Cgeo: Rename "spoiler image"

Created on 13 Sep 2016  路  6Comments  路  Source: cgeo/cgeo

We got a complaint from a user who expected a spoiler image at the end of the cache description. Actually even gc.com does not write "spoiler images" anymore above the list of attached images.

Renaming to "Attached images" would be the correct wording IMHO.
Still I would keep it in the section "Hint" of the cache description tab as users are used to finding it there.

I agree with @Lineflyer . All that needs to be done is a simple reword of the string.

I must admit I neither get the original complaint (posted by @SammysHP) nor do I understand why you want to rename stuff. Spoiler is a long established term (not only in geocaching) which indicates that this really gives you a clue and you should not read it/look at it, if you want to solve the riddle on your own. "Attached images" could be anything, i.e. a spoiler image or a harmless (no spoiler) image.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing or overlooking, since everyone else agreed?

It is the fact that this item does not only contain spoilers but maybe also other needed images from the listing....simply everything what is attached to the listing by the owner.

Geocaching.com doesn't distinguish between Spoiler and "normal" images. So from this point of view they are just images.
But opencaching does distinguish them: e.g. https://www.opencaching.de/viewcache.php?wp=OC1EE5
So we could handle them differently here.

Some GC geocache owner name real spoiler images something with "spoiler", but I don't know if this is good enough for c:geo to "guess" it.

As there was no clear consent / no clear preference, I will close here unchanged.
