GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 336986
Druids are gone, Assistants are the future
Last modified: 2007-11-20 15:15:55 UTC
Druids are no more, GTK calls them Assistants (like Mac OS) and in the Ubuntu preview (dapper drake, flight 5) the dialog title already says Assistant. (Bug 329761 already covers trying reduce/remove the need to show the Assistant at startup, this bug is merely to address the labellling.) The Druid nomclature had always bothered me since it was a bastardisation of Wizard which wasn't a great metaphor to begin with. I took a look at the source but the task of changing all references of Druid to Assistant was far far larger than I realised.
You don't need to change all the references... only those appearing in a text presented to the user. I accept "diff -ur" patches :-)
Created attachment 62683 [details] [review] patch to change Druid to asssistant diff -ur doesn't work diff -uR does work (I usually add -w as well) here is a patch for starters, not sure where else the term Druid appears if you could commit this soon I might have time to also make sure the English localisations are up to date. (I assume other languages ignored the "Druid" naming scheme and used something more intelligable.)
We're in string freeze as far as I know... waiting eagerly for the branching.
Just to keep up-to-date, there's also GtkAssistant, we use (since 2.10). I'll have a look at it.
Sorry... I mean: we CAN use
Yes, we also have a bug report on killing libegg, which will have the same fate.
