ReactOS taskmgr writes a bit more *useful* dynamically
generated strings in the status-bar field 3 with the memory
than MS Windows XP taskmgr does for example.
Available space in the statusbar is very limited,
therefore we use the following trick to get as much as possible of that helpful text visible
for the majority of the translations:
- We do shrink the CPU% column a bit in width and static text lengths, as it is the one which
has very little variety in length of its dynamic part: 0% to 100%
This improves the display for all languages, and for some languages it also fixes
text-cutoff that we even had with the wider width in the CPU% column already.
also fix an accelerator collision in nl-NL.rc
- When I started I actually just wanted to make the 2 red lines the same length. see PR-pic
- Ultimately I was able to harmonize all ctrls sizes and position for all rc's.
- This does also fix text truncation and overflows in several rc's.
- Also this prevents the numbers (actual data) in some rc's to be cut off much earlier than in others,
e.g. hu-HU.rc had IDC_KERNEL_MEMORY_PAGED width just 33 which is very small and will lead to quick truncation.
Now all languages use width 45 for all data fields and width 57 for all text fields,
which means if truncation would ever happen with very large numbers in the 64bit era,
we will see that happen in all rc's at the same moment and not arbitrarily scattered over a century.
It will happen later after this PR is applied.
- After this PR the two red lines do have the same length. see PR-pic
- After this PR the two green lines do have the same length. see PR-pic
- After this PR the two yellow lines do have the same length. see PR-pic
- After this PR the four brown lines do have the same length. see PR-pic
- After this PR the five cyan lines do have the same length. see PR-pic
Some of the Menu-controls are just dummies in the RC,
because those controls are dynamically replaced at runtime
based on which tab/propsheet is active in taskmgr.
They are replaced by the IDS_MENU_* strings then.
Deduplicating them has many advantages:
1.) It shrinks binary size:
master taskmgr.exe RosBEWin2.2.2 GCC8.4.0dbg 708.608 -> 696.832 bytes
2.) Translators don't get lured into translating dead stuff,
assuming they translated the menu properly, while in fact they did not.
This is *real*. Happened even to me multiple times already, although
I am actually aware of the design.
3.) Some of them were offsync already between the dummy and the real thing.
4.) It reduces diff between en-US and other rc's.
* Aside of that improve alignment in some languages rcs in the "Shutdown"-menu-section,
* and improve a translation in de-DE, sq-AL, and zh-CN.
* [TASKMGR] id-ID.rc 2 accelerators in the same string is definitely wrong
* [TASKMGR] *.rc, make sure that warning is in all 30 langs, especially in en-US.rc
* [TASKMGR] for several translations add FIXME-comments regarding accelerator collisions
Taskmgr used a mixture: Sometimes _countof(), sometimes ARRAYSIZE()
and sometimes it calculated the count plain by sizeof(var)/sizeof(TYPE).
Harmonize everywhere to _countof() as it is the shortest solution.
Fix some formatting sins, like placing comments before else-statement.
Shorten the length of some very long line
intentionally *without introducing additional linebreaks* !
Shorten vertical length of some functions to increase their chance to
fit on the screen without scrolling.
Fix wrong indentation level in TaskManagerWndProc().
*.rc: Remove superfluous and redundant comment in all langs
No functional change intended.
I spotted yet another flip:
translation of IDS_TAB_PFDELTA and IDS_TAB_VMSIZE were flipped.
I spotted that by toggling all columns off entirely
in the View-Options dialog where the columns can be selected
and then added only one column at a time. I did that for all options.
I do recommend translators of other langs to do the same test,
I was shocked about the amount of bugs I spotted for german.
And it is very subtle / easy to miss, if you enable/disable multiple columns
together!
Let's call it a day now!
This is an addendum to 0.4.15-dev-413-g ed7196d964
binary size shrinks slightly although that dlg was unused:
taskmgr.exe RosBEWin2.2.2 GCC8.4.0dbg 715.264 -> 708.608
This fixes several issues:
- add a few missing translations, e.g. ID_PROCESS_PAGE_PROPERTIES & ID_PROCESS_PAGE_OPENFILELOCATION
- IDS_TAB_PEAKMEMUSAGE translation was flipped with IDS_TAB_MEMDELTA
- IDC_MEM_USAGE_FRAME had text truncation, fix that by structurally switching to "Speicher"
- waste less space for the listview headers in the Processes tab so user can display more columns conveniently without the headers unnecessarily being crippled to "..."
- Sync some controls sizes back to en-US in the performance tab
- Translation for ID_VIEW_CPUHISTORY_ONEGRAPHALL and ID_VIEW_CPUHISTORY_ONEGRAPHPERCPU was swapped accidentally
- Strip comment lines in the end, which were outdated anyway
- avoid monsters that not even a german person can read like "Auslagerungsdateiauslastungs-Verlaufsanzeige" which is like "Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft"
CORE-18061
This makes the left border 2 pixels smaller in
IDD_APPLICATION_PAGE and IDD_PROCESS_PAGE.
The goal is:
- matching XPSP3 taskmgr to 100% on left border.
- leaving more room for the content of the 2 SysListView32.
- better aligning left border of IDD_APPLICATION_PAGE
and IDD_PROCESS_PAGE to IDD_PERFORMANCE_PAGE
upon tab-switching.
In addition: Update german (de-DE) translation:
Make wording of IDS_MSG_TRAYICONCPUUSAGE (used in tooltip)
match the wording used in IDS_STATUS_CPUUSAGE (used in status bar).
