We agree that similar functions should have the similar commands. We will fix the inconsistencies if you pinpoint us the ones.
rename, make, import, ... are available for one type of list but not always for the other
Please elaborate.
CopySelectedElementFromList, TetList in the new DiffusionFramework both create new lists from existing geometry lists....
TetList in the diffusion framework use geometry information from a tet list. This tet list can either be type of geometry or a FE formulation. It uses the FULL tet list. CopySelectedElementFromList only uses the ones of interest. They are different enough to be two keywords.
CopySelectedElementFromList, ImportNodeList both copy other lists and append them ...
The first one is copying geometry information of selected elements to construct new elements, the second is referencing another whole node list, there is no copying. They are different enough to be two keywords.
