The menu items are inconsistent. I think I may have made a note of that
somewhere, as well. I've just been looking at a few other Windows
programs, to see how they handle View items that are turned on and off.
Most of them just name the item. When it's on, a check mark is placed
beside the item in the view menu. If we did this, the View Menu would be
something like:
Toolbar
Left Toolbar
------------------------
Selection Rectangle
Zoom In
Zoom Out
Zoom to Fit Page
-----------------------
Note Window
Attributes >
Some applications use a sub-menu for the Zoom options. I think there are
few enough they are fine where they are, but it might be useful to have
icons associated with them, a magnifying glass with a plus sign for zoom
in, and one with a minus sign for zoom out. This would help convey the
meaning w/o translation. There doesn't seem to be an easily recognized
icon for Zoom to Fit Page. Although, I could probably come up with
something pretty easily.
It might be helpful to have names for the two toolbars other than
Toolbar and Left Toolbar. How about Main Toolbar and Icon Toolbar?
Also, please put a check mark beside the options that are currently on.
I know, in some cases, you can just look and see it's turned on, but it
helps users if they get direct feedback on their actions.

Hi,
toggle is not wrong, but it's in deed more difficult to understand, and
also to translate.
If it's about consistency, I'd suggest to rename the first one to
"Show/Hide Selection Bubble" (or Rectangle, the Selection Bubble is not
oval but rectangular with round corners, which would be a bit too long
though ;-) ). As we already use "Bubble" in the Format menu for the same
form, perhaps we should just keep the same name, or use everywhere
"Rounded Rectangle". Bubble is fine with me, even though I've never seen
a bubble of such a form :-)
While we're at it: Menu Tools -> Preferences... -> Appearance ->
"Selected Node Buble color" ==> Buble should be with 2 B's!

Hello,
Dan has requested to change English menu items as follows:
The following menu items are named inconsistently and should be renamed as
follows:* View > Selection Bubble on/off
**NEW: Toggle Selection Oval
* View > Show/Hide Note Window
**NEW: Toggle Note Window
Because of my poor English i understand the old items, but can hardly
understand the new ones. Could some people with good English validate
the request, please.
Dimitry
