Imaging Performance Testing: MR8, ETBH, HBSP

[Epictetus]

I do agree with "compression level", no questions here. But especially with technical products and UIs in general - isn't it rather common to leave out articles like "the" in captions? I'm not talking about full sentences here, but captions in UI elements where it's rather common to have texts as compact as possible.

English is not my native language though, so take this with a grain of salt. But it feels odd to me to  write "the" in texts like "Checking file system" or "Size of newly created image file" because those texts read like a check list to me.

Just my 2 cents 

Technically, yes.  Without a word like "Now", or "I'm" the word "the" is a little odd.  So, for example, "Now Checking the File System", or "I'm Checking the File System" would be correct.  I think they want to try and be as correct as possible to combat the negative stereotypes of Chinese software.

Well I am a native speaker and I think putting the definite article 'the' in those places makes the English better, and more importantly in some instances, much clearer.
