GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 611466
"Applications->Internet->Empathy IM client" title is sub-optimal
Last modified: 2011-08-29 10:12:37 UTC
Forwarded from: http://launchpad.net/bugs/529385 The English-language title of "Empathy IM client" in the .desktop description is not ideal. The word "client" adds nothing, and "IM" is obscure. Ideally "Empathy Internet Messaging", or "Empathy Internet Chat" might be more obvious. Patch included (thanks to Angel Abad) to change this to "Empathy Internet Messaging": http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39876824/desktop.patch
FWIW it is easier for maintainers to notice patches if they are real patches, attached to the bug report. Also, from an old conversation on gnome-doc-list, "Instant Messenger" looked the best candidate.
Frederic: if you can clearly state how the one-line unified diff could be better expressed, I'm sure that either the originator of the patch, or myself, or even yourself would be able to tweak it as required (eg. to use the wording "Instant Messenger").
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=patchreport.html&product=empathy&patch-status=none is a page used by maintainers, listing unreviewed patches. Quite logically this bug report, which has no patch attached (despite having a patch) won't be included on that page. Is it clearer? The problem is not with the patch itself, just the way it is (not) attached to the bug report.
Created attachment 155395 [details] [review] +_X-GNOME-FullName=Empathy Internet Messaging Copied to Bugzilla as requested.
Thanks for the patch. It will have to wait 2.31 as we are now in string freeze.
Merged to master. Thanks for the patch! 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.
