[Feature] Rename Auto Crop zoom mode — it is cover-zoom, not a crop #1523
Description
What problem does this solve?
Player zoom mode Auto Crop is cover-zoom: it scales the coded frame to fill the window and clips overflow (BoxFit.cover / resizeAspectFill). It does not detect or remove encoded letterbox bars. The name already oversells what it does.
Proposed solution
Copy-only rename of the zoom-mode label and description so it is clearly fill/cover zoom, not bar detection.
Do not change zoom behavior.
Surfaces that say Auto Crop today:
lib/l10n/app_en.arb—autoCrop,settingsPlayerZoomDescription- Settings → Video playback → Player zoom mode
- Player OSD zoom cycle / toast (
l10n.autoCrop) - tvOS
ZoomModeraw value /displayName("Auto Crop") - iOS / macOS zoom wire (
autoCrop,Auto Crop)
Leave the ZoomMode.autoCrop enum name unless a follow-up wants a code rename. English source first; Weblate already translates autoCrop.
Agree the new English label before shipping it.
Platform
All / Not platform-specific
Alternatives considered
- Keep Auto Crop. The current name is already wrong.
- Rename the enum (
autoCrop→fill/cover). More churn than this issue needs.
Additional context
Related closed: #858 (Auto Crop preference not applying). That was behavior, not naming.
