Cassidy, there's no ambiguity problem, the folder icon is enough to
communicate the idea that that app is a file manager.
You say Midori or Noise are different because users more likely to install
them on other distros, but at the moment Marlin is the

Sorry to be "that guy" and to burst everyone's bubble, but it's Files.

A file manager is a tool that isn't really like other apps; your system
ships one and for the most part, you use it. More advanced users could
possibly install an alternative one, sure. But
Allen, I can't say I love it but sounds good. Actually, the more I think
about it the more I like it :)

So, here's the deal, we can't use Marlin, Marlin is off the table, end

Marlin is already widely used by many users in several distros other than
elementary and they'll use our version since Marlin is discontinued, now.
Keeping using Marlin sounds good, even though could be a bit unfair if

I agree with the unique name proposal.
What about a journal entry explaining our reasons to take back Marlin
and rebranding it? We could ask for name suggestions, and then make a
poll (1 week, I think). Then, users can decide what they want to call
Marlin for.
We could put a "Pantheon Files"
Going by the 'standard' having a unique name for file browser makes sense.
It will feel inconsistent otherwise. Also for people who install more than
one file browser, similar names would be frustrating.
i propose 'Magellan' if people are convinced not to use Marlin.

I agree with Christian. I know Canonical will be considering Marlin for
12.10, and I think it will be good if the name is distinctive. 'Files' or
'Briefcase' is the opposite of distinctive; Files is also being used as a
name by Gnome Shell (for Nautilus), and remember briefcases from Windows
9x? It
I think "Files" is a fine name; it's not made to be a particularly
cross-platform app, and any time in doubt you could call it by it's more
specific name, "Pantheon Files." Similar to how "Terminal" is really
"Pantheon Terminal." But in this case I think naming it what the user would
expect is more
He's been non-responsive about our attempts to use the LP project. My guess
is that he'd be genuinely opposed to us continuing with the name.
I do think that Marlin is kind of a silly name that won't make sense to
anyone who isn't a big geek about Linux File Managers :p
Not terribly concerned wit
File Cabinet :)

Is it no option to stick to Marlin, and actually continue it in honor of
its original author? am may have lost interest, but it's still a great
project he put in place there. Unless he is in fact opposed to that.
I think "Files" is a bad name. It may make sense to display in the UI,
but it's a mes
I honestly think "File Cabinet" might be a good name.

Personally I think generic names (like "dock", "files", "music") are mad
for applications. The most important parts of Pantheon have a unique
brand: win
Hey guys,
as I'm sure you're well aware, am monkey has decided to stop working on
Marlin. As you may also be aware, I asked him if we could have the LP
project back. He never responded. So we decided that we're not waiting
anymore, we're just gonna take it back finally.
