Description Marcus Brinkmann 2010-12-07 15:34:04 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Windows CE

other mobile apps have: 

[Navigation Path (eg Home, or Folder)] -> [Context specific menu items for current navigation path]
[Other context specific menus] -> [Other items]
[AppName] -> [Quit, Minimize, New..., Search..., Work Offline, Configure, Manual, Report Bug Or Request Feature, About AppName]

In contrast to that, Kleopatra currently has the following structure:

[File] -> [New Certificate, Search certificate, import ,..., Quit]
[View] -> [Refresh]
[Certificates] -> [...]
[Tools] -> [...]
[Configuration] -> [Selftest, Configure...]

I think that a File menu is a bit of a misnomer, and I guess most of the entries in that menu (at the very least the New, Search and Quit entries) would be better in a [Kleopatra] top level menu that should also contain the Configure... item.  The selftest entry is superfluous in a mobile setting where the environment is more controlled and failing selftests are highly exceptional.  The View, Certificates and Tools menus are unproblematic.  So something like this I guess:

[View] -> ...
[Certificates] -> ...
[Tools] -> ...
[Kleopatra] -> [Quit, Minimize, New..., Search..., Work Offline, Configure, Manual, Report Bug Or Request Feature, About AppName]

Note: The Minimize entry here is translated with the german equivalent to Switch Application, and it should not be the same minimization that's done by kleopatra in server mode (which is bad on the mobile device).  Here it refers to the same function as in the other mobile apps, whatever that is.

A UI expert may have more opinions on the menu structure.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Kleopatra Mobile no longer exists and is not supported anymore.
