partitionmanager has a strange name compared to all other apps in the kde repos. "KDE Partition Manager" No other app has KDE in its name and usually no whitespace in the name The KDE in the name does not make sense There is also a special entry in kdoctools, see https://cgit.kde.org/kdoctools.git/tree/src/customization/en/user.entities#n34 Proposal: simply use Partitionmanager as app name in GUI and documentation and on kde.org/applications Then the entity partman can be removed from kdoctools/tree/src/customization/*/user.entities and added to kdoctools.git/tree/src/customization/entities/general.entities, where all other apps get their name for the docbooks
It might make sense to name it KParted, as the Gnome counterpart is named GParted. (Although PartitionManager is also totally fine, both are better than the current name)

If at all, it should be KPartEd, not KParted. If KPartEd suggests that it uses libparted, using KPartitionEd or KPartEditor could be an option. See also https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/7p00dd/name_of_kde_partition_manager/

Even though I maintain partitionmanager right now, I feel that it should be a wider consensus amongst the KDE devs, not my decision alone. After all I am not the original author. But right now other things were taking priority (both IRL outside partitionmanager, and also KAuth work in partitionmanager, so I haven't thought about this issue).
