 Please add GenericName with translations to gimp.desktop for desktop

 The proposed GenericName is Image Manipulator shortened from
 The GNU Image Manipulation Program which would be too long for
 a GenericName.

Eeek. IMO Image Manipulator is really akward. I'd suggest to use
Image Editor instead. Unless someone comes up with a better
suggestion, I will do that change in the HEAD branch.

 Here is a link to a gimp.desktop file with GenericNames in several
 languages:
 
 http://www.yoper.com/ariszlo/devel/gimp.desktop

The translations are handled by po files. We don't keep gimp.desktop
with translations in CVS. I will let the translators take care of
translating the generic name.

 In addition to adding GenericName, Comment[ta] was also fixed.
 Comment[ta] was badly converted to UTF-8.

There's no ta translation for GIMP so that's not our problem.  The
gimp.desktop file as shipped with GIMP is validated using
desktop-file-validate so there shouldn't be such problems with our
desktop file. If people use other gimp.desktop files than the
originally shipped one that's their fault (and they should be kicked
badly for doing that).

Yes, Image Editor sounds much better.
Looking forward to gimp.desktop with GenericNames.

what art tool is called an Editor?  Image Editor sounds nothing like the
artist tool it is.  

i am creating art right now with ifscompose plug-in.  there is no editor
or editing involved.

You have a point here but I haven't been able to come up with anything
better yet. Do you?

well, part of my problem with a new name is that manipulator seems to
work well here -- as bad as it might sound.  it manipulates photos to
get the lighting better.  it creates images.  it is even a reasonable
art calculator.  

lewing did not use an editor to create tux with, for instance.
