Oh I thought we added (2023) to indicate that this is the latest Pipeline, not for assistive tech. Hope we can fade out this qualifier though.
And the " - App" is for screenreaders who read out window titles but not the window type.
For reference, here are all the places we have the title appear (and I will probably edit this list a lot):
I would prefer in the future to use only "DAISY Pipeline" for everything except the application window title (and maybe the settings & about titles). Those can be " - App".

Right. Mainly to indicate that this is the latest Pipeline. I've updated my comment.
But still, I think that in a lot of cases when the "(2023)" is used the "- App" makes sense, and visa versa.
How I see it:
2023 | App | |
---|---|---|
Installer | yes | maybe |
Installed shortcut | yes | maybe |
Dock icon | yes | maybe |
Application window title | yes | yes |
Settings window title | yes | yes |
About box window title | yes | yes |
Tray menu tooltip text | yes | maybe |
Application menu title (mac only) | no | no |
Hide and Quit menu items (mac only) | no | no |
About menu item | no | no |
About box heading | maybe | no |
Putting this under the 1.0 milestone because I'd like to use our (2023) workaround as lightly as possible since we want to move past it in the future.
how about
2023 | App | |
---|---|---|
Installer | yes | no |
Installed shortcut | yes | no |
Dock icon | yes | no |
Application window title | yes | yes |
Settings window title | yes | yes |
About box window title | yes | yes |
Tray menu tooltip text | yes | no |
Application menu title (mac only) | no | no |
Hide and Quit menu items (mac only) | no | no |
About menu item | no | no |
About box heading | yes | no |
Note for the "About box window title"
I do not think there is a way to modify the application menu title without the change affecting the installer, shortcut, etc. So it's going to stay as "DAISY Pipeline (2023)"
Maybe another nit-pick, and others may disagree, but I think the "(2023)" could be used more sparingly as it was only added to be able to make a distinction with Pipeline 1 and the old Pipeline 2 GUI.
On the other hand the "- App" postfix, which was added for a very similar reason, could be used more. Currently it is only used for the window title, but it would also make sense in the dock, in the command-tab list, and in the tray tooltip.
Basically I think whenever the "(2023)" is used the "- App" makes sense, and visa versa.
Anyway, as it's meant to be only a temporary solution it might not be worth our time.
