            Bug ID: 312841
           Summary: importwizard.desktop use "Name=Import Wizard", which
                    is a quite generic name and does not give users much
                    hint.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kdepim
           Version: GIT (master)
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: importwizard
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Currently the menu item is just shown as barely "Import Wizard". I think that
has a few problems:

1. too generic to be meaningful. What kinds of thing(s) does it import:
pictures, music, documents or whatever?  Users do not have any clue until
runing it.

2. Which application installs that menu item ? Again, users do not have any
clue until running it.

3. That does not go well with freedesktop specs. "Name=" is for specific names
like "Gwenview" and "KMail", while "Import Wizard" sounds quite generic.

So I would suggest using a more specific and informational name, like "KMail
Import Wizard".

Actually, even importwizard.desktiop and the importwizard executable themselves
are also too generic. But those are less visible compared to this "Name=Import
Wizard".


Reproducible: Always
