Description Anders Jonsson 2016-06-13 22:19:54 UTC 
Hi,
i saw 4 strings in the help for baobab that can be improved. Will supply a patch for the first three, but on the fourth I'm not sure what is meant.


1. "Not having access to all files and directories is perfectly common thought so there is nothing you can do about this error."

Looks like "thought" should be "though", possible followed by a comma.


2."The speed required to scan a folder or a remote location depends on"

Here I would say that it's the "time required to scan".


3. "Move your mouse over the rings chart displays more details about the folder and subfolders."

This feels strange grammatically, one solution is replacing "Move" with "Moving".


4: C/problem-permissions.page:37 "On the other hand, filesystem disk usage on the use command <cmd>df</cmd> for disk utilisation on the main window which relies on the filesystem and not on file permissions."

This string I can't quite parse. Is some word missing?

My guess would be:

"On the other hand, data on filesystem disk usage uses the command <cmd>df</cmd> which relies on the filesystem and not on file permissions."

Sounds good to me.
