我想到兩個理由,它們是否算「好」理由由您決定:
1.) 如果您從「特定」名稱重新命名為「通用」名稱,您會失去資訊。我的資料夾目前名為 PT8,這告訴我它最初(很可能)是用 Paratext 8 建立的,而且我可能會在裡面找到一些源自 Paratext 8 的特定內容,這些內容可能不再適用於 Paratext 9。您也可以看出我不喜歡在複雜專案的根目錄使用長路徑。
新的 PT 概念似乎是,您從 Paratext n 開始,可以在同一數據上更新一個或多個世代。因此,對於技術人員和支援人員來說,能夠一眼看出本地「歷史」的深度可能會很有幫助。
2.) 第二個理由:每個變更都帶有固有的危險,這些危險通常在變更之前甚至剛完成變更時都不明顯。
幾天前,我們在這裡討論了 PT 圖示,我個人的結論是,圖示應該完全移除,因為大家同意它們無法有效溝通,需要被「學習」。因此,它們只是佔用了寶貴的螢幕空間。對我來說很清楚,像移除所有圖示這樣深層的變更聽起來很棒,但很可能會在日後造成一些預料之外的麻煩。目前不值得這樣做;我沒有繼續追這個話題。
問問自己或其他用戶,重新命名 PT 專案資料夾實際能帶來什麼好處 ,而不是問「為什麼不?」。俗話說「不要動一個運作的系統」是有道理的。(哎呀,我現在聽起來好老。)(如果未來出現一個全新的 PT 世代,包含所有那些令人驚嘆的新想法,例如沒有圖示、對鍵盤友善的人體工學設計,我希望那時我能抽出時間來協助測試。)
Two reasons come to mind, whether they are “good” is for you to decide:
1.) If you rename from “specific” to “generic” you lose information. My folder is presently called PT8 and that is telling me that it was initially created (most likely) with Paratext8 and that I might find some specific stuff inside that originated from Paratext8 and might no longer apply to Paratext9. You can also tell that I do not like long paths at the root of complex projects.
The new PT concept seems to be that you start with Paratextn and can update for one or more generations on the same data. So for technicians and support staff it might be helpful to know the depth of the local “history” at a glance.
2.) Second reason: Every change has got inherent dangers, that are typically not obvious before or even right after the change is made.
A few days ago, we discussed PT icons here and my personal conclusion was that icons should be removed altogether because people agree that they do not communicate and need to be “learnt”. So they just take precious screen space. It is clear to me that such a deep change like removing all icons sounds great but will most likely cause some unexpected trouble down the road. Not worth it at the moment; I did not persue the subject.
Ask yourself or other users what actual benefits you would gain from the renaming of the PT projects folder, rather than “why not?”. There is wisdom in the saying “never touch a system”. (Oh bother, I sound old now.)(If there ever is a new radical generation of PT with all those amazing new ideas included, like no icons, keyboard-friendly-ergonomics, then I hope it falls into a phase, when I can make some time to help with testing.)
