Rephrase "New window" vs. "New Tab" vs. "New terminal"
Submitted by lig..@...au.dk
Description
Package: gnome-terminal Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.0.1 2.0.1 Synopsis: UI: Bad wording in right-click menu Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal Bugzilla-Component: general Description: Description of Problem: I found this usability problem.
When right-clicking in the gnome terminal window (or choosing 'File') it gives you the possibility to chose a 'New window' - but I get a new terminal! [1]
Right-clicking a Nautilus-drawn desktop it (rightfully) offers you a menu choice of 'New Terminal', but also 'New Window'.
SOLUTION: My suggestion to a solution would be to change the wording in the terminal right-click menu to 'New Terminal' since that is what the user wants/expects and since it would make sense with respect to Nautilus.
[1] One might ask if the Nautilus right-click menu should not also have another wording than 'New Window' for a new Nautilus window... maybe, but I can not find anything better.
WHAT IS GAINED? As I see it two things
- Consistency across applications, since the 'New Terminal' menu entry always gives you the same.
- Removes the problem that the 'New Window' menu entry at present is at the top of both the terminal and Nautilus menus making it harder for a user to distinguish the two menus without becoming aware of other menu entries that seperate the two menus.
