[OK] REQ: Rename one of the slide show option catagories?

Post by marsh »

At options section, both slide shows are called "slide show". Perhaps
one catagory should be renamed something else to be clearer.
Example: Make 'Quick Show' section and 'Slide Show' section.

Until now there was no clear separation of Quick (slide) show and Slide show and all settings affect both types of shows. If you introduced a (sub?) category for the Quick Show, I think you would have to double all options: Having some options for both types of shows and some specific options would not be clear, I think.

Doubling options means a lot of flexibility, but might make things confusing and more complicated. So I think the options should not be doubled until various users have indicated a real need for seperate options for Quick Show and Slide Show.

I agree that less duplication is preferable. But it is confusing to
have aparently seperate functions bearing the same name. This makes
more difficult to discuss if someone doesn't know which slide show is
being referred to.

Ok, so you would like to change options/View/Slide show to Quick Slideshow?

Another possiblility is calling the older one "Slide Creator".
What do you think?

"Quick Slide Show" or "Quick Show" sounds good to me.

The Quick Slide Show has few attributes, only, when we add some more it might be an idea to give it an own sub category (View > Quick Slide Show).

@marsh: Slide Creator is not so clear, I think.

I agree, "Quick Slide Show" is the same as on "Quick-Slide-Show" button in viewer.
