"Image" button in the left side bar is not intuitive as canvas settings

[suhankins]

I spent a really long time trying to figure out how do I change the size of canvas until I found an issue here where someone mentioned it's the "Image" button in left sidebar.

I think it's very unintuitive for a few reasons:

1. It's next to and in the same color as render and export, causing me to assume it too relates to exporting.
2. I don't believe calling editing space "Image" is obvious, as it sounds like it relates to image that you will render. I think term "Canvas" would be more appropriate.

IMHO term "Workspace" is also a good candidate.

I also feel like 'Workspace' could be a better name for that. Is there some prior art of how other softwares call that?

In MagicaVoxel it's just called "Model size". Qubicle seems to call it "Matrix".
In pretty much all 2D graphics software it's called "Canvas".

agree. i vote for canvas.

The problem with 'canvas' is that in French, this would be translated as 'Toile', and it doesn't really make sense. Maybe 'Model size' is actually the best, or just 'Size' ? The icon should probably be a kind of box too.

Size, worksize, or something similar would be good.
