Name that Software Project

[Rik]

Here's a few more suggestions

If we want a Xara reference in the programme name:
Xpert Editor - XE
Xara Xpert Editor - Xara XE

If we want to honour Bill, then:
Taylor It
Taylor Edit
Tayloreg

Or someone can get ideas from these.

I figure the project can be TBD until quite late in the game, so I am enjoying the discussion. Plus, I am not someone who is pressured easily

@Grace, if this "Name Game" is putting any pressure or confusion on you, please tell us to stop it, okay?

A name is a name, ultimately. We need to arrive at the product. Look at how many people made fun of the name "iPad". And now it's commonly accepted and everyone wants one.

P.S.-By the way, a member just asked if there is a shortcut key combo for the Animation Frame Gallery, to Copy the current frame, so you can concentrate on your work and not have to leave the area you're working on to click the "Copy" button. I see in Utilities>Keyboard Shortcut commands that there's nothing for the Animation Gallery.

Is this something that could be added via this project, Grace? Adding keyboard commands for items not listing within the Xara UI?

I just got back from my walk, during which I came up with "Taylored Registry Editor for Xara (TREX). Maybe we will have a poll eventually for the name.

I love it.



You could also call it "T. Rex" if you're into dinosaurs.

+2 for TREX.

I like the fact that the name Taylor, in there. That's why I went with some of suggestions earlier.
In my opinion, I think you've nailed the name, Grace.

Though, we may have to contend with the fact that TREX is cooking fat!

[Gare]

Yeah, Rik.

I can see lots of people confusing a software registry editor with a butter substitute.

It looks to me like we already have done informal polling and the three top contenders were in order they were suggested,

• XaraRegistryTool or XaRT
• Xoquili
• Taylored Registry Editor for Xara (TREX)

Grace why don't you pick the one you like the best and then I'll set up the forum for it. I'm sure there are lots of Xara artists out there who would like to start thinking about logo and I'd like to have a home for those posts and discussions.

[Rik]

Yeah, Rik.

I can see lots of people confusing a software registry editor with a butter substitute.

That's why I put the exclamation mark at the end of my statement.

Decades ago, Morcambe and Wise made a joke about this.
Ernie Wise says (to look trendy) that he is into T-Rex.
Eric Morcambe says, "That's cooking fat, isn't it?"
OK. It's not funny now, because we've already been talking about TREX!

By the way, I really like the clown smiley. First time I've seen that.
