47341 - View:Ccharacter Coding:More menu need to shown as spec

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P4)

Description

[Frank Tang]

We need to move the restuct the  "Character Coding" menu. The current grouping 
of ISO/Win/Mac etc should break down into logical group and under a more 
submenu. 

This is the task A1 in cata/ftang discussion. cata's estimation is
BEST:2 days/ MOSTLIKELY:3 days / WORST:5 days for all componment.

This is depend on momoi to give us the list of charset grouping and the list of 
charsets under each charset group. Both list are due 8/12.

Mark as nsbeta3+.

Do you have a design in mind?  I thought that the current PR1 hack to work
around the no scrolling menu PR1 bug, hardcoded the current categories.
If we could push the configuration to .properties files, then it'd be easy
for momoi and others to try out different scenarios by editing .properties
files in a local install.

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

The above file contains the names of 6 language groups and
their members in terms of encoding UI names.

The groups are: West European, East European, East Asian, SE & SW Asian,
                Middle Eastern, Others.

(Thanks to bobj, ftang, and amasri for comments on the proposal.)

Fixed. The work for this bug had 3 parts:
1) Move the submenus down one level
2) Change the cpp code from an ugly hack to a more decent solution
3) Place the actual charsets from the groups in prefs (they were hardcoded in 
the original hack)

It's all done now.
