Name that Software Project

[angelize]

I don't think the name Xoquili is right for the project because while the intention to honour Bill is wonderful, it doesn't really say anything about what the program is or what it will do. I also think it is important not to let the desire to honour Bill overshadow the generous offer to the Xara community that Grace is making here.

As for suggestions for settings there may be some settings for the Shapebuilder/eraser tool that may be worth including, but it would probably be a good thing to wait for DP9 to be released before looking at that.

I can't say I like 'Xoquili'

If we do want to honour Bill, why not just use the name he preferred and used: Soquili

Or come up with something completely different.

What concerns me is that Steve Ledger hasn't come in with his opinions.

Also, same as many others have said, I am more than willing to help on the artwork side.
That's what I enjoy doing the most.

Just read all the posts on carrying on Bill and Steve's XaReg. It would be a fitting tribute to Bill, who I bet by now is having a chuckle about all the proposed new names being put forward for the new XaReg and what you could do and can't do But also, I bet he's pleased everyone is thinking about him and very pleased Grace came up with the idea of carrying on his legacy, now there's a completely new name!

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.
