Naming is often a matter of trial an error, unfortunately. Sometimes it is a compromise between clarity and translatability. Other times we as developers associate certain things with words or names but users do differently. Another example for this in KDE is that we are removing "Akonadi" from all user visible strings. Like KResource it is a technical term, a name of a framework. It is a significant distinction for us developers but of absolute unimportance to users. Just an informational follow up :) Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
