Title: What does "..." on menu items mena?
Post by: Pecan on March 27, 2007, 01:47:36 am

Does anyone know the significance of the "..." on some of the menu items?

Eg., Find... but not on Find in Files.

Save as... but not on Open.

I always assumed it meant that it worked with multiple files, but thinking on that it really does not make sense.

In a Windows environment, "..." after a menu command is supposed to indicate that the command will open a new dialog window. C::B is not entirely consistent about this.

Longtime user, first time poster...
Original (oft ignored) usage was to signify another dialog would launch for user input.
Therefore "Open" SHOULD have the "..." just like "Save as...", but NOT "Save"
