quads - What is the meaning?

[angel herraez]

Hello
In the latest update, the IdentifyForms file contains several entries with "quads".
Can anyone explain what are these?

Thanks

Hello, angel herraez

Ah yes, that could be a tad confusing without seeing the tools. It is a short form of the term "quadrangle": https://www.google.com/search?q=quadrangle+meaning
Specifically they are used with a new "Correct scans" feature:

Effectively, it means the whole shape and all borders defined at the same time.

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Sure, thank you

I'd suggest that you avoid shortened terms if you are hoping for good international translations.

Hello, angel herraez

I agree, and we spoke with the dev team about it today.

The term here will be changing to "Edge-Boxes" in the future. It should be fixed in the next version of the translation tool.
Very sorry for the confusion here - and thank you for the honest feedback!
Normally the Dev team passes new feature text by our Writing team for clarity, and it seems this one was added just before the translation tool was built, so it was missed in the process.

Kind regards,
