Description William Jon McCann 2009-07-29 19:22:16 UTC
As discussed in various places we shouldn't use the generic name in the name
field in the desktop files:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2009-July/010807.html

We should also have consistency between the Name field, the name used in the
titlebar, the name used in the application menu (gnome-shell, or OS X), the
about box, and the documentation.

Can we change the name in the desktop file to reflect this?

we had a similar discussion, some time ago. thats where we changed the entry to "Cheese Webcam Booth". Whats your proposal?
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2009-07-29 23:17:39 UTC
Please also see:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/CorrectGenericName/

Name = Cheese
GenericName = Webcam Booth
Comment 3 daniel g. siegel 2009-07-29 23:37:44 UTC
oh, i thought you want to propose a different naming too. anyway, this change is ok for me, if it gets approved for a gnome wide goal

Fix .desktop file

It was finally decided to use X-GNOME-FullName, to mark how it's specific to GNOME.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
