Help with the naming of Anytype's 'List'

[Code-Jack]

@kaye this topic was already heavily discussed earlier.

“List” would be really terrible choice, for many reasons.
I strongly suggest to name the thing “Listbox”.

I’ve explained the reasons for example here:

Feedback about the 0.42.28 pre-release

I wrote it already often in other threads, but I argue once more against the term “List”. The team should name the thing “Listbox”. “A Listbox shows a list.” That sentence makes sense. But: “A List shows a list.” That sentence looks strange. Also the side menu shows a list of entries. Not to be confused with a List that also shows a list … PLEASE dear team, use only unique names for Objects! “Listbox” would be such a unique and also precise name. It’s impossible to become confused w…

Prospective renaming of Collections & Sets; topic continuation

Thanks for your kind word @GrayArc ! Seems you sense it how I feel. I’m in deed on the edge to give up, simply in the name of peace and for not appearing stubborn. Unfortunately I have not the impression. There were too many comments from users for whom the name “List” is OK. I wasn’t able to let them see the difference between a print and the thing which prints (a printer). It seems there is a different thinking in countries with different languages. German is precise. Everything must b…

I foresee a lot confusion if the thing gets the name “List”. I can already imagine posts from new users in this style: “I have a list that misses entries …”
– Many posts later comes out, that he didn’t speak about the combined Collection/Query-thing, but about something totally different, for example the list of Tags in a Multi-Select. Or a numbered list in the editor.

Also think about the search function in this forum!
If someone looks for a solution and he uses the forum search.
“List” is a much too general term; you’ll find endless irrelevant posts that contain this term!
– I urge you: please give the thing a unique name that can’t be confused with anything else!

“Listbox”:

1. Fulfills this criteria.
2. Is a nice short term.
3. Is also a “speaking name” – a newcomer doesn’t need to think a lot about its function.
   It’s a box in which you’ll see lists. The name says that.
4. Once understood, it’ impossible to forget what it means and what the thing does. – This is important for getting newcomers quickly “on board” (before they give up, overwhelmed by the complexity and the many things to lern).
