"Videos" is a very confusing name for a video player

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Ubuntu Ringtail daily 20130128

1. Right-click on a video file in the file manager.
2. After opening the file, choose "Help" > "About".

What you see:
1. "Open With Videos"
2. "Videos" "Videos" "Totem Website".

What's wrong with this:
1. Open a video with videos? That doesn't make any sense. I have a Videos folder, but this video is not in that folder.
2. The window is titled "About Videos", but doesn't tell me anything about videos. And then a wild Totem appears.

This is a regression: In Ubuntu 12.10 and earlier, the program was called "Movie Player", which was pretty accurate.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on an appropriate mailing list or forum. http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good start for determining which mailing list to use.

I think that https://launchpad.net/~unity-design can be good

While discussing in mailing lists may be helpful, I don't think that would be worth the hassle. This kind of changes made by Gnome suck, and just reverting to the previous name is a trivial fix to this bug --rather than discussing a new name for the app--.

It is indeed "made by Gnome":

Will this regression be reverted back to Movie player and/or is there a conversation taking place on a mailing list that we can weigh in on? Thank you

The upstream issue was closed on 2014-01-06 as "RESOLVED NOTABUG" and with no further discussion for over eight years I'm closing this after reviewing the outstanding '100 Papercuts' bug reports.
