A (Andy) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #7 from A (Andy) <[email protected]> --- I appreciate that the naming is now uniformed. I also have to remark that I was not involved in this discussion. But for me the solution seems to be ok, because with this you have an unambiguous and uniform naming, especially if you want to have uniform terms. But of course, "Align Middle" would also be possible, because MSO uses it and maybe many would associate "Middle" with the middle of a human body, so something vertical, but from my point of view it can also be used for horizontal aligment? If somebody asks you to place a ball in the middle of an empty room most will probably place it on the floor in the middle and would not say this impossible for me without tools because this means I have to place it vertical in the middle. Of course, maybe a strange example ... I only wanted to say that I would also use it horizontally. And if I take a look at dictionaries, then "middle" is the name for a point equally distant from two other points or extremes. Therefore, for me middle could maybe also be interpreted horizontally? And if you would only have the name "Align Middle" for a function to align objects with no further explanation, hints and no icons, would it be sure for you that this means vertical and not horizontal, thus be bijective? But why would you prefer "Middle"? I also want to note and emphasise that I am NOT a native English speaker! That's why, please correct if I am wrong. Maybe, we have here also an English native speaker who could help, because I could live with BOTH, but "Center Vertically" could maybe be a litte bit more bijective? For me it would also be very important to have also feedbacks from English native speakers to assess this issue. Maybe also from a linguist? And what do other software use? Do they use more "Align Middle" or something like "Center Vertically"? Thus, should we better switch to "Aling Middle"? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
