A list of possible typos in Application Developer Manual
Last modified: 2010-07-01 18:59:50 UTC
Here is a list of possible typos I found during reading this manual. "events can be synchronised", while everywhere "synchronized" variant is used: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-intro-basics-communication.html What is the meaning of this phrase: "application against the uninstalled location."? Here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-helloworld-compilerun.html "a specific stream-property related to progress tracking", maybe unnecessary dash? Here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/chapter-queryevents.html#section-querying "XVImageSink", I think it should be "XvImageSink", here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-interfaces-proprobe.html "all plugins that implement a typefinder. when one of the typefinders recognizes the stream", I think that "When" should start with capital letter, here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-typefinding.html "can set the GOBject property", "GObject" should be, here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-dparams-parameters.html "will disable color debugging You can also set", dot is missing; "Note that if you are disabling color purely to avoid messing up your pager output, trying using less -R.", strange sentence, maybe there should be "try" instead of "trying"? All is here: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-checklist-debug.html
> "events can be synchronised", while everywhere "synchronized" variant is used: > http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-intro-basics-communication.htm Yeah, well, I don't think I'm not going to start "fixing" American English vs. British English spelling, seems a bit pointless. > What is the meaning of this phrase: "application against the uninstalled > location."? Here: > http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-helloworld-compilerun.html Looks like a copy'n'paste artifact. Fixed. > "a specific stream-property related to progress tracking", maybe unnecessary > dash? Here: > http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/chapter-queryevents.html#section-querying Agreed, fixed. > "XVImageSink", I think it should be "XvImageSink", here: > http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-interfaces-proprobe.html Changed to XVideo, that seemed more consistent. > "all plugins that implement a typefinder. when one of the typefinders > recognizes the stream", I think that "When" should start with capital letter, > here: > http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-typefinding.html Fixed. > "can set the GOBject property", "GObject" should be, here: > http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-dparams-parameters.html Fixed. > "will disable color debugging You can also set", dot is missing; "Note that if > you are disabling color purely to avoid messing up your pager output, trying > using less -R.", strange sentence, maybe there should be "try" instead of > "trying"? All is here: > http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-checklist-debug.html Fixed and Fixed. commit 2f149355cd449e7f3a653103c4b8d26204e92226 Author: Tim-Philipp Müller <tim.muller@collabora.co.uk> Date: Thu Jul 1 19:58:09 2010 +0100 docs: fix a couple of typos in the manual Spotted by Alexander Saprykin.
