GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 775396
Delete Layer/Channel/Path should be consistently the last option in respective dialogs

As in summary. It would be much better for users to know immediately where to look for that "destructive" operation.
It's true that the "common buttons" (all of them, not only delete) could have a more consistent position across docks. That is: New item, duplicate item (I wonder if these 2 should not be next to each other by the way), the 2 stack reorder arrows and finally delete item.
Someone made me the same remark yesterday. I fixed the "Delete" action order. I think this along with the "New" buttons are definitely to be the rightest and leftest respectively, indeed. Not sure yet for the duplicate, raise and lower. commit f296988665a5b46e83c641ccf68c8ba300e3d0f0 Author: Jehan <jehan@girinstud.io> Date: Sun Dec 4 19:25:00 2016 +0100 Bug 775396 - Delete Layer/Channel/Path should be consistently the last... option in respective dialogs. app/widgets/gimpchanneltreeview.c | 2 +- app/widgets/gimplayertreeview.c | 2 +- app/widgets/gimpvectorstreeview.c | 6 +++--- 3 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
Delete seems to be the rightmost button in 2.8 - was this changed in the development branch?
> Delete seems to be the rightmost button in 2.8 - was this changed in the development branch? Yes I also tested 2.8 before deciding and seeing that delete was already the last button on all 3 docks reinforced the idea that's the right thing to do. For the layer dock at least, the reason is that a new button has been added ("Add a mask") and I just don't think any deep thought was put to "where should it be added?" so it just went to the end.
