GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 670678
User docs mention "Scientific mode"
Last modified: 2012-03-28 00:23:27 UTC
The following help pages mention the "scientific" mode: trigonometry.page number-display.page mouse.page scientific.page 6.3.5 does not provide that mode anymore, looks like it was merged into Advanced mode (though I cannot find a git commit for that)?
If a maintainer answered my question I could even fix this. :P
Yes, scientific mode was merged into advanced mode in 5.31.1, please fix :) http://git.gnome.org/browse/gcalctool/commit/?id=6a2897ea1b6f899922a0d4acaa112cada99a7f89
I have edited the documents however I am not sure of how to create a patch file and upload it. If someone can guide me that would be great! Gopal
Created attachment 210596 [details] Mention of scientific mode removed and advanced mode description fixed Removed scientific mode and added the trigonometric page link into advanced mode by saying: "such as trigonometric" after advanced mathematics.
^ edited mouse.page and removed mentions of scientific. Also no other mentions of scientific mode was seen. The others pages mentioned link to scientific notation which still exists. Also I could not make this into a patch so if someone could convert into one or help me that would be great
Hi Gopal, thanks for the file! It seems to be a new version of mouse.page. However we need this as a patch (a file that shows the differences) and we must update all the four files that I listed in comment 0 - see https://live.gnome.org/Git/Developers#Contributing_patches
Ooops, sorry, I didn't read comment 5. I see... so please ignore most of my last comment, but we still need a patch, preferably with "git format-patch". :)
^Oh okay, well I am trying to figure that part out. Once I do get that I will submit it. In the meantime the edited mouse page I attached it...
Created attachment 210712 [details] [review] Patched mouse and trignometry Final Patch file that has patched trignometry and mouse pages.
Review of attachment 210712 [details] [review]: Great, thanks for the git formatted patch! ::: help/C/mouse.page @@ +20,3 @@ <tr> <td><p>Advanced</p></td> + <td><p>Provides buttons suitable for advanced mathematics such as <link xref="trigonometry"></p></td> <link> is missing the closing tag. You can test this yourself for example by running "yelp ." (with space and dot) in the subfolder /help/C/ in your checkout of gcalctool.
Created attachment 210714 [details] [review] Fixed the trignometry link Fixed trigonometry link. I do not know how to rebase yet since I am knew to patching so I uploaded the trigonometry link fix as a second patch file.
^Thanks for pointing it out Andre. Still knew here..
Review of attachment 210714 [details] [review]: This works.
Hi Gopal, I took both your commits, squashed them into one, and pushed them to the master branch. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gcalctool/commit/?id=ddf2d4ad74e2b153ebed6310f071e3f306c1fefe Thanks for the fix!
^Ooh Thanks Tiffany for confirming that!
