Reason: "List" rather refers to the file list.
Something with "Customize..." or "Edit..." would be nice. Any ideas?

Re: "List Management" needs new name
I've looked at what can be modified via this and I think that LM is still a good and valid descriptor since what you're working with are sets of lists...and most often are used in drop-down selections which I think are known as lists...the word 'table' could apply but that more typically is used with a 2-dimensional layout...
Stephan had a nbr of ideas but to me, none of them sound as appropriate as the current LM.

I was about to post "organize / (in the vein of UDC:) manage drop-down lists" when JC came in. He's right: i never thought of LM as something referring to file list.

Re: "List Management" needs new name
i think "manage (drop-down) lists" sounds a bit less ambiguous, simply because it's plural.Linkaday wrote:I was about to post "organize / (in the vein of UDC:) manage drop-down lists" when JC came in. He's right: i never thought of LM as something referring to file list.

Re: "List Management" needs new name
Exactly, so the only choice I see that might eliminate any possible confusion with file list (which I don't think exists) would be to flip it around...like "Manage lists" to add the plural form but I still prefer current LM...and putting "(drop-down)" in it, as Muroph posted, would apply to some but not all choices so I'd not suggest doing that...for example, Favorite Folders exists as a sub-menu as I see it.Linkaday wrote:I was about to post "organize / (in the vein of UDC:) manage drop-down lists" when JC came in.

A possible variant would be "Manage User Lists" but that could be confused with a list of users which it isn't.
