Version: 2.0.1 OS: Linux In the data manager the user sees strings which may be clear for a developer, but not for the average user.Since strings are visible and a pain to change once the application is translated and there are screenshots and screencasts all around the web, we should try to improve them now. I suggest the following changes: - instead of repeating "Create" everywhere and having some string ends truncated when the dialog has a reduced width, we could put a QLabel at the top above the QToolbox saying something like "Click to:" - "Create Primitive" -> "Read new data" - "Create Data Object" -> "Create derived object" - "Create Plugin" -> "Use a plugin" - "Create Fit" -> "Fit a curve" - "Create Filter" -> Filter a curve" Note: if we go for the menu reorganization suggested in bug #249799, then obviously the above needs to be considered in menu names. Reproducible: Always
[Copying Barth's comments from the mailing list:] "I think I like the new strings. Related to this is another question that several other users have asked me: why is the 'Create New...' widget even in the data manager at all? Would it be better to split the data manager and the data creator into two dialogs? Or is one, as now, just fine?" ----------------- My answers: - if you like them, let's make the changes and see how users react to it, OK? I have a couple of people I can ask around here. - why the creation widget in the data manager, should it be split out? => I also have questions from users to that. Let's say that we could probably live without them if they all get added to the "Create" menu (which by the way still needs to be done for primitives and plugins). That menu is also probably the place where people would spontaneously look for them. That being said, having a shortcut to that from the data manager is rather a good thing in my opinion. If only it wouldn't take up that much space! Could we make it collapsible, or integrate it in a menu that takes less screen real estate (esp. width)?
SVN commit 1181409 by brisset: Cartesian Render -> Cartesian Plot (the string appears in the GUI) Since other strings no longer appear in the UI (or are defined by the plugins), I am closing the corresponding bug.
