[Bug 259863] New: Rename Edit menu to Select menu in import tool

           Summary: Rename Edit menu to Select menu in import tool
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.6.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.6.0 (using KDE 4.5.85)
OS:                Linux

In the import tool, there are 6 menu items: Device, Edit, Image, View,
Settings, and Help.  Most of these make sense.  The Image menu, for instance,
controls various image tasks.

The exception is the Edit menu.  This menu has nothing whatsoever to do with
editing.  All of the options in this menu are about controlling which images
are selected.  I think it would be much more logical, and make it much easier
for people to find what they are looking for, if the "Edit" menu renamed to
"Select".

Reproducible: Always

A relayout of the main menus is planned, see discussion "Cleaning up the main
toolbar" from Nov 17th on digikam-devel.

However, the "Select All" by convention goes to the "Edit" menu, so that's not
going to change.

For normal menus, I would agree.  But the menu there is already very different
than standard KDE menus.  For instance both the Device and Image menus have
elements that are normally associated with the File menu, which doesn't exist
at all.  So the current menu is already very different than standard KDE menus,
and violates KDE conventions on menus.

Further, although Select All is a normal component of Edit menus, none of the
other entries are.  I don't think an Edit menu is the first place people many
will look for "Select New Items", for example (it certainly isn't the first
place I look).

Considering the Edit menu has no actions that actually have anything to do with
editing, and only has elements dealing with selections, I think it is
reasonable doing the same thing you do with the Device and Image menus and give
it a name that reflects the commands it contains.  It is inconsistent with the
other menus in the tool, which are descriptive of the tasks they are used to
accomplish.

I not agree. Edit/ select is used everywhere in application. We must still
homogenous

Of course, currently there are only Select action, but in the future Edit/Copy
will appear (i wait to port icon-view to Qt4 Model/view for that)
