File to replace the Window List help with a redirect to the User Guide (1.07 KB, patch)

Description Karderio 2007-03-08 00:58:39 UTC
Hi :o)

When you right click the Window List and select "Help", you get a
Window List specific help document. GDP policy would however have core
functionality such as this covered in the GNOME User Guide
(GUG).

I have made a patch on Bug 415887 to merge the Window List manual into the GUG. 

I'm attaching a patch to have the Window List show help from the GUG. The patch also covers the help button in the preferences dialog. This should be applied after the documentation patch in Bug 415887 (I'll do my best to hurry this through).

It would be great to have this solved for 2.20. (Help files are never covered by string freezes and the sort btw)

Love, Karderio.

This replaces the Window List help file (window-list.xml) with an error and a redirect if any references to it persist (this should never happen).

The legal.xml should also be deleted.

I don't think it's necessary to replace the help file with the new one.

This is for 2.19/2.20, and not 2.18, right?

Hi :o)

At the GNOME documentation project, we have a policy of always providing fallback links to deleted documentation sections. We can remove the file in a couple of release cycles, in the mean time it could help catch any bugs, as other documentation could potentially be linking to this. I ran this by Shaun McCance before proposing this file. It is not essential however ;)

I was hoping to get this in for 2.18.

Love, Karderio.

I've added the redirect documents. Don't forget to remove them in the future (I really think they can be removed for 2.20).
