[Fwd: HIG (old): "Fit to Page", Fit to Page Width", & "Fit to Page Height"]

[James Richard Tyrer]

Is this the: "coordination" department?? :-)

I am having culture gap problems again.  Perhaps it is because I am used
to the idea of working for someone.

I figure that there is (or should be) someplace I should be able to ask
these questions and get an authoritative answer so that I wouldn't waste
my time doing something wrong.  Or, worse yet submit a patch to fix
stuff that still has it wrong.

My project is to add my icons and fix these two apps so that they
conform to the current menu guidelines.  This is an incremental project
and I am not going to get it all done with the first patch, but every
small improvement is an improvement and a small step towards getting it
correct.

These also appear to be KDE Standard Actions.

They are covered here:

http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/menus/view.html

I have two questions:

1.	Exactly what are these supposed to do?  That is, KView and the KView
Part have the menu item: "Fit Image to Window".  Is that the same thing?
  I don't think that this (Fit to Page) is the best string but I notice
that this is being addressed in the new HIG, that is, if it is the same
as: "Zoom Whole Page".  Still sounds a bit awkward when referring to an
image.  Perhaps even if using the Standard Action, the string should be
changed for image applications.  Or, would:

	Fit to Window
	Fit to Window Width
	Fit to Window Height

or:

	Zoom to Window
	Zoom Width to Window
	Zoom Height to Window

be better?  Just my $0.02 input as a native US English speaker. :-)

2.	Should the new icons that I am making be used for these three
Standard Actions.

	Fit to Page		view_fit_window.png
	Fit to Page Width	view_fit_width.png
	Fit to Page Height	view_fit_height.png
