The "Remove and put into Trash" option came up on the i18n list and I
started looking at these options. I think these changes make sense.
"Remove all" (Command-N) is redundant, since Command-A, Delete works just
as well in the playlist window. Its a more useful pattern for the user to
know/learn as it should work in most listviews of this kind. Additionally
Alt-N has a strong connection to New (creation)- e.g "New Player..." in the
main window. I think we should avoid using Command-N for actions that are
on the opposite side of a creation-deletion spectrum, so to speak.
It works without a "Select All" menu item, but for completeness we should
probably add it.
"Move to Trash" is worded to have a stronger connection to the "same"
option in Tracker. (Removal from the playlist is secondary and implicit,
compared to the brute immediacy of going "beyond" the playlist and actually
moving the file to Trash.) I think it would have been worded more correctly
as "put in Trash" rather than "put into Trash", but "Move to Trash" is more
clear, and standard. Even if playlist removal isn't spelled out I think the
user is likely to foresee it, or at least be able to explain it to himself
after seeing the result.
