GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 729072
Rename "Recent" view to "Photos"
Last modified: 2015-10-27 12:24:20 UTC
Under this tab, gnome-photos does not actually show recently displayed pictures, but everything tracker finds. So it's a similar situation with https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725337 - 'Photos' or 'Library' would be proper names.

I would like to work on this bug please assign it to me.
(In reply to comment #2) > I would like to work on this bug please assign it to me. But we have not decided whether we really want to change the name.
"All" is another contender...
@Debarshi Ray: What do you think about Allan's suggestion?

@Debarshi Ray: could I get a review on the patch from comment 7, as we seem to have consensus on "All".
It is not clear to me why "Recent" is problematic, and nobody has tried to clearly state what the problem is. We do show the items in decreasing order of their modification times. "All" could also work, but why do we need to change it in the first place?

I see it - this view is meant to replicate gnome-documents' and gnome-books' - for example, the program does not actually moves to the Trash an icon you select from the Recent view and 'delete' it. It simply removes the photo from the list. But should it? Since this is a different matter altogether and involves coherence from other GNOME software - for instance, the redesigned totem DOES delete (move to Trash) videos when doing the exact same thing.

It simply removes the photo > from the list. Items do get deleted if don't undo the delete operation. So does gnome-documents. Recently we changed it to use the trash instead of deleting permanently. See bug 747183 In any case, how is that relevant to this bug? To be clear, I don't have a strong opinion on what this view should be called, and I don't want to change the string unless there is a clear agreement on the name. In case we decide not to change the name, we will close it as NOTABUG, but let's not close the bug without any good reason. Reopening.
Apple calls it "Photos": https://www.apple.com/osx/photos/
We've been using "Photos" in the latest mockups too.
