Hello,
This is summary of short discussion on kde-usability about context menus
for links and images as links.
Disclaimer: I _know_ about feature/string freeze and understand it won't
be applied instantly but I hope it will be introduced for 3.3
Looks like last round of 'Context Menu Wars' brought cleaning not in all
aspects. One of the remaining elements are RMB menus on links:
I.
link
Currently:
Open in new window
Open in new tab
Bookmark this link
Save link as...
Copy link location
Open with
Preview in Embedded text editor
Actions
View document source
Now discuss points:
Open in new window - OK
Open in new tab - OK
Bookmark this link - OK
Save link as... - not OK
Copy link location - not OK
*Where and what* copy? After experiment I discovered it is link href
value copied to clipboard. And here we are 1st problem:
Save link as... copies *target* not link as it is understood in
this point.
2nd problem: where copy? Here probably I am looking issues where
they don't exist but still... I am proposing changing names of these
two points to respectively:
Save target as...
Copy link to clipboard (we don't have to use location to
differentiate with previous point)
Open with
Open *what*?
Open target with
Preview in ...
Preview *what*?
Preview target in
Actions
Actions on *what*?
Actions (target)
View Document Source - unnecessary action, doesn't apply to link. This
is _link_ context menu. (can be removed from 3.2?)
After those corrections link context menu:
Open in new window
Open in new tab
Bookmark this link
Save target as...
Copy link to clipboard
Open target with
Preview target in Embedded text editor
Actions (target)
There is additional problem with 'Copy/Move To >' thing. This is
external plug-in and I understand there is no way to remove it from
menus. But maybe is possible to provide way to make this names also
contextual? Eg. in .desktop files (easier to modify?).
II.
Image and link in one
Current state:
Open in new window
Open in new tab
Bookmark this link
Save link as...
Copy link location
Open with
Preview in Embedded text editor
Actions
Save Image As...
Send Image
Copy Image Location
View Image (interviews.gif)
View document source
Up to this point all previous comments apply. Here are image elements:
Save Image As... - OK
Send Image - OK
Copy Image Location - location in image context has more sense than
in link context, but:
Copy Image Location to clipboard
View Image (interviews.gif)
Maybe 'Open Image' would be better?
Please add:
'Image Properties (interviews.gif)
+ in familiar properties window add Web informations tab with:
values of img tag attributes: title, alt, width, height. It
should apply also to 'normal' images.
And drop 'View document source'.
After correction:
Open in new window
Open in new tab
Bookmark this link
Save target as...
Copy link to clipboard
Open target with
Preview target in Embedded text editor
Actions (target)
Save Image As...
Send Image
Copy Image Location
View Image (interviews.gif)
Image Properties
