Bug 2256

Description Kevin McGuire 2001-10-10 22:32:12 EDT

Isn't "Go Into" redundant with "Go To"->"Forward"?

- It appears the only difference is that one works on the selected object and the other remembers what the last "Go Into" was on.
- There is no icon for "Go Into", just for "Go Forward"
- It seems a waste of a popup menu entry to have both "Go Into" and "Go To".
For larger "products" the navigator menu could get long, and "Go Into" is an infrequent operation also supported by toolbar icons.

Q: What's the difference between "Back" and "Up"?  The tooltips are unhelpful.

	Go Into is not the same as Forward.   Up and Back are also different.
	Go Into changes the input to the current selection.  
	Forward goes forward in the history (opposite of Back).
	Up changes the input to be the parent of the current input (independent of the selection), 
	adding to the history rather than going back in the history.
	Back, Forward and Up work similarly to Explorer.

	There's no icon for Go Into, because I felt that toolbar icons should apply to the whole view, independent of the selection.
	Go Into and Go To are separate entries because I didn't want the user to have to select Go To, then Into.
	I agree Back and Forward will likely not be used from the menu often, but they are there for completeness.
	The Go To menu would have to be there anyway, for Go To / Resource.
