the "nickname" of a property is part of the property API in GObject. a GObject property is defined to have 3 strings: • name: the string that allows programmatic access to that property; not translatable. • nick: the name of the property to be used when displaying it in a GUI tool, like Glade; translatable. • blurb: the description of the property to be used in a GUI tool; translatable. to draw a parallel with GConf schemas: the name of a property is like the key name; the nick is like the short description; the blurb is like the long description. so "Property Nicks" is a list of user visible strings that should be displayed with GUI tools that allow changing the values of those properties. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
