Applications menu item uses technical language 'SVG' and 'Vector'

[Phil Bull]

The Inkscape entry in the GNOME Applications menu is titled 'Inkscape SVG Vector
Illustrator'. 'SVG' and 'Vector' are technical terms, and some users are
unlikely to associate them with a drawing/illustrating program, thus creating a
usability issue. The tooltip also uses the term 'SVG'. These strings should be
changed to remove the jargon.

This is also an issue with translated strings in the Inkscape .desktop file.

The GNOME HIG 2.0 offers advice on menu entry names with jargon:

I propose 'Inkscape SVG Vector Illustrator' -> 'Inkscape Illustrator'

Thanks for your bug report. I forwarded the issue upstream:

The discussion is stlil going on in the upstream bug.

This issue seems to have been fixed. The new entry reads 'Inkscape Vector Illustrator', which at least gets rid of 'SVG'.

Marking as fix released.

Closing this bug on Baltix too, please reopen if it's not fixed.
