rename visual  
Written by nakul the 4 Oct 08 at 21:20. New
in ubuntu 8.10 there are new visual installed they should be renamed to only the adjective signifying their characteristic

for example rename should be
libvisual infinite plugin plugin v0.1-> infinite


small polish like this go long way in making ubuntu reach the goal of matching os-x usabiliy

well cheesehead to make my point clear

-if you start firefox it does not say firefox 3.0.3 it just says firefox.

-program in ubuntu are renamed from default name (upstream name) to name that just signifies their purpose
ooffice -writer 2.4->OpenOffice.org Word Processor
ooffice -calc 2.4->OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet

-well these renaming have been extended to all launcher in ubuntu
gnome-dictionary 2.24->dictionary

well in all the above cases launcher have been renamed to a simpler name removing all unnecessary information which was done to reduce confusion (contrary to what cheesehead is saying)

->if you want to search word you look for app named dictionary not gnome-dictionary 2.24 this extra information just leads to confusion for end user
