--- Comment #1 from Raphaël Jakse <[email protected]> --- I just noticed that the English label for the "recently open" menu in the "File" menu is actually "Open Recent", translated to "Récemment ouvert(s)" in French, which means "Recently open", which is more precise. This might be an issue to implement the "Recently Closed" menu: - The expression "Open Recent" might as well apply to recently closed file, so this could be confusing - An hypothetical menu "Recently closed" item next to "Open Recent" might look weird: differently worded for similar things, not very symmetrical. We could have "Open Recent" and "Open Recently closed" but that looks asymmetrical. (A) We could rename "Open Recent" to "Open Recently open(ed)" (don't know which one is more correct), but that looks very redundant. (B) We could rename "Open Recent" to "Recently open(ed)" (C), but then: - it is a "breaking" change - we lose the fact that the menu is written with a leading action verb - it's at odd with the nearby items beginning with "Open" -- though that never stroke me in the French version that already has this issue Or we could make the "Recently closed" as a submenu of "Open Recent" (D). That would make sense to me and would avoid cluttering the "File" menu. The vagueness of "Open Recent" would still allow it to be be accurate without rephrasing it. We'd have something weird in the French translation where "Recently closed" would be in the "Recently open" menu, but meh. Maybe we could rephrase this. Though the current phrasing is probably a compromise: it's just hard to translate "Open Recent" in a straightforward manner. I don't know how the English phrasing feels but in French that would be weird i guess. Recently closed files are still somewhat also recently open files anyway, so, that may work. My preference would be (C) or (D), and probably actually (D) more than (C). What do you think? Does the feature make sense / is it desirable anyway? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
