docks and workstations: typology confusion? #2291

Closed luizaogs closed 1 year ago

luizaogs commented 1 year ago

I assume you know this but while we now use the term dock (and that's what shows up in the hamburger menu when creating a new one), the menu items in the docks themselves (renew, edit, etc.) all mention "workstations". Purposeful? Not important? Don't know, so I point it out.

luizaogs commented 1 year ago

Ah "workstations" is also used in the hamburger menu for prepare all, import all, etc.

(I have a vague recollection of seeing you mention this in a ticket before...)

ja. well. One day we should perhaps call everything dock. Currently it is more like this: A FileMaker workstation is a type of dock. So when we call something a workstation we mean usually a device running FileMaker. When you create a dock it isn't clear what kind of dock you are creating as it could be a FileMaker Workstation or a report or a FileExport dock etc.

When you click on a dock that is a FileMaker Workstation things are called FileMaker Workstation as well.

So it isn't as incoherent as it seems on first glance and so I postponed that renaming party to a more distant future (when I just get rid of FileMaker docks entirely).

Aaah ok. I did remember this - that was the vague recollection. Well. Ignore me.

only in this instance at this time

luizaogs commented 1 year ago

If you say so :)
