Description Alex 2010-07-12 21:59:48 UTC

Version:           4.4 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

keep window-previews at the desktop-effects settings has an option "always (prevents minimizing)" or something like this in english translated "Immer (verhindert minimieren)".

this sounds like it prevents minimization of windows, not of used RAM and is somehow misleading. a better translation would be "verhindert Resourcen-Minimierung" or something like that.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2010-07-13 15:52:15 UTC

The original meaning is that applications do no longer get the "minimization" (window hide/unmap) event. Applications that (for whatever reason), need this event, will break (the english original has "break", not "prevent").

Comment 3 Alex 2010-07-13 16:19:37 UTC

ah, okay, seems like the original string isn't that great, either?

but the current german string seems like you cannot minimize windows, not like the windows do not notice the minimization. maybe it's better to put the hint only in the help-tooltip (with a longer explanation, what is meant by minimizing and why applications may want to get the event)?
