IMHO, "spatial mode" is an expression that is quite realistic. I agree that the word is not commonly used, but it's very straight and fairly easy to translate. > "spatital mode", and it seems all the results are related to nautilus, which > means nautilus is naming the most common concept in a different phrase. Not entirely true according to my humble knowledge. GNUstep developers and users name "spatial mode" the analogical mode in GWorkspace, which is the analogical to nautilus app in GNUstep. Since NEXTSTEP's Workspace Manager had that mode as well and it was developed far before nautilus, I think the word itself is natural and not "nautilus hackers' invention". I like it very much (both the word and the spatial mode itself) :-) -- Yavor Doganov Free Software Association - Bulgaria http://fsa-bg.org GNOME на български! http://gnome.cult.bg _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
