Hello,
Because at kde-usability were no serious votes against [1] I am forwarding
this here:
Some time ago I wrote about changing Bookmarks wording. I was
suggesting something like "Bookmark this Location" but now I think
something more is necessary to improve usability.
Konqueror file browser:
On whitespace:
Add to Bookmarks ->
Bookmark This Location
On directory:
Add to Bookmarks ->
Bookmark This Directory ( or Folder)
On file:
Add to Bookmarks ->
Bookmark This File
Konqueror web browser:
On page or when other situations don't apply:
Add to Bookmarks ->
Bookmark This Page
eventually it could be "Bookmark This Location"
On link:
Add to Bookmarks ->
Bookmark This Link

The only problem I have with this is that the word 'bookmark' isn't actually
a verb... (yes, just like the word 'new'...)
But Aaron Seigo responded:
in the common computing vernacular it is .. just as the word "google" has
become a verb, despite actually being a noun ... "to google", "to
bookmark" ... "can you bookmark that site for me?"
And me:
I think English is flexible enough to bear it (Aaron already mentioned
'google', Mozilla use 'Bookmark this...' phrase).
Real problem can be with translations. But I think it is better to have long
phrases than unclear.
