Description Michael Catanzaro 2013-12-21 21:51:31 UTC
gpk-application currently goes by four different names:

* According to the desktop file, it is Packages, so that is what you see in GNOME Shell.
* According to the window titlebar, it is Software. When launching the application, quickly switch to another workspace and you'll see the notification "Packages 'Software' is ready."
* According to the appdata file, it is Package Installer, so that is what you see in GNOME Software.
* According to the About dialog, it is Software Install.

I think we should pick a package-based name for gpk-application and use it consistently.  I'd favor either Packages or else Package Manager.  Package Installer isn't really right: it's also used for removing packages.

One clarification: the name presented in GNOME Software is actually Packages, but the appdata description nevertheless refers to Package Installer.
Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2013-12-24 14:00:57 UTC
Right, now GNOME Software exists, I think we want to be consistent with either "Packages" or "Package Installer". I think the former is probably better, but open for ideas.
