includes string changes and should go into 2.5, but not into 2.4.x. going to also send this to e-p mailing list later today.
Created attachment 52554 [details] [review] string patch for the mailer toolbar and statusbar part (in my first attempt i forgot some cases, marking former attempt as obsolete) patch for the mailer toolbar and statusbar, changes the tooltips and status bar messages to constantly use "message(s)" where meaningful. includes string changes and should go into 2.5, but not into 2.4.x. going to also send this to e-p mailing list later today.
uhm, there are still some bugs as reported in comment #5, have to take another look at this, also into calendar. therefore setting patch status to needs-work. sigh. i hate untidy code. ;-)
Created attachment 52587 [details] [review] string patch for the mailer toolbar and statusbar part patch for the mailer toolbar and statusbar, changes the tooltips and status bar messages to constantly use "message(s)" where meaningful. includes string changes and should go into 2.5, but not into 2.4.x. should be complete now. :-)
Created attachment 52588 [details] [review] the changelog patch to all this, finally :-) changelog patch for patches 52551, 52552 and 52587 :-)
updating status of attachments, i'm done here, finally. targetting to 2.5.
this isn't mailer component, but UI component. changing to Misc.
This patch works fine for me. Thanks for the work andre :) CCing srini since we would need hsi approval too.
Andre, looks fine, except a few * (s) should be avoided. IIRC there are some translation issues with this. * Lets use only 'rules' in places of 'filter rules' Apart from that its good.
srini: yeah, "(s)" should be avoided, but the tooltips cannot get ngettextized so i do not see any other possibility. always using the plural form would also definitely confuse the user. sigh... :-)
i agree. But default we should use plural or singular uniformly. I guess we already lie on plural, we shall live on that uniformly. is that ok?
srini: do what you think is right, and just tell me what to do ;-)
Andre, Let plural be the default in such cases and go ahead with that :-).
