New subject: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal][UI] Top menu refactoring

11 Oct 2007

Bookmarks/favourites - what a good idea! Perhaps with a favorites left hand
flyout menu tree? Although you always have your browser bookmarks/favourites
but this means you'd have access to your favourites independent of the PC or
browser you were using.

  Hi,

 I've just reviewed this last proposal and here are my comments:

 * I'm -1 on naming the menu entry "File" unless someone convinces
 me... Right now I don't understand the rationale. Why not call it
 "Orange Juice"? ;) 
I'm -1 for "File" too, "Page seems more appropriate"

...
  * I hate those Microsoft menu entries! ;) 
Ok so let's talk about mozilla menu entries then ;)

...
  * Don't put CTRL+P in the menu (since the keys are
different
 depending on the OS) 
Ok

...
  * Edit menu should be on the left since it's the
most used menu 
I was waiting for someone to raise this one, I'm testing the proposal
3 on my local xwiki and I confirm that it's annoying for people
accustomed to the edit at the left.

...
  * Not sure why we're changing "Show" to
"View". Show looks fine to me
 and since it's been around for some time why change it? 
This proposal was an attempt of a more desktopish layout.
(Page/Edit/View). BTW i never liked "Show" ;)

...
  * I don't like the Watchlist menu entry. This is a
very specific
 application and I'm not sure why it gets its own menu entry compared
 to other applications. 
Page/Edit/View wait for it.. Bookmarks -> File/Edit/View/Watchlist
(since bookmark doesn't fit here).

...
  * I'd be fine with keeping the current Edit and
Show menus and
 collapse the Delete, Rename and other actions into an "Actions" menu
 (or "Other actions") 
-1 for the hodge-podge until we had discussed all the other options ;)

JV.
