| Summary | 0011246: Wrong/missing ellipsis in some menus | ||||
| Description | As we know, ellipsis are used in menus to indicate that choosing some option will open some dialog box. So, here are some options that have missing ellipsis on the end of menu item: - Auto-Tag from Web from tree popup; - Options\Edit Collection from tree popup; - Options\Manage Collections & Nodes from tree popup; - Properties from tracklist/NP/player/Art Browser popup; - Choose columns from tracklist popup for header; - Manage Collections from tracklist popup for header; - List\Save Playlist from NP popup/normal menu; - List\Load Playlist from NP popup/normal menu; - List\Options from NP normal menu; - Edit\File Properties from NP normal menu; - Copy\Burn Playlist from NP normal menu; - maybe Copy\Copy Playlist to Portable Device from NP normal menu, but I don't have attached device to check it; - Open URL or File from player popup; - Configure options from player popup; - Setup Player from player popup; - Edit Album Art Properties from player popup for album artwork; - Add Image from player popup for album artwork; - Edit Artwork Properties from Art & Details panel popup and tracklist popup for album artwork; - Add Image from Art & Details panel popup and tracklist popup for album artwork; - Choose fields from Art & Details panel popup; - Send to\CD/DVD/DB (Burn) from all popup menus; - Send to\M3U/XSPF playlist from all popup menus; - Send to\E-Mail from popup all menus; - Get Info/Buy\Options from all popup menus; - all options from File\Create Reports menu (please don't tell me its complex to add, since I have some reports in that menu with ellipsis and I know it is 10 seconds of work to add, also it is not true that "the name is within the export script itself" as you wrote in http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5709#c18244, but it is in Scripts.ini file for all names from that menu). Next, you have some options that should not have ellipsis on the end: - Send to from all popup menus; - Get Info/Buy from tracklist popup menu; - My Rating from all popup menus. Those options should not have ellipsis on the end because they have sub-menus which is indicated with the triangle on the right side of menu. AFAIK, there is no standard Windows application which uses ellipses with such menu items. For example, take a look at Send to menu in Windows Explorer that doesn't have them. Besides, your own usage of ellipsis with such menu items is inconsistent: the mentioned 3 options have ellipses, but Find More from Same doesn't have them. Why is that? | ||||

Fixed in build 1657. |

|
There are some still unfixed: - List\Options from NP normal menu; - Get Info/Buy\Options from all popup menus; - File List options from File\Create Reports menu. |
|
|
Fixed in build 1659. Test note: the export script subitems from File\Create Reports menu are fixed within default Scripts.ini file that is updated only on fresh install (also string localization for 4.1 needs to be done so that the new strings from Scripts.ini are correctly translated on language change). |

Yes, it came to my mind about fresh install when I changed the note 0037524 from "all options" to "File List options". By the way, there is one another menu item which is also missing ellipsis: - Help\About. Also, there are some buttons which should have ellipsis: - Browse for Folder\New folder; - Collection Options\Sharing; - Collection Options\Icon\Choose New; - Subscribe to new Podcast\Global Podcast Options; - Equalizer\Options; - Equalizer\Load Preset; - Equalizer\Save Preset; - Auto-Organize Files\Configure; - Extensions\Options; - Extensions\Add; - Options\Player\MinPlayer transparency; - Options\Playback Rules\Art & Details; - Options\Input/Output Plug-ins\About; - Options\Input/Output/DSP/General/Visualization Plug-ins\Configure; - Options\Auto-Organize Rule\Configure; - Options\Virtual CD & Preview\Settings; - Options\Virtual CD & Preview\Configure; - Options\Media Sharing\Add; -- Auto-Conversion\Set format; - Options\Media Sharing\Options; - Options\Media Sharing\Install as service; - Options\Portable Device Sync Configure; -- Auto-Sync (--> Library)\Add Folder; -- Options\Auto conversion\Set formats; ---- Auto-conversion rule\Customize; ---- File Locations\Configure; ---- File Locations\Add Folder; ---- Playlists\Set formats. |

By the way, I think that you should not translate strings with ellipsis, e.g. "Options...". You should have something like this: sText = SDB.Localize("Options") & "..." In that way, you don't need to translate some item if you add ellipsis to it. I suppose that ellipsis come after text in every language. Well, maybe I am wrong, I am not sure about right-aligned languages. |

Fixed in build 1660. |

Ellipsis still not added to following buttons: - Browse for Folder\New folder; - Collection Options\Sharing; - Collection Options\Icon\Choose New; - Subscribe to new Podcast\Global Podcast Options; - Options\Input/Output Plug-ins\About; - Options\Media Sharing\Options\Auto-Conversion\Set formats; - Options\Portable Device Sync\Configure\Options\Playlists\Set formats. |

Fixed in build 1662. |

Just checked and File List options from the File\Create Reports menu still don't have ellipsis. I renamed the old Scripts.ini file before the installation, so I got the new one after installing the program. |
|
|
Fixed in build 1662, there won't be need to re-install anymore. |
|
|

It is all OK with 1662. |
