application > accessories > take screenshot (should be take a screenshot)
"Take Screenshot" inst good English, "Take a Screenshot" sounds better

I think this issue deserves a bit of discussion. No other entry in the menu describes the activity what it can do, so this one should avoid that too. I think something like "Screenshot tool" would be better.

[Chris Wilson (notgary-deactivatedaccount)]

I agree that avoiding naming it after an activity would be best. I also think that avoiding the use of words like 'tool' and 'utility' is desirable as these types of words aren't very user friendly. I think the following would be good alternatives:

- Screen Capture
- Screenshot Camera
- Screen Camera

Or something along those lines.

[Robert Roth (evfool)]

Screen Capture sounds the best, as I think it should not contain the word Camera, because it does not have anything to do with a camera, and could cause confusion.

main-menu is not what you think it is - it's a component of the text-mode installer.

This string is in the gnome-screenshot package, which is part of gnome-utils.

I'm happy to work on this bug, however I need to know what to change the menu entry to. Is there a consensus on Screen Capture? Or does it require more discussion?

[ibizatunes (ibizatunes)]

I think screen capture would be good description for getting a screenshot

[Nathan Heafner (nathan1465-5)]

this seems like a personal preference and not a blatant mishap in spelling or grammar.

take a screen shot is a descriptive sentence of what that menu item does, i would say that menu items should not be sentences.
