0.83: Colon at end of labels used inconsistently

Post by helmut »

In XnView 0.83, labels followed by a drop-down list or textbox sometimes have a colon and sometimes not.

An example:
Settings > Interface > Interface: "Maximum entries [20]"
Settings > Interface > Tabs: "Maximum of view tabs: [99]"

The colon should be either consistently used or consistently left out.

This might be an issue in the English "translation" and thus in all languages.

A colon at the end makes it easier for the user to realize that the control (edittext / drop-down list / button / ...) on the right-hand side belongs to the label.

In XnView Classic this is also inconsistent, so please handle this with very low priority.
