ZScreen tabs names are not indicative of their function #422

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Look at the tabs and their functions: They do not match in some cases.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

1. "Actions" should be "Edit" (That's the only action possible here)
2. "Destinations" should be "Upload" (local destinations such as clipboard and 
local file are not dealt with here)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

NIL (BTW thanks for reorganizing the tabs based on my chat inputs- That was 
almost instant!)

Hi, sorry I have to break it out to you like this. The application's main tabs 
are carefully named for future expansion in mind. That said, the order of the 
tabs were recently reviewed to follow a more logical flow: Users start with 
"Hotkeys" to "Capture" and do some "Actions" and send them to their preferred 
"Destinations" which you can later go back through "History". 

"Actions" was chosen because the scope of the applications here are not just 
for editing the images (that was what it was for earlier). You can now use an 
external uploader e.g. PuTTy to have the file passed and upload to a SSH FTP 
Server. 

"Destinations" was chosen because that's the final destination of the uploaded 
file.

"local destinations such as clipboard and local file are not dealt with here" - 
you/me don't know that. It might be in the future. The tabs are not going to be 
renamed again from "Upload" to something else when the scope changes.

Ah, from your perspective this is fine. It is just the question of how much one 
knows about the design policy and future milestones. 

Here, the balance is between "Fitting to current reality" vs. "keeping the 
future path in mind". since you know the future shape of ZS, you would be able 
to take a better call. :)

Cheers
