Summary0014819: Easier to find volume rendering display options
DescriptionThe volume rendering options in the display part of the properties panel should be renamed to make them easier to use. Specifically, you should be able to type "volume" in the search box at the top of the properties panel and get all relevant options. Here are the problems I have found:

When rendering an image data, the algorithm is set with a property named "Volume Rendering Mode", which is good. But there is also a Shade option that is pretty much impossible to find unless you scroll through the whole list of options. Either the name should have volume added to it or, better yet, when a string matches the label of a group of options, that whole group should be shown.

When rendering unstructured data, the option is called "Select Mapper", which is not something most users should be expected to understand and find. Plus, this option is only available when volume rendering is on whereas for image data the option is always there. I don't know which is better, but the behavior should be consistent, shouldn't it?
