Description John Arthorne CLA 2003-03-11 13:59:05 EST
Build: 2.1 RC2

The following actions have capitalization problems.  These titles are taken from
the keybindings preference page.  In some cases the casing is different where
these actions appear in menus.  "from", "with", and "to" are prepositions and so
should be lowercase.

Nick what do the Windows UI guide lines say on this (my book has disappeared).

The current casing is consistent with the Windows convention, e.g., "Open With"
Comment 3 Erich Gamma CLA 2003-03-12 13:26:51 EST
Found my Microsoft UE book.

Menus should use book title capitalization.
Book title captilization: cap italize the first letter of the and last words. 
Capitalize are words in between with the exception of articles and ... 
prepositions.

This means Open With is consistent and John is correct in that prepositions 
should not be capitalized in between.

CCing Kai since there are also bugs against text on this topic.

I am trying to verify this fix in RC3, but these actions no longer seem to
appear in the keybinding preference page.  Were they intentionally removed?
Comment 8 Andre Weinand CLA 2003-03-21 03:52:49 EST
Yes, removed since they were object contributions which don't work with keybindings 
(yet?).
However, the title casing issues were resolved for the context menu actions too.
