181148 - References to "Sidebar" should be changed to "Drawer"

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: Bookmarks, defect)

Description

[S Woodside]

"Drawer" is the name for that thing that slides out, not sidebar. Request that
all instances of the word "Sidebar" in the UI be changed to "Drawer" (view menu,
sidebar button in the toolbar).

Not necessarily true. For example, Apple Mail calls its' drawer Mailboxes on the
toolbar, while it has a "Show Drawer" menu item. Though the *type* of UI widget
is definitely drawer, it doesn't have to be called that. If we want to call it
Sidebar, I think it's okay.

I think Simon is right and it will become more true when the Drawer will be able
to show the Bookmark or the History, I mean we can not call it "Boomarks" or
"History".
Using "Sidebar" as a new name has no advantage at all, it's just another name
for drawer, it does not add any information.
"Mailboxes" on the contrary cleary explain what it is.

And using Drawer will also ease the translations, it's already known by everyone.
No need to invent a new name, that later might perhaps enter in conflict with
another "Sidebar translation" that has been used for "Sidebar".

resolving INVALID as there shouldn't be references to either anymore
