Hello, I'm pretty much convinced by JV's ideas on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/RefactorActionMenu. I would however propose the following minor changes : * With the space we gained from "rename" and "copy", I think we can afford a whole "Whatch" menu item, that will contain "Watch this page", "Watch this space" and possibly "Watch settings..." for administrators. (And by the way, it allow, if the notification feature is disabled for some reason on a wiki, not to impact other menu lists - but I don't know if this disable notification feature will be) * I like the "Access Right" in the "Edit" menu, but that's maybe juste me :) Jérôme.

I'd also move the Print menu inside the Page menu as "Print this
page"
Print should be kept as print. Whether it's a "view" or not, "Print" makes sense to users, and a print to PDF vs. print preview is very natural. Changing "Print" to "Export" or "Show" only makes sense to we programmers.
Would agree if the print link was like all the print buttons we see everywhere, a javascript call to the navigator print action, which is not the case.
(disclosure : i'm -1 for having this link, don't see where it can be useful when in the end you'll have to go to File>Print to actually print).
Other export could go under the "Page" menu, though I don't particularly like that as a menu header.. "Page Actions" or just "Actions". I know the "More Actions" was a hodge-podge, but it was a nice hodge-podge, and a lot of users found that pretty obvious to use. I called the "More Actions" hodge-podge "Admin" in my new skin because it was more "Admin-ish" kinds of actions, where the edit/show/add/print actions were classified appropriately.
Hope this thread won't end up in a hodge-podge VS. anti-hodge-podge fight :) I still hope we can find a solution to avoid a hodge-podge in the action menu.
(but if we have to have one I'd call it "Actions")
Also, having rename and delete under "Admin" kept them in an intuitive location, while at the same time making it less likely that they would be accidentally clicked.
Reminder : it'd be great if we can all forget about having an Admin entry in the action menu, we'll see that later.
If it becomes a "Page Actions" ("Page" by itself just seems wrong, but I don't like "Page Actions" either), then having Copy, Rename, Delete, and Access rights all under that make sense.
Yep, if it becomes a "Page Actions".
I don't think "Watch this space" or "Watch this page" need to be anywhere in particular. Most of the modern browsers find any RSS feed links on the page w/o intervention, and I've always found that a more obvious link (in a panel, for example) is more effective than tucking the "Watch" URL's in one of those menus.. Unless "Watch" means something other than I think it does.
The watch feature isn't about RSS, it's about building a list of pages you want to watch and receive notifications about (both email & RSS), I'll write about that later. _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
