I'll try to make a fix. It might be complicated than just renaming the texts since I also want to rename the corresponding key ( |

My vote is to change to "Show" as well. It looks like another case of "Show in Finder" functionality, but due to the limited space and use of block character font it makes sense to shorten it to one word - to avoid ambiguity about the bounds of the button/link. |
Slightly unrelated, but thought this was helpful: guidelines for the use of "Show" vs. "Reveal" vs "Indicate" in research papers:
Maybe Apple's original thought was that using "reveal" instead of "show" would help indicate that it would involve going outside the current application. But the word itself didn't lend anything to indicate that, other than being different; the user would have to learn that over time, and it wasn't a feature which had common enough use for that to be worthwhile. |
This is fixed in the released version of IINA. |
System and IINA version:
Not sure when it happened, but the standard English language label for this functionality appears to be "Show in Finder", not "Reveal in Finder". IINA should be updated to match.
Examples:
Expected behavior:
Preferences > Key Bindings has a button labeled "Show config file in Finder".
File > Playback History -> (right-click on a row in Player History window) > context menu has an item labelled "Show in Finder"
Preferences > Plugins has a button labeled "Show in Finder"
Actual behavior:
Preferences > Key Bindings has a button labeled "Reveal config file in Finder"
File > Playback History -> (right-click on a row in Player History window) > context menu has an item labelled "Reveal in Finder"
Preferences > Plugins has a button labeled "Reveal in Finder"
