GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 85657
[doc] Desktop icon context menu fixes need documentation
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The following issues came out of the recent ui-review and are recommended for fixing prior to GNOME 2.0.1: - All menu items need mnemonics - "New Folder" icon ought to be a folder, not a document
Calum i have included the complete ui review in bug 82707. Also note i want to change new folder to create folder, to differentiate it from actions like new window and new terminal (i actually feel neither of these should be in the context menu as they do not perform any actions on the current window, but thats a whole different issue) what do you think???
Adding keywords to all ui-review bugs in one mass change, sorry for the spam. It would be very nice if the folks doing UI review stuff would be sure to add 'PATCH' to the bugs that have those. I'm (tentatively) not marking these 'high' but the release team [having gotten approval from the docs and i18n people] would like to see these in ASAP on the 2.0.1 branches, so that i18n folks can start translating at their convenience.

I committed a change to add mnemonics to the popup menus. Are you sure a folder is a good idea for a New Folder item? Isn't a folder generally used to represent Open?
[Search for 'luis spamming' to catch every instance of this email.] In order to better track Sun's bugs for Sun and Ximian's internal use, I've added a temporary keyword to some bugs. I apologize for the spam, and for the use of an additional keyword, but this is the best way for Sun to track 'it's' bugs without interfering with the community's own triage and bug behavior. If you have any questions or objections, please drop me a note at louie@ximian.com or email bugmaster@gnome.org for more open discussion.
Hmm, you do have a point about the folder, or at least one that's as valid as the point about the document normally meaning "new document" anyway :) Perhaps the "New Folder" menu item just shouldn't have an icon at all, then...?
I think I agree with that. I'll commit a change along with some of the other menu stuff today.
This is committed. Please do to this bug whatever you ui people do to bugs that are fixed. :)
We leave them open until the docs guys have told us they've updated their docs to reflect the change :)
We mark them down from urgent and cc: jfleck :)
User Guide docs updated to reflect this change.
