The labeling Keep to PDF - maybe as it is grouped under the keep button you only need to label it Postscript (PDF), as the Write activity is doing as well? lol :-) To keep it similar to Write I had been using Portable Document Format (PDF) as the string but thought it too ungainly, I'd just taken it out prior to release: http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/labyrinth/repos/mainline/commits/84c9f787d5490cc1fdfeae2a5ccd5ca57b1c2c96 But your right, I just had a trigger finger on that change. I have a bunch more export formats to add in an upcoming release (PNG, JPG) so that menu will get larger anyway. I'll revert. :-) I know I keep nagging about this, but at some point in the future I hope we'll finally have menu section labels. I think the proper way to handle export to various formats is to have a Keep as section label, with one or more menu items in the format document format (extension). So, in general I like Keep as better than Keep to (I think this reads more naturally, and nods to the functinoality of a save as operation on other desktops), and I think that spelling out the format is a Good Thing, even if it's a little long in some cases, since it's in the secondary menu anyway. This makes it much nicer for many formats just as Plain text (TXT), Rich Text (RTF), etc. I think showing the extension in paren is a nice clarifier, and should be used unless it's used within the format string because it's the canonical way to refer to that format, , as in PNG Image, JPEG Image, perhaps. It sounds like there should be a HIG section on this topic... Anyway, I think Portable Document Format (PDF) might be best, myself. Eben What I find a bit hard to find out from the interface is to use the right mouse click to move an item, or the windows-key+left mouse click to pan in the image. Hard to expose this as a button in the interface. Yes... Tell me about it... It's been a real fix'er'upper as far as the original GNOME Labyrinth UI 'design' (I use that word speculatively). Lot's of things I'd like to improve, but lots of spaghetti... Maybe it could be mentioned in the first 'click to add a first thought'-bubble that there is more info on the wiki? I set-up that 'click to add a first thought'-bubble to be part of a multi step help hint to get you going, the intent was once you added your first thought, you'd get some new help hint message telling you a few more tricks. Good idea, bad idea? Thanks for the test and feedback!

PS and PDF are two totally different formats from the user point of view. Where in Write we have the label Postscript (PDF)? Regards, Tomeu Of course mixing pdf and postscript was not right from my side. Maybe someone has a better labeling here.
