[Solaris] Inconsistencies in options shown in help manual and actual app
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Tested on Sun's Gnome 2.0 Beta 2 Build 3 version on a Solaris 9 Sparc machine. Reviewed Eog Manual ver 2.0 and found the following mismatch between the explanation in the online help manual and the actual GUI. 1) Sec 3.1: To Open an Image 1. File->Open Image – No such Option. 2) Sec 3.2: To Manipulate the View of an Image Instead of ‘View->Zoom to Default’, it is ‘View-> Zoom 1:1’ 3) Sec 3.4 :To close an Image Instead of File -> Exit, it is File->Quit 4)Sec 4 : Settings Instead of ‘Settings->Preferences’, it is ‘Edit->Preferences...’ 5) Sec 4.1: Display The manual shows only three options, viz. 1.Nearest neighbor 2. Bilinear 3. Hyperbolic The 'Tiles'option is missing in the help docs 6) Sec 4.1: Display - Transparency type Instead of Transparency type, it is ‘check type’ 7) Sec 4.1: Display- Two-pass scrolling 'Two-pass scrolling'- No such option 8) Sec 4.2.1: Image Windows Viewers- Image windows -No such option 9)Sec 4.2.2: Full Screen The manual shows the following options: 1. Use scrollbars (never, only if image does not fit) 2. Use 1:1 zoom factor 3. Use same zoom factor as image window 4. Fit all images to screen 5. Fit standard-sized images to screen 6. Put a bevel around the edge of the screen But the eog app shows only a single 'Full screen' option. 10) Link broken in 'Settings->Display’ (Sec 4.1) and also in 'Viewers- >Image (sec 4.2.1) windows. (Click on 'previous' link it displays the 'About this document' page.)
I will review the comments against the latest version of the online help and update the manual accordingly.
I've updated the EOG manual to correct all of the above problems except for item 5. RE: item 5 - Federico indicated before that the "Tiles" option doesn't make sense for EOG so it shouldn't be there. Is this option going to be removed? If not, can someone provide me with a brief description of the Tiles option? You can mail me separately.
For the record: In version 1.1.0 (was released yesterday and is targetted for Gnome 2.2) the whole preference settings were reworked and are completely different than in all previous versions. The comments above are only valid for the 1.0.x series.
I've updated the EOG manual to V2.3 and submitted it to CVS HEAD. The manual reflects EOG V1.0.2 and will be revised at a later date to reflect V1.1.x changes. Item 10 of this bug report is a Yelp/gtk2html issue.
I'm going to close this, then; Mamatha, please open a bug against gtkhtml for the link problem if there is not one already. [I'm pretty sure there is :) Irene: thanks as always.
