Nautilus terminology



Hi all,

Phil asked on IRC, then disappeared. Here's how I've been
referring to Nautilus in the help.

If I want to refer to it generically (most of the time),
I use "the file manager", all lowercase, no <app> tag.
For example, "Click <gui>Trash</gui> in the sidebar of
the file manager."

If I want to refer to it as an application, such as when
telling users how to open it, I refer to it as "the Files
application", putting <app> around Files. For example,
"Open the <app>Files</app> application from the
<gui>Activities</gui> overview."

It appears as Files in the overview, so that's what I'm
using as the specific application name. But for normal
prose, I prefer to refer to it generically as the file
manager.
