Sunbird Menu Rework

With adding new features to Sunbird like Import and Export the File menu and the Calendar context menu got a little bit complex and inconsistent. Some commands are only offered from one of the menus or are labeled with different wording. (bug 327912)

I would like to propose some changes with the following goals:

• remove unnecessary commands
• group related commands together
• improve and unify wording

Proposal for File menu

Current

Proposal

---------------------------------- New Event... New Task... New Journal Item... New Calendar File... Open Calendar File... Edit Selection... Close Window ---------------------------------- Subscribe to Remote Calendar... Reload Remote Calendars ---------------------------------- Import... Export Selection... Mail Selection... Publish... ---------------------------------- Page Setup... Print... ---------------------------------- Quit ----------------------------------

---------------------------------- New Event... New Task... New Calendar... Open Calendar File... Subscribe to Remote Calendar... ---------------------------------- Import... Export Selection... Export Calendar... ---------------------------------- Publish Selection... Publish Calendar... ---------------------------------- Reload Remote Calendars ---------------------------------- Page Setup... Print... ---------------------------------- Quit | Exit ----------------------------------

• Removed currently not working entries 'New Journal Item' and 'Mail Selection'
• I think 'Edit Selection...' does not belong to File menu. If we need an entry for this I would suggest putting it in the Edit menu.
• Does 'Reload Remote Calendars' belong into File menu? Where could be a better place?
• Do we need 'Close Window' in Sunbird?
  • I doubt. --Keria 06:40, 12 Mar 2006 (PST)
• mac and unix systems use 'Quit', windows use 'Exit'

Proposal for "Calendar tab" context menu

Current	Proposal
---------------------------------- New Calendar Edit Calendar Delete Calendar Reload Remote Calendars Publish Entire Calendar Import into... Export Calendar ----------------------------------	---------------------------------- New Calendar... Delete Calendar ---------------------------------- Export Calendar... Publish Calendar... ---------------------------------- Reload Remote Calendars ---------------------------------- Properties ----------------------------------

• Changed "Edit..." option to "Properties" and put it to the last place.
• I would consider removing the "Reload" option as it is usually exeuted only very few times. There should be an option somewhere to reload remote calendars (and it should be possible to reload calendars one by one!), but I think that this is no need including it in the context menu.
