With adding new features to Sunbird like Import and Export recently the file menu and the calendar context menu got a little bit complex and inconsistent. Some commands are only offered from one of the menus or are labeled with different wording. I would like to propose some changes with the following goals: * remove unnecessary commands * group related commands together * improve and unify wording My first draft/proposal for the menus can be found at http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Ssitter:SunbirdMenuRework
I'll start working on this.

I have updated http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Ssitter:SunbirdMenuRework with the current proposal - in case someone wants to add a comment before I'm getting done with the patch.
Some comments from bug 330178 comment 9 still hold: - There should be a 'rename' option in the calendar context menu - Reload Calendars is out of place for a context menu, because it acts on more than just the selected item Otherwise, the proposal looks good.
Hi, here are my 2 cents Proposal for File menu: - There should be a separator between Export Calendar... & Publish Selection... - 'Reload Remote Calendar' should be moved into the View Menu - Do we need 'Close Window' in Sunbird? I think the answer is no, because it's not a MDI Application. Exiting an application via a 'Close Window' entry is somehow strange.
(In reply to comment #3) At the moment I want to focus on cleaning up first. Adding new functionality can be done afterwards.
This rearranges the sunbird calendar context menu for improved usability (without adding/removing functionality).

Comment on attachment 230771 [details] [diff] [review] part 1: sunbird calendar context menu, v2 The 'import' item isn't very often used. And its not clear what it imports and into what. That implies that it's better to just leave it out of the context menu. ui-review=dmose,mvl (and using the second-review flag for that)

Updated patch according to Comment #13 (removed 'Import' from context menu) for checkin. Carry over r=jminta and ui-review=dmose,mvl flags.

Comment on attachment 230772 [details] [diff] [review] part 2: sunbird file menu, v2 - <menuitem id="calendar-close" - key="key_close" - label="&calendar.menu.options.close;" - accesskey="&calendar.menu.options.close.accesskey;" - observes="close_calendar_command"/> If you're going to remove this, you should also remove the <command> and the function. One of the things I don't like about this is the publish_command and export_command become very vague. I think we need to sit down and figure out which of those should be commands and which should just be oncommand handlers of specific elements.
Target Milestone: --- → Sunbird 0.3
Comment on attachment 230772 [details] [diff] [review] part 2: sunbird file menu, v2 That patch is rotten again. Please decide on cal-ui-review and if this UI cleanup should be part of 0.3. In that case I might submitt a new patch before String Freeze.
Could you post a copy of the spec on the wiki page in this bug? (history of bugs is easier accessible then wiki history)

This is mainly just polish stuff - but also the stuff a user sees/uses all the time. I several forum/newsgroup posts from user that doesn't understand the correct meaning of some menu items or did not found e.g. the calendar export functionality hidden in context menu. Therefore i think this will help us much. Due to the l10n changes requesting blocking0.3.
