Change Details

This simple patch does nothing but change the heading for the File Browser section "Favorites" to "Bookmarks": {F9605533} We **currently** use the term "bookmark" to describe these items all over the place, both internally (the name of the section, list, all accessor functions) and externally. When there are no bookmarks we are **NOW** showing a big button to "Add Bookmark" {F10166309} In current master, hover over the "+" to add a new one and the tooltip says "Add a Bookmark". You also "Remove Bookmark", "Move Bookmark", or select "Delete all invalid bookmarks" from the "Bookmarks Specials" menu. {F10166310} So having the section heading call them "Favorites" is confusing when we are using "bookmarks" literally //everywhere else//. The "Bookmark" term is a better cross-platform description of what these are. It matches the ubiquitous usage for the similar feature in web browsers. And linguistically it is a better fit as these aren't my favorites, they are just items I have specifically marked for easy retrieval later.

If we don't wish to make this small change to the heading, then the alternative is to change all the user-facing text to "favorite" consistently.
