463886 - Remove obsolete/unused entities in suite string files

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Vlado Valastiak [:wladow]]

With the help of 'obsolete strings finder' script used i.a. in bug 461112 and bug 463869 we can remove hundreds of unused strings from /suite to make localizer lifes easier.

I'll attach separate patches for each module for easier review and readability.

Attachment: browser part v1 (checked in)

navigator.properties:
intl.* values seem to loaded from toolkit now

region.properties:
not 100% sure about these, but mxr says they are not used

browser part v1 (checked in)

Since I'm verifying that these are obsolete, I thought I might as well comment on why they have become obsolete where possible.

>-  <menu accesskey="&helpMenuCmd.accesskey;" id="menu_Help"/>
The checkin that made these obsolete blames bug 64313?

>-<!ENTITY nothingAvailable.label "(Nothing Available)">
This got moved to navigator.properties in bug 53922.

>-<!ENTITY browserCmd.label	"New Browser Window">
>-<!ENTITY browserCmd.accesskey	"N">
This was used by the old P3P dialog.

>-<!ENTITY editFrameCmd.label "Edit Frame">
>-<!ENTITY editFrameCmd.accesskey "m">
>-<!ENTITY editFrameSetCmd.label "Edit Frameset">
>-<!ENTITY editFrameSetCmd.accesskey "t">
Presumably intended to be part of the File menu, although Composer never did get to support frames...

>-<!ENTITY translate.commandKey "t">
Possibly intended to be a shortcut key for Tools/Translate?

Added without any consumers in bug 79680?!

>-<!ENTITY webContentMenu.label "Languages and Web Content">
>-<!ENTITY webContentMenu.accesskey "l">
>-<!ENTITY downloadMore.label "Download More">
>-<!ENTITY downloadMore.accesskey "D">
Presumably obsoleted when the (now itself obsolete) Languages pref pane was created.

>-<!ENTITY searchMenu.label "Search">
>-<!ENTITY searchMenu.accesskey "S">
Presumably obsoleted by bug 25412.

>-<!ENTITY helpMenuCmd.label "Help">
>-<!ENTITY helpMenuCmd.accesskey "h">
The checkin that made these obsolete blames bug 64313?

>-<!ENTITY helpContentsCmd.label "Help Contents">
>-<!ENTITY softwareUpdatesCmd.label "Software Updates">
>-<!ENTITY technicalSupportCmd.label "Technical Support">
>-<!ENTITY releaseNotesCmd.label "Release Notes">
This predates me, but it's possible they were used by Netscape.

>-<!ENTITY internetKeyword.tooltip      "Return to previously viewed page or choose keyword">
Looks like a Ben Goodger special.

These were actually obsoleted by bug 337339 and bug 264830 but for some reason they were not removed along with other entries that did get removed.

>-general.useragent.contentlocale=US
This was used for language switching under XPFE, which had separate region and content packs.

These got moved from tabbrowser by bug 393351 (but it only patched toolkit).

Per IRC talk with wladow, I pushed this as http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/b0e600e96c4b

Comment 4

[Vlado Valastiak [:wladow]]

Attachment: common part,dtds,v1

contains:
- polish bookmarks manager entities and remove unused
- move accesskeys for menu_deleteByDomain and menu_deleteByDomain items from .dtd to .properties
- use unused accesskeys in search-editor
- other changes are just removals

Comment 5

[Vlado Valastiak [:wladow]]

And I forgot to mention: do we need bookmarksOverlay.dtd file? http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/suite/locales/en-US/chrome/common/bookmarks/bookmarksOverlay.dtd

I think we could remove it completely.

Looks unused to me too. Don't forget to fix up bookmarksOverlay.xul's DOCTYPE.

warning: 4 lines add whitespace errors (although 2 lines took away old whitespace errors).

Please don't change the history window as we will be rewriting it anyway when we convert to places history backend.

We're incidentally relying on this flex to keep the throbber to the right.

You removed the XUL for these above...

We removed that button recently :-( Shame on us.

Hmm, I'm surprised there's no bug to port the Quote button to SeaMonkey.

Now there is a bug for customisation - I wonder whether it uses this or not.

Silly me, I was thinking of the account manager, which has separate disk and offline panels depending on the type of account; preferences does not.

IIRC, I added that because Lightning depended on it, but they are currently reworking everything to not even need a toolbar (only the mailnews tabbar) any more, AFAIK.
