Add generic names to the applications in our menu who are only "branded names"
For example Brasero, Audacity, Thunderbird doesn’t tell you anything about what these applications do.
See https://lists.autistici.org/message/20200306.181628.1d401fc7.en.html
Proposals:
- Dasher → Dasher Text Input System
- Brasero → Brasero CD/DVD Burner
- Sound Juicer → Sound Juicer CD Ripper
- Audacity → Audacity Sound Editor
- OnionShare → OnionShare File Sharing
- Thunderbird → Thunderbird Email Client
- KeePassXC → KeePassXC Password Manager
- Inkscape → Inkscape Image Editor
- GtkHash → GtkHash Checksum Calculator
- Kleopatra → Kleopatra OpenPGP Encryption
We could try to suggest these changes upstream and otherwise patch the .desktop files ourselves.
The part of this work that's UX:debt and Core Work:Foundations Team is: cheap attempt to upstream this change to OnionShare, Thunderbird, and KeePassXC.
User research findings
- During #18762 (closed), P2 commented on not knowing what GtkHash and Kleopatra were.
