Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: User interface Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Alan Horkan (horkana) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: better name for untitled documents Initial Comment: I think it would be better to name documents something like "Animation 1" or "Project 1" rather than using the uninformative "Untitled1". (There lack of a space between the word untitled and the number is what intially drew my eye to this minor problem.) The idea being that even "Untitled" is a title and a not particularly useful title if found on a document in folder full of other similarly Untitled documents. Not sure if you are familiar with the software Dia a GTK application for drawing diagrams but there I made a suggestion to change the default document name to from "Untitled" to "Drawing" A patch is better than no patch but the very simple patch I've provided changes the word "Untitled" to "Animation " and is only really intended to make my suggestion clearer. It is entirely possible that there might be better choices than Animation, perhaps Drawing/Project/Movie (although Movie is a bit too American for my liking) but I do hope you will consider making this small change.

Good one. :) Ulrik pointed out to me recently that if you save a document using the default name (which you're more likely to do now that it's put into the file selector as the default when saving), then every time you save the document from then on, it shows the file selector. It does this for any document whose name begins "Synfig Animation". (This isn't new - it used to do the same if the name began "untitled", but that was less common I suppose). So that was the benefit of using an ugly name - it persuaded the user to think of a better name immediately, rather than settling for the meaningless default name. A better fix would be to make a note when a document is created that the filename was automatically generated and that the user hasn't OK'ed it yet, and to clear that mark the first time he does, so the 'save as' dialog only appears once per document. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Alan Horkan (horkana) Date: 2007-09-18 15:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=402612 Originator: YES thanks dooglus, your attention to detial is much appreciated ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: dooglus (dooglus) Date: 2007-09-18 15:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1546005 Originator: NO Thanks for the report. I just implemented this in svn r708. I used 'Synfig Animation' as the default name, and got the file selector dialog to default to that name when saving for the first time. Also, the count starts at 1 now, not zero. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=757419&aid=1741236&group_id=144022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
