Because the changed functionality made the other term not fit anymore.

So you're saying it would be better if we had an entry "Playlists" that people would expect to behave like the "Playlists" entry on other players / software but behaves differently? Seriously?


--- Quote ---The menu operation was changed to be the same as typical OFs. So at that point the menu had the same operation and the same name as typical OFs. Fine.

Wrong. It didn't behave as "typical OFs".


--- Quote ---And this new name it is inconsistent with other menus. The files menu is named Files, not File Catalog. The plugins menu is named Plugs not Plugin Catalogue.
--- End quote ---

This is completely nonsense. Rockbox uses the term "Playlist Catalogue" for a specific functionality. The same way it uses the term "Files" for a specific functionality. This doesn't make things inconsistent.


--- Quote ---So, I'm interested to hear what (if any) is the good reason for having this menu labelled Playlist Catalogue, rather than Playlist as originally on RB and currently on other players.
--- End quote ---

Because "Playlist Catalogue" behaves differently. AlexP already said that.

Seriously, are you trying to piss of people? You're asking stupid and annoying questions in the worst way possible. That way you waste people's time, time that could be spent better for doing things like fixing bugs or addressing real issues. Or maybe even drinking beer :)

I've actually come to the conclusion that it's the world's most intricate trolling operation and we've all been taken in.
