From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040518 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: The rhythmbox menu entry is not GNOME HIG compliant. Please change it to: Rhythmbox Music Player or something like that. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-0.8.4-1 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Additional info:
Relevant: Gnome Icons, Gnome/KDE Menus need improvement on fedora-devel
Using a purely descriptive name is HIG compliant.
No it is not. The HIG is here: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/draft_hig_new/desktop-integration.html#menu-item-names ..and as you can see, this is not true. The proper name would be: Rhythmbox Music Player. The reason for this is that I have 10 music players installed, and I don't think rhythmbox should reserve the title of THE MUSIC PLAYER for itself. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
This is fixed upstream in the 0.9 branch, will be in the 0.10 release.
To add to this, if the Rhythmbox Music Player becomes the accepted as the standard GNOME music player then it does reserve the right of the title MUSIC PLAYER as it has become the GNOME Music Player. Upon this acceptance the upstream name should change to reflect this. Having 10 music players is ridiculous and there's no reason to try to make all of GNOME (or each app) bend to this kind of edge use case. Two of the same application is about all any system needs, if otherwise I suspect that each of those applications have design issues that require you to have so many of them.
