Review options dialog tooltips and some labels. #127

Closed step- closed 8 years ago

step- commented 8 years ago

Hi, I tried to improve tooltips (and some labels) of the options dialog without making text longer or more complicated. What do you think?

jun7 commented 8 years ago

Thank you.

There are two corrections.

create_sub_dir_thumbs: This process picks a thumb from sub-dir without rox's order. e.g. If you made 0100.png and 1.png, the process picks 0100.png. Also sort options do not effect. The description describes solution of these cases.

auto_move: This option is not for pointer warp. This option is for window managers haven't window move. the pointer thing is just a collateral. In random english: most window managers handle window move better than rox, so you can off this option but if this is off, poiter warp in window move is disabled because the pointer warp uses window move's data.

If you think these corrections are OK, I will update my pull request with them.

create_sub_dir_thumbs

When there are no thumbnails for a sub-directory, this process tries to create (max 999) thumbnails then chooses an unsorted thumbnail for display. If you don't like the choice, you can middle-click the rescan button in the toolbar to re-create sorted thumbnails.

original

When there is no thumbs in a sub dir, this process tries to create all(or 999) thumbs in the dir. If this picked a wrong thumb, re-creating thumbs in the sub dir wills solve it. Re-creating file thumbs is assigned middle click on the scan button.

auto_move

Enable this If your window manager does not handle window move well. When this is off, pointer warp on auto-move is disabled.

original

Normaly window managers handle window move. If this is off, the pointer warp on the auto-move is disabled too.

create_sub_dir_thumbs: You have to move to the sub directory and 'Scan' button doesn't sort items but only choose first item in the sub-dir. On parent dir, Scan button doesn't use rox's sort but uses own sort. So it is not 'unsorted thumbnail'. And this process is not only for sub dir thumbs, it also intended to make thumbs at ones. So I suspect 'for a sub-directory'.

auto_move: auto_move is enabled by default, and pointer warp on auto-move is very important. So 'Enable this if' is wrong.

create_sub_dir_thumbs

When no items in a sub-directory have a thumbnail, this process tries to create (max 999) thumbnails then chooses one for display. If you don't like the choice, visit the sub-directory and middle-click the rescan button in the toolbar to choose the first item.

auto_move

I think it's better to also change the label.

New label: Take control of window move on auto-resize

New tool tip: When this is on rox, rather than the window manager, handles window move. When this is off, pointer warp on auto-move is disabled.

original

Old label: Override control of the auto-move on the auto-resize

Old tool tip: Normaly window managers handle window move. If this is off, the pointer warp on the auto-move is disabled too.

Only one correction. 'Rescan' is renamed to 'Scan' because it was too long. Thank you!
