Hi, Now that KDE Applications 15.08 is out, it's time to move KScreenGenie into KDE Graphics and retire KSnapshot.
The plan was to simply rename KScreenGenie to KSnapshot; however, after discussions on IRC people have suggested that given the fairly big change (it *is* a completely new codebase, after all), a change of name wouldn't be such a bad idea. Also, retiring an existing application and renaming a new application to said old application would be a nightmare for the sysadmins, as too many changes would need to be made, and that for packages on download.kde.org, the package name -> repository mapping would be broken. A fairly universal sentiment is that no one seems to like KScreenGenie as a name (including yours truly). So I'll leave this up to the community. I'm currently considering naming it Safelight, with other names I've considered being (in order of preference) Selfie (a screenshot is literally a computer taking a selfie), Iris, Kapture, KScreenshot and Snap. If anyone wants to upvote any of these choices, please reply to this thread. People are welcome to suggest new names too, but too many people suggesting new names will quickly degrade to "bikeshedding", as they say. Use your judgement. I won't be doing any renaming this week or even next week (a bugfix release of KScreenGenie needs to be made), so there's no immediate rush. Yours, Boudhayan Gupta _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
