Description Niklas Mattisson 2004-02-04 00:21:42 UTC 
The section about "Tool Call" should be renamed to something else.

From what I know the "Tool Call" is the wrong wording for selecting the
tool in different ways. The words Tool Call also makes it hard to translate
to something usable and understandable.

Some suggestions are:

"Activate the Tool"
"Selecting the Tool"

Any other suggestions? Any other comments about the "Tool Call" section?
Comment 1 Carol 2004-02-04 04:40:34 UTC 
Since the word "call" gets used so much with code, why not something
more like real life tools and call it "Load Tool" or "Reload Tool" if
it fits.
Comment 2 Róman Joost 2004-02-04 22:55:56 UTC 
I would, like you scizzo suggest:
 "Tool activation", because the manual will telling the user, how i
can activate the tool. Well, the problem about this is, that we need
maybe a more general way how we describe the activation of a dialog,
tool or plugin. Maybe only "Activation" is what we want?
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2004-02-08 18:56:57 UTC 
How's the state of this report? It seems a good alternative has been
suggested; will this change be accepted for inclusion in CVS?
Comment 4 Niklas Mattisson 2004-02-08 19:41:35 UTC 
Well I still think that doing a "Activating Tool" would be good here.
To use the same sentence for "plugins" would be "Activate Plugin" and
so on. Using "Activation" only might confuse a little.
Comment 5 Niklas Mattisson 2004-02-08 19:42:45 UTC 
Sorry...I ment "Activate Tool" and "Activate Plugin"
Comment 6 Róman Joost 2004-02-09 08:19:11 UTC 
I'll change 'Tool call' to 'Activate tool' (etc) as soon as possible.
Comment 7 Sven Neumann 2004-02-10 20:54:29 UTC 
Fixed in CVS;
