Yeah Harald, that crossed my mind also - but my guess is that someone
else developed the "Spectacle" application and either didn't like the
"KSnapshot" name or wasn't allowed to use it. Contrast that with Google
who can't seem to settle for a name: e.g. Google Talk, Hangouts,
Messenger, Allo, Duo, Android Messages

projects like KDE *really* should introduce rules that shitty application names which don't give anybody a clue about what the applications is supposed to do are prohibited, especially when consider ot replace knowen and logical named ones

I understand your point - but many of the good names are probably already taken for something. Remember the issues Firefox had... first it was Phoenix, then it was Firebird, then it was Firefox - which was sufficiently obscure. Probably one of the last thing the KDE team wants to deal with is a copyright infringement claim.
