[RFC] UI: Rename "photos"/"images" to a term covering videos as well

[Stefan Fuchs]

Hello,

thanks to Berthold we have the video "lite" support in master now. As a
reference please see:
https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/pull/1463

Now I think we should adapt the UI in a way that we rename almost every
occurrence of the term "photos" and "images" to s.th. which covers
images and videos.
What do you think? How should we adapt it?

I tried to quickly extract a list of relevant strings from Transifex.
Not sure that I already catched everything. English plus German
translations:

Verschobene Bilder finden

Nur Bilder von ausgewÀhlten TauchgÀng(en) berÌcksichtigen

That's quite a few strings. And I'm not sure if there is a generic term that captures what we are looking for.
In a way, util / unless we actually play videos, it's still just "pictures" and "thumbnails", right?
Writing "pictures/videos" is very awkward... I don't really have a bright idea here

There is a proposal now using "media" and "media files":

Yes, „media“ was also the first idea I had. What do you think, can we simply use „media“ standalone in every case or should we write „media file(s)“ in some cases like in „Match only media files in selected dive(s)“?

What do the others think?

Best regards

Given Stefan's list, I'm not sure that this is perfect in all cases:

"Find moved media": Sounds to me like it would search for missing USB sticks?
"Found %1 media...": Perhaps better "Found %1 files...".

In German, we could use "Multimedia" or "Multimediadateien", the latter being
a bit unwieldy.

This is tougher than I would have expected.
