GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323951
Menu item HIGification in mailer component
Last modified: 2005-12-13 19:52:53 UTC
From the GNOME HIG: "Command items are menu items that initiate a command or perform an action, such as Save, Print or Quit. They may act on the currently active document in a document based application, or on the application itself." ... "Label the menu item with a trailing ellipsis ("...") only if the command requires further input from the user before it can be performed. Do not add an ellipsis to items that only present a confirmation dialog (such as Delete), or that do not require further input (such as Properties, Preferences or About)." (see http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-design.html#menu-grouping Based on the above, I think the following items in the mailer should have trailing ellipsis characters: Message -> Compose New Message Post New Message to Folder Reply Post a Reply Reply to Sender Reply to List Forward Redirect Move to Folder Copy to Folder (this is with 2.5.2)
