Bookmarks menu: 'remove' and 'rename' are ambiguous #3433
Comments
Why would anyone go to the bookmarks to rename/remove the target of a bookmark? |
That is all true, except that, in short, in a GUI it is easier than with an actual book to forget the type of thing with which one is dealing with. Hopefully this screenshot illustrates: Is 'Documents' - which one might be set to remove - a bookmark? Actually, it is a 'My Computer item' (and, thus I don't actually know whether it is a bookmark, or something like a bookmark). |
Seemingly there's been some miscommunication here. My most recent point was as follows. The user wonders about the difference between the following two types of item listed in Nemo's right-hand pane: (1) those filed under 'my computer'; (2) those filed under bookmarks. I made the foregoing point partly for its own sake - can that difference be clarified somehow/somewhere? - and in support of the following idea. It would indeed be a good idea to make more explicit, within the bookmark content menu, just what the actions in that menu will do. What is needed on that latter front is to change 'Remove' to 'Remove bookmark' and to change 'Rename' to 'Rename bookmark'. I can create a pull-request to that latter effect, but only if you are good enough to direct me towards the relevant bit of code. Thanks. Please remember that one of Mint's main goals is to be user-friendly. |
Fixed Issue, Bookmarks menu: 'remove' and 'rename' are ambiguous linuxmint#3433 This seems like a valid point and a easy fix.

Bug description
The bookmark context menu has 'remove' and 'rename'. Those labels make the user wonder: remove or rename the bookmark, or the bookmarked items themselves. Given, especially, that we have, in addition to bookmarks, 'My computer' and 'favourites', I think it important to reduce opportunities for confusion.
Steps to reproduce
Get up Nemo's bookmark context-menu.
Expected behavior
'Remove' -> 'Remove bookmark'.
'Rename' -> 'Rename bookmark'.
