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
You don't need to know the name of an application which pop ups when you press
"Print".
but i need to know it when i have to fix existing setups whre "print"
after update don't work - there are people who don#t reinstall their
machines and profiles for many years
No need to think about strange reasons. You can follow the story, which was
open and publicly discussed. This is the start of the Spectacle (KScreenGenie,
initially) and the reason to write a new program (which uses relevant parts of
the old code).

This is the discussion about the renaming:

KScreenGenie at least would not have been pointless
Apart from this, please don't use "shitty" and "idiotic" anymore here, even
if referred to a name. This is just an opinion and it may likely not be
generally shared
since it's an opionion it *does not need* to be shared because thats the
nature of opinions and *no* i do not write a 500 lines large parapgraph
when a simpel word clearly describes my opinion - otherwise i would have
become a politican and not a IT guy
