Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux I personally don't give a hoot what you call the software, but some customers who use KDE in enterprise settings will run away rather than answer support calls from users who are either religiously offended or having to explain to kids using KDE and schools what a devil is. Reproducible: Didn't try
If your kids ask again, tell them that "devil" is an acronym and means "DEVice Interface Layer".
:/ little bluedevil will cry :(
Are you serious or are you kidding us? Where is the button to give a negative vote to this bug?
(In reply to comment #1) > If your kids ask again, tell them that "devil" is an acronym and means "DEVice > Interface Layer". Christoph Feck, your lastname is too similar to a curse word, please ask your parents to change your name or someone might get offended. [ Of course i am just kidding :D ]
No I'm not joking. If it was just me you could call it Blue Rapist, but I'm responsible for enterprise distro packaging. We already had to patch out an X screensaver that showed a devilish face. Some customers are really stupid about these things unfortunately and it's easier if the change is made upstream instead of by distributions. I suggest keeping the name for the project but remove it from the user visible parts like PowerDevil does.
Although I disagree on the reasons, I do agree removing it from the user-visible parts. This is not because of the word devil (are we going to rename daemons, too?), but because the name is not very descriptive. It is not clear from the name alone that it is dealing with bluetooth, and not, say college sports ;) It is also inconsistent. The it is called "Bluetooth" in systemsettings, if you search for "devil" in systemsettings it doesn't find anything. However, if you search for bluetooth in krunner you only get the dolphin place since in krunner it is referred to as bluedevil. Similarly the system tray applet is "bluedevil monolithic". And the wizards have "bluedevil" in the title. So I would use the same name everywhere, and I think "bluetooth" is much more descriptive than "bluedevil", which could be just about everything. Also, someone unfamiliar with KDE would never guess to look for bluedevil when they are trying to configure their bluetooth. So although I have no problem with calling things devil in principle, I think in this case it makes things more confusing for users.
Well, we have removed the *Devil from the UI parts, and ATM we won't remove it from the binaries. We'll change them for 1.0+1, but imho the effort doesn't worth it. I'm going to change the bug as whishlist.
Then, can we close this bug since *Devil is not included in the interface?
