Extra ellipsis on the "Delete folder" menu

Extra ellipsis on the "Delete folder" menu

Hi! Just a small thing I noticed.

When you right click an empty folder, the menu says "Delete Folder...", but in German it says "Ordner löschen......"
The ellipses don't seem to be part of the text I can translate in Localizer

I have translated the text to Danish, so it should be in there somewhere. I would have a look, but it seems like there are some issues with logging on to Localizer.

And now I got access..

In UI ressources, try looking at mnuDeleteConnection_GroupMultiSelect

Thanks!

mnuDeleteConnection_GroupMultiSelect is the one that pops up if the folder contains entries

mnuDeleteConnection is the one I was looking at, but the text does not contain the ellipsis, so I can't remove it. It must be double added in the code somewhere

Ah, now I see the problem. I see it now when I do it on an empty folder. My translation (in Localizer) actually had the three dots mening that the original text must have had it at some point, but after removing I'm down to three dots in RDM.

It is weird that the three dots are not part of the text as it is so many other places. I guess it's something new(?) where RDM automatically will insert the three dots on entries that opens up some kind of dialog. Just a wild guess.

So, either RDM should not try to insert three dots everywhere or RDM should insert them everywhere.

I would suggest that you make a modification to the field (eg. adding a 1 at the end), save and deploy and then modify it back to the correct (with no dots) and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks for confirming! What you're saying makes sense. But I'll not mess with this anymore... just wanted to let the Devo Devs know.

Hello,

We began removing the "..." from our resources for several reasons (for one, because it created duplicate resources with the same text, and ultimately only served to add more work for translators). I'll have a look at this particular instance and fix the "double ellipsis", thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Regards,

Thanks! I noticed the same on the following menu items:

  • Edit (Special Actions)
  • Save as Template
  • Some items in the Export and Import menu

Of cause there is…

Reminds me of when one of our developers discovered the different kinds of dashes - and learned not just to copy text from Word-documents into code 😂
