On one hand, this behaves differently than the other 3 entries in the

On the other hand, this is not something you DO with the document
(like rename or delete), but a different way of displaying it, thus I
strongly think it doesn't belong to the Actions menu, and I moderately
believe that it belongs in the Display menu.
Hi Devs,
Inspired by the newly launched W3C website, I'd like to introduce the
possibility to choose the display mode: desktop (the current UI),
print (the current print preview UI) and mobile (a 1-column,
margin-free layout). I'd like to group these options in a new action
menu entry, named DISPLAY (or VIEW) and placed between EDIT and EXPORT
(I can't find a good position, suggestions welcome). In the same menu
we can reintroduce the View Wiki Source feature (
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XSCOLIBRI-122 ).
So basically, the menu changes are:
- new DISPLAY menu, with the options: Desktop, Mobile, Print, Wiki Source
- the chosen display mode (except wiki source) is sticky, meaning that
it will continue to be used for the following page views
- Print Preview disappears from ACTIONS
To me, view code is not a display action: "view code" should look different
in desktop, mobile and print view. I'd rather have "view code" in the
"Actions" menu. About the Display option, I think that would be great.
Do you also plan on
adding an autodetect based on the user agent?
Kind of, stylesheets already have a "media" attribute that specifies
for which type of device it should be used. The display menu will just
"force" one of the stylesheets to be used, regardless of the current
media, something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all or print"
Another question: should it be called
"Display" or "View" ? "View" sounds
maybe a bit more intuitive than "Display" but I don't have a strong pow on
this.
I don't know either, but I'm slightly inclined towards "Display".
I'm +1 about a "Display" or
"View" menu entry with Desktop, Mobile and
Print.
Only potential issue is that it might make the top menu look a bit crowded.

Any objections/comments?
See my remarks above. Great idea overall.
