GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 360650
Move Music->Close menu item to View->Hide Window
Last modified: 2009-12-28 05:05:33 UTC
The Music->Close menu item is, simply, wrong: see HIG (http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/menus-standard.html) for the proper usage of Close menu item. GNOME users expect this behavior. So IMHO is better move this feature in View menu, renaming as "Hide Window"
Created attachment 74291 [details] [review] A simple patch to fix this bug The patch change the GtkAction name from MusicClose to MusicHide and place it under View menu using "_Hide Window" as label. I suspect we should also update documentation after applying this patch. PS OK to commit?
Adding HIG keyword.

I think that the Music -> Close menu item should do the same thing as the close button on the window frame. If the minimize to tray plugin is active, the menu item should minimize the window to the tray. If the plugin isn't active, the close menu should close the window and quit Rhythmbox. Having two different behaviors for two ui elements labeled 'close window' causes confusion. For example, some people claim that rhythmbox minimizes to the tray when the window is closed, while others claim that it doesn't. Both groups are correct because there are two distinct actions labeled 'close window'.
I believe our usage of the 'close' menu item is now correct.
