Remember the Milk service authorizes as "API Application"

[Scott Wegner]

Binary package hint: tasque

When connecting tasque to a Remember the Milk account for the first time, the request is made to sync with "API Application". This is not very descriptive, especially when a user may have many applications connected to their account they would need to manage. A unique and descriptive name should be used-- "Tasque" would make sense.

Details:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
$ apt-cache policy tasque
tasque:
  Installed: 0.1.6-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.1.6-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.1.6-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen
-- Open Tasque for the first time
-- Select "Remember the Milk" plugin, click on "Click Here to Connect"
-- Browser page opens with text "Tasque wants to link to your Remember The Milk account"

4) What happened instead
-- Open Tasque for the first time
-- Select "Remember the Milk" plugin, click on "Click Here to Connect"
-- Browser page opens,with text "API Application wants to link to your Remember The Milk account"

I believe this an issue with Remember The Milk and has nothing to do with Ubuntu OR tasque. I don't think it can be changed either.

[Scott Wegner (swegner)]

Generally when an application applies for an API key for a service (such as Remember The Milk), they are required to provide some descriptive information about their program. It looks like the case here is that Tasque's API key is registered with the name "API Application". You may be right that it cannot be changed, but I would hope that isn't the case.

I haven't had a problem with this, using the 1.8 versions
