Dev:Source/Development/Todo/User-Submit Todo
Objective: To form a small team to assess & discuss & provide small fixes to Blender's user interface. Which in turn would be passed to to ui section maintainers & supplied as patch/design task.
Scope: All Areas of Blender's ui that need minor usability tweaks, naming fixes & updating.

目次
Task 1/
| Author: | meta-androcto |
| Area: | Create Tab > Add Primitive Panel |
| Issue: | Inconsistency in naming & sub area management. |
| Description: | The Shift/A menu & The Add menu in the 3d View are consistently named & separated, the Create tab is not. |
| Proposed solution: | separate & rename the panels in consistent form. |
- Fix:
Add Primitive panel should only show primitive objects, the camera/lamp do not belong there. Re-name & Split Add Primitive panel to Add Mesh, Add Curve, Add Lights, Add Menu. (add menu could contain all the other current entries.) keeping inline with current ui design. Panels should be closed by default for easier quick access & less clutter in ui.
- Benefits: Consistent UI between shift/a, 3d view header Add menu & Create tab. Use, access & readability will be improved.
- Down Side My patch is really not better than the current create tab.
- Proposal Re-name the Create > add primitive panel to "add objects panel", rename shift/a to "add objects panel", clean up list order to match Add menu, Shift/a menu & Create tab.
