In principle, it sounds like the right thing to do from an user
perspective. However, I wonder where you draw the line? Do you run the risk
of creating more confusion when the Geary string pops up here and there
(e.g. about dialog, help, etc). Where do you draw the line in the
substitution?
I want all the apps to be named what they do, so Dexter becomes Contacts,
Noise becomes Music, Midori becomes Web etc.
It's so much easier for the users, and is what they'd expect. iOS and
Android, OSX and GNOME all follow this trend, and while we aren't ones for
doing something just because

In the long run (L+1 or even L+2), I want there to be no difference between
an open and closed app. Computers are fast enough now (esp. with Luna) that
you don't really notice the extra delay when you open an app rather than
restoring from Minimize.
I also want apps to save their state for when
As Sam Tate said, all the apps should be so in elementary OS.

On Qua,
Isn't that kind of like pulling all street signs/traffic lights in excited
anticipation for the day when cars have traffic data projected onto the
windshield via HUD?

I just want to re-base this discussion on Geary, as that's what Dan is
specifically asking about.
I'm +1 on branding it as Mail on our desktop. We're sort of in the
process of moving in that direction. That would mean its full name would be
Mail and its generic name could be Email Client or
Ok. this is a tricky subject. From my perspective, I see a great
advantage on de.branded apps it becomes easier to know what the program
does.
On the other end, That's why icons exist, to represent what the
application is/does. Having that said, I think is far more beneficial to
have all apps
I agree. I think that the proper way to do it is to make a single project
with different translatable strings for each plug, as when you translate
Ubuntu (e.g., https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+lang/en_GB

Well the idea is that our default apps already more-or-less behave like
this and we're kind of pushing 3rd party devs to follow along.
But it sounds like overall there is a pretty strong desire for the option
to re-enable them for now. Which I think is 100% fair considering we're in
the very

I think too many distros use generic names like this. I like the current
names better.
