Description Gabor Kelemen 2011-07-05 13:45:21 UTC
#: C/search.page:114(p)
For more information on performing more complex search queries, see the 
<link xref=\"adv-search\"/> page.

This link points to a non-existing page, perhaps it would be better to remove this sentence for now.


The help/C/legal.xml file is rather just a stub, and it is not linked from the index page. Also, not a .page file either, so not translatable.


The manage-coverart.page lacks content entirely, yet it is listed among the topics, should be removed until it gets some real content.
Comment 1 Kat 2013-05-14 21:20:55 UTC
Thanks for the bug Gabor! I fixed the link in commit e463c927ab3d9008a5c60276c504c74f4d6f8c3d alongside a whole bunch of other broken links.

I would prefer to see keyboard-shortcuts left in as it does contain a list of keyboard shortcuts.

While you update these pages, can you please update the page title capitalisation? They should all use "sentence capitalisation" (British English title capitalisation).

legal.xml is complete enough at this moment. The lack of links is slightly
problematic: ideally every author needs to be contacted and should give their
explicit permission for their work to be licensed under that license.

The patch is fine. Please improve the commit title: it should contain "bug 654006" in it and the page IDs were not broken, you *improved* them.

Thanks for the review, Kat. :)

Modified manage-playlists, sort and import pages

I have changed some content in these pages because of differences in the gui elements and need for some spell checking.

It would be awesome if someone reviewed this and marked it okay to be pushed to master. :)

Review of attachment 244636 [details] [review]:

manage-playlists.page is way too long, I recommend splitting it into one page per section. Either have an index#playlist section or a playlist landing page. Explain your reasoning for choosing the one that you do.

Review of attachment 244785 [details] [review]:

It would be more appropriate to split manage-playlists.page in a commit of its own and then to make your changes in another commit. This way, it will be easier to trace what you are doing through the history.

Please try to keep the page naming at least somewhat hierarchical: for example, name pages about playlists "playlist-*something*.page". You also need to check if banshee has a playlist dialog with a help button: if it does, you need to check that the link still works.

Calling a directory a "folder" and then referring to "sub-directories" is a bit confusing as both are types or "directory" or "folder": stick to either "folder" or "directory". I personally prefer "directory", but "folder" is more user friendly.

"within the specified folder" or "within a specific folder". Think of the first as "the folder that you chose" and the latter as "whichever folder you happen to chose".

"prompted" is not a nice word, reword. Use consistent wording for this throughout the page.

Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
