<p>Thanks Harrissou and Jörn,</p>
<p>Good to see all these previous discussions. Seems like everyone
agrees that "Style Manager" has to be renamed but we don't have a
good alternative yet. As Nyall said in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2765">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2765</a>, "Symbol Manager" is not
correct either. <br>
</p>
<p>We're looking for an umbrella term that covers: symbols, color
ramps, text formats, label settings, legend patch shapes, and 3D
symbols.</p>
<p>We use "resources" in the Resource Manager, however that's for
"Symbology (SVG, images, styles), Processing scripts, Processing
models, R scripts and checklists" (according to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis_resource_sharing/">https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/qgis_resource_sharing/</a>).</p>
<p>Brainstorming:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cartography Resources</li>
<li>Visual Library</li>
<li>Design Manager</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
<p>What do you think about "design"?</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Anita<br>

<br>
I also recently had a confusion between style/style: I wanted to
write the documentation for the new feature "Save all styles" and
first searched for it in the style manger (also because the issue
has the tag "style manager" ... ;-) ). The new feature, however,
makes it possible to save several styles from the layer properties
dialog as QML/SLD files or in a db [1].
<br>
<br>
Now we are in a discussion how to separate this styles in the
chapter (all layer properties) and the style manager (symbols
only) [2]. Renaming the style manager might help …

The inconsistent use of the word "style" is indeed an issue and
confusing. It was raised years ago in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/qgis/qgis3_UIX_discussion/issues/16">https://github.com/qgis/qgis3_UIX_discussion/issues/16</a> (and
probably in QGIS repo but hard to find) with an attempt of fix
at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2765">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2765</a> (you'll find some
answers to your suggestion of symbol manager).
<br>
<br>
Maybe the time has come for the cleanup...?

<br>
The terms "style" and "symbol" are used somewhat
inconsistently in the
<br>
QGIS application and on the QGIS hub website. For example, in
Settings |
<br>
Style Manager the users actually manage symbols. On the hub,
the
<br>
"styles" page allows sharing symbol definitions (XML) but not
styles (QML).
<br>
<br>
This later inconsistency is confusing, i.e. it confused me
when I wanted
<br>
to share a QML file and realized that I cannot.
<br>
<br>
I think it would be worthwhile to strive for more consistency
and to
<br>
rename the Style Manager because it really is a symbol
manager. It's
<br>
Import/Export functionality deals with XML symbols and not QML
styles.
<br>
<br>
What do you think?
<br>
