Yep. I think we need to update/clarify that HIG section. Best Regards, Daniel Foré El mar 24, 2013, a las 7:47 a.m., Cassidy James escribió: > Sergey, > > That's kind of how I'm leaning. Everyone else, continue to leave feedback and > I'll revisit this thread in a bit before clarifying that

Sergey, That's kind of how I'm leaning. Everyone else, continue to leave feedback and I'll revisit this thread in a bit before clarifying that section of the HIG. On Mar 24, 2013 5:03 AM, "Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff" < ser...@elementaryos.org> wrote: > I'd use ellipsising only for items that do n

I'd use ellipsising only for items that do not instantly accomplish the advertised action. For example, "Import to library" in Noise should be ellipsised because it additionally requires the user to specify the import source. Following this logic, "Preferences" and "About" should not be ellipsised

Okay, so all our apps are buggy and should be fixed? Also, what about "About"? 2013/3/24 Julien Spautz > Actually, the HIG says we should use ellipses for preferences: > > · Is performed in a new window or dialog. For example, Preferences, Report > a Problem, and Customize Toolbar all use ellip

Hey guys, I've notices Noise doesn't use ellipsising for AppMenu items at all: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5279564/noise-appmenu.png "Import to Library" requires further input from the user but it doesn't have an ellipsis. I believe this is a bug? I've looked at how other apps use ellipsising and it
