Swfdec - May 2008 - [Bug 15959] New: "Save media as" button does nothing by default

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15959

           Summary: "Save media as" button does nothing by default
           Product: swfdec
           Version: 0.6.0
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: plugin
        AssignedTo: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: mpt at myrealbox.com
         QAContact: swfdec at lists.freedesktop.org


swfdec-mozilla 0.6.0-2ubuntu1, Ubuntu 8.04

In the "Properties" window for a Flash object, there is a button
labelled "Save
media as".

There are three issues with this label:
1. Just clicking the button by itself doesn't save the media; you need to
specify the destination. Therefore the label should end in an ellipsis.
2. Button labels should use title capitalization, e.g. "Save Media
As...".
3. The "Save As?" wording is normally used only when there is a
separate
"Save" command that updates the existing file. Here there isn't
such a command,
so the "As" isn't necessary.

In conclusion, I suggest this button be labelled "Save?".

Renamed, two bugs with same title is confusing.

Personally i'd like "Save Media" or just "Save", without
ellipsis. For
comparison in openoffice.org the "Save" has no ellipsis when the
document is
new.

The ellipsis is required per HIG - see
http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/controls-buttons.html
"Save media" is reduntant, as everyone knows it's about meia only,
and not
about your children or whatever.
