Description Mike 2005-08-28 21:20:36 UTC
Documentation bug
Section: gimp/2.0/help/en/ch05s02s02.html
Some of the pages of the help system need some proofreading or grammar-checking.
 A couple examples:

"The delay set the time during the layer is visible in the animation. The
combination mode set if you combine with the previous layer or replace it: the
two modes are (combine) or (replace)." (Blue "Tip" box)

"Keep transparency: If you check this option the transparent areas of the layer
will be keeped, this even if you have checked the Fill transparent areas option
for the Bucket fill tool." (the 2nd bullet after the blue tip box)

The following are under the "Layer management" section:
"Edit layer attributs: You can change here" => "Edit layer attributes: Here you
can change"
"You can create here" => "Here you can create" (New Layer, Duplicate Layer)
"You can here move" => "Here you can move" (Raise Layer, Lower Layer)
"You can here delete" => "Here you can delete" (Delete Layer)

"You can also put the layer down into Toolbox" => Maybe: "You can also put the
layer down into *the* Toolbox" (2nd-last paragraph at end of the page)



Correct version:
"The delay sets the time during which the layer is visible in the animation. The
combination mode sets whether you combine the layer with the previous layer or
replace it: the two modes are (combine) or (replace)."

"Keep transparency: If you check this option the transparent areas of the layer
will be kept, even if you have checked the Fill transparent areas option for the
Bucket fill tool."

It would help a lot if you could download the source for the help files (module
gimp-help-2 in CVS) and prepare a patch with the suggested changes. Do you think
you could do that?
Comment 2 Róman Joost 2005-09-05 12:49:46 UTC
We should probably make it more clear, that the help system needs proof reading.
We already aware of the bunch of grammar errors. If you're not able to checkout
the sources, I'm glad to add your fixes. It'll be very appreciated if you can
provide more fixes for errors you're spotting.
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2005-09-08 15:29:26 UTC
Roman, did you fix these errors in the meantime so that the report can be closed?
Comment 4 Róman Joost 2005-09-12 11:11:38 UTC
Yes, fixed now:
