By same logic: I doubt 'Home' in English makes sense. Home is a house, flat, not a directory on a computer (which is inside of a home). What people frequently forget about silly-sounding translations of English computer terms is that they are just as silly in English! Non-native English speakers have just accepted their double normal/technical meaning because they were foreign. WRT to the bug, note that: - GNOME puts a house emblem on the folder, so if you change the name, you should also change the emblem. - The filesystem has them under /home, and sooner or later may users are exposed to that. Be careful of names like "User Folder" lest users look for it under /usr :-) Renaming it for UI consistency risks users facing a bigger inconsistency later. (The real fix is renaming fixing FS names, like Mac OS X. But that's controversial.) -- "Home Folder" has 3 different names https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
