GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 378266
Help for "Section 10.9. Ripple" has several typos
Last modified: 2006-11-27 15:24:12 UTC
The English help section for Section 10.9. Ripple has many typographical errors. I am using the online help in Fedora Core 6's gimp-2.2.13-1.fc6.rpm. I have confirmed that these typos also exist at in the most recent online documentation at http://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-ripple.html Typo #1: Screenshot The screenshot does not match what I see, but it's close enough. Typo #2: Section 10.9.1, Paragraph 1 "found in Image->Filters/Distorts/Rippel..." ^^ Should be: "found in Image->Filters/Distorts/Ripple..." Typo #3: Section 10.9.2. Borders. The title of the subsection is called "Borders", but the screenshot shows that it is really called "Edges". Typo #4: Section 10.9.2. Borders. Paragraph 1 "Because of ripples, that are a pixel displacement, some pixels..." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This sentence feels awkward. Is this that you were going for: Because ripples cause pixel displacement, some pixels may be missing on the image sides: Typo #5: Section 10.9.2. Borders. Paragraph 2 The paragraph is not in English. Typo #6: Section 10.9.2. Periode. The word "Period" is twice misspelled as "Periode".
As I was using Gimp more, I noticed many more similar typos in other sections of the Help manual, as well as formatting inconsistencies across the manual. I don't know the best way to report a long list of errata. When you're ready to fix this bug and if you're interested in the other typos, let me know and I'll proofread the rest of the manual.
The best thing you can do is to check out the user manual from CVS, fix the errors and provide patches. You might want to join the gimp-docs mailing-list for further questions.
