remove "bitmap" from Inkscape entirely, please
Migrated from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1807517
I want to suggest removing the word "bitmap" from Inkscape, from the program as well as documentation, and replacing with "raster". Specifically,
- Edit menu > Make a bitmap copy
- Path menu > Trace Bitmap
- any other places, I can't think of them all
Possibly "Make a bitmap copy" could be changed to "Make a PNG image"? But for Trace Bitmap, "Trace Raster" is probably better.
The reason is because Windows users confuse it with the file format BMP (bitmap). Yes, I realize "bitmap" has traditionally been used to refer to raster formats, but it's confused with BMP.
(I've actually answered questions in forums where the users report that they first convert their JPG to BMP. Then they use Edit menu > Make a bitmap copy. And then finally, they use Trace Bitmap.)
Thank you very much!
