I think that is a bit too clear cut to be useful guideline, you rather want the action to be described as _accurately_ as possible (so if it is a specific action, it will say so and not be confused with general ones). > Eg, for label text, having > "Run executable text files when they are opened" > instead of > "Run executable text files when they are > double-clicked" > -- because a user might open a file with the menu > command, or with the Return key, or Ctrl+O. Agreeing with this one, but... > (BTW, the actual label says "Run executable text files > when they are clicked". I've filed a bug.) ...this is valid in my case (I don't use double-click anywhere where I can avoid it). -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi
