Rename "Personality" to "Profile"

[takeshimiya]

Hi! I think that the "personality" term is a bit strange and can be changed to "profile", which is the term used by other apps (Mozilla, KDevelop, Office, etc).
"Personality" seemed to cause confusion as stated in this post.

On a personal note, I think I like more the term personality, but the first time I heard about "personality", I thought "what the ** is that??"
But the term "profile" is widely used in almost all programs.

So, what do you think?

Rather than strange, I find the term personality special. The first time I saw it, I felt curious and look at the wiki article. As written in a previous post (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=1377.msg11560#msg11560) personality give C::B something special and personal .

I agree on that, but it seems that new users will want a "profile" functionality and will not found it.

Yes, this is the negative aspect . May be it could be useful to add personalities to the feature list on the C::B website and explains shortly what they are. For example:

Personalites: C::B profiles representing different sets of settings each tailored for a different workflow.

This could help new users to get the idea, I think.

So all this means is that adding an alias command-line option "--profile" (synonym to "--personality")will make you all happy?

From my side, yes .

For me it's the same.

I only wanted to note that the term is not newbie-friendly.

OK, the change is in HEAD (rev. 1493).
