"Add 'Most recently..." should be "Show 'Most

Post by Dreamer »

"Add 'Most recently used files' to menu File" should be "Show 'Most recently used files' in menu File".

User expects that if he disables this option, files are not added to 'Most recently used files' list, but any other user may enable this option and see all 'Most recently used files' (only if "Purge 'Most Recently Used Files & Directories' on exit" option is disabled) !

Here are the 'Recent lists' options in XnView 1.80.1.

Show 'Most recently used files' in menu File
Most Recent Files in submenu
Purge 'Most Recently Used Files & Directories' on exit
[Purge 'Most Recently Used Files & Directories']


1. Some are in mixed caps and others are in lowercase. Choose one style over the other and be consistent in its use.
- Choose either 'Most Recently Used Files' or 'Most recently used files.'

2. Choose the proper name for the item.
- Choose either 'Most Recently Used Files' or 'Most Recent Files.'
- MRU literally means 'Most Recently Used Files,' and it is clearer and easier to understand than 'Most Recent Files.'

3. 'File menu' sounds better in English than 'menu File.'

Here is a proper English translation.

Show 'Most Recently Used Files' in File menu
Show 'Most Recently Used Files' in submenu
Purge 'Most Recently Used Files & Directories' on exit
[Purge 'Most Recently Used Files & Directories']
Windows 11 (64-bit), Android 12, XnViewMP 1.5.0, XnResize 1.10, XnShell 4.16

From what I can see the above wordings still have to make it into the 1.82, in the 1.82 beta 1 the old wordings are still used.
