[Bug 922135] Re: Update Manager settings panel has a misleading name

[Robert Roth]

Yes, the inconsistency exists between the button invoking Software Sources and the title of the window, however note the following:
- Software sources is also invoked by Software center, and the menu item is called Software Sources (in the Edit menu)
- Software sources is also invoked by Synaptic (Settings menu->repositories) (therefor I am setting synaptic as affected and updating the bug description to deal with these inconsistencies in all applications, marking Synaptic bug #34361 as a duplicate of this one)
- Settings might be a bit too general, application Preferences are usually called "APPLICATIONNAME preferences" to avoid ambiguity
- Software sources will become a control center panel after 12.04, see the Work-in-Progress design [1], where it is called Software&Updates

Title:
  Inconsitencies between Software sources and modalities to open it

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently software-properties' main window has the title "Software Sources", which can be invoked from:
  * software center->Edit menu-> Software Sources
  * Synaptic -> Settings menu-> Repositories
  * Update Manager -> Settings button

  We should keep the title and the label of the action accessing
  software-propeties consistent, as suggested by the HIG, the action
  should end with ellipsis, and the title of the window should be the
  same as the label without the trailing ellipsis.

  Regardless of the name chosen, it should be updated in all of the
  above applications for consistency.

  Also see [1] for the work-in-progress design of the new software-
  properties control center applet, as the title will probably also
  appear there.
