Reorder locks and visibility submenu + rename
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

i think all 4 names should mimick the same format

toggle XXX

-visbility
-layer lock
-inheret alpha
-alpha lock

to make it easier to read

Also i think the order needs to be the same as the buttons in the layer dock

so

-visbility
-layer lock
-inheret alpha
-alpha lock

in stead of what the submenue does now
-layer lock
-visibility
etc...

that will also make it easier to parse as their already is a certain order expectation i feel

14:56:53 - Bollebib_Pupu: to reorder the layers and locks & visibilty submenu
14:57:22 - Bollebib_Pupu: and add or remove toggle to each entry,so its consisent between all 4 entries
14:58:11 - Bollebib_Pupu: to the text string
14:58:11 - Bollebib_Pupu: all are toggles,but only 2 have "toggle" to the text,it drives me crazy XD
14:59:17 - Bollebib_Pupu: toggle layer lock for example in stead of lock/unlock layer
14:59:17 - Bollebib_Pupu: to me that would make it more readable
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: but more importantly i would mimick the order of the layer buttons
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: right now its
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: lock
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: visibility
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: Alpha lock
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: inheret alpha
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: i would suggest
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: visibility
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: Lock
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: inheret alpha
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: Alpha lock
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: Same order as the layer buttons
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: because we are reading left to right ,top to bottom
15:02:24 - Bollebib_Pupu: that order makes more sense,imo
15:02:49 - Bollebib_Pupu: i should have formatted that better...

that sounds ok to me. Those should be a pretty simple string change.

All of these new options are toggles, which are different than other options. Maybe the main main entry should say "Toggle" as a grouping instead of "Locks & Visibility"

"toggle layer properties"

'toggle selected layer properties"

"Quicktoggle Layer properties" (since its also possible to do this via properties...but quicker?)

perhaps?

let's do "toggle layer properties" for now and see how that goes. I will rename things and move the order around a bit. We will see if we need any tweaks after that. This is minor enough I probably won't do a code review.
