[Chandler-dev] Regarding bug 11987 - Move "Month/Week/Day" View selector back to View menu

[Andre Mueninghoff]

Hi, I just tried this out, and was immediately surprised that from the 
Dashboard/All view the sub menu items for View > Calendar were greyed 
out. I was expecting to have ability to choose a sub menu item to change 
the view to Dashboard/Calendar. Many programs have both icon and menu 
paths to various views and functions. I believe the current 
implementation is confusing and will be a barrier to discovery.

I suggest adding and making active a Triage Table View menu choice to 
the sub menu under View > Calendar for use in the Dashboard collection. 
That is, the Triage Table View sub menu choice would be active only when 
pressing View > Calendar from the Dashboard/All view. I believe this 
would help to clarify for new users the behavior difference, when 
pressing the Calendar toolbar button, between being in the Dashboard 
collection and a user collection. Certainly, I'm influenced by having 
used to date the current Tools > Select View menu items, but I believe 
they clarify rather than obscure Chandler's features. I am not 
suggesting at this time that a Calendar/Triage Table View be made 
available for personal collections due to the open issue of master 
occurrences being displayed also and the confusion that can cause. (Even 
though I believe this should be a 1.x feature. I have a user story to 
support this.)

I didn't reopen this bug, but will do so if there is agreement.
