134922 - Naming inconsistencies

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[:deanis74]

There are naming inconsistencies between the progress dialog and the download
manager.  I would think we would want to stick with the "tried and true" labels
in the progress dialog.

Progress Dialog:  Time Left
Download Manager: Time Remaining

Progress Dialog:  Status
Download Manager: Transferred

Progress Dialog:  Time Elapsed
Download Manager: Elapsed Time

Progress Dialog:  Saving From
Download Manager: Source

(although I like "source" better than "saving from")

I agree that consistency is important. In addition to the examples below we
should rename "Show in Explorer" to "Show File Location" to be consistent with
the progress dialog. Many user will not know what Explorer means and may even
confuse it to mean Internet Explorer.

Marking nsbeta because I feel this is important to be fixed prior to 1.0/MachV

I never realized this bug existed. I filed 2 bugs before I found this

The 3 things I filed are actually getting more development than this bugs so
they shouldn't be stopped of their development

Dean, what do you want to do with

Progress Dialog:  Status
Download Manager: Transferred?

Make a new panel for Download Dialog?
Combine Speed and Transferred to Status in Download Manager?

Dean, what do you want to do with

Progress Dialog:  Status
Download Manager: Transferred?

1. Make a new panel for Download Dialog(speed and transferred and delete status)?
2. Make a new header (Combine Speed and Transferred to Status) in Download Manager?
3. Nothing

If you make a new panel for Dialog, then that makes the dialog taller. If you
make a new header for Download Manager than that wastes horizontal space.

I prefer 3 the most, and 1 second

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

Works for me in the new download manager UI in SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 1 and above.
