Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.92) Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package OS: Linux Open Window decorations module in Control center. There's a '?' icon which displays a bubble with help. The second line from bottom says Use the "Whats this"... IMO it should be "What's this"
I can't find the string you're referring to. Can you describe more fully where it is?
Ok, the icon and the text i'm referrring to is at more places. Open kcontrol - appearance & themes - background. In top right corner there is blue '?' icon. Click on it and there is bubble help. Watch the second line from bottom. It is in kde 3.5, not in 3.4.
I have found these - I can add them to my list for next week's typo fixes: ./messages/kdebase/kcontrol.po:"<p>Use the \"Whats This\" (Shift+F1) to get help on specific options.</p>" ./messages/kdebase/kcontrol.po:"<p>Use the \"Whats This\" (Shift+F1) to get help on specific options.</p>" ./messages/kdebase/kcmkonq.po:"Use the \"Whats This?\" (Shift+F1) to get help on specific options." ./messages/kdebase/kcmkonq.po:"Use the \"Whats This?\" (Shift+F1) to get help on specific options." ./messages/kdebase/kcmkonq.po:"Use the \"Whats This?\" (Shift+F1) to get help on specific options." ./messages/kdebase/kcmkonq.po:"Use the \"Whats This?\" (Shift+F1) to get help on specific options." ./messages/kdewebdev/quanta.po:msgid "See 'Whats this\" for available variables" ./messages/kdewebdev/quanta.po:msgstr "See 'Whats this\" for available variables" ./docmessages/koffice/kword.po:msgid "Whats This?"
I should have scanned po templates. This is the correct list: ./messages/kdebase/kcontrol.pot:"<p>Use the \"Whats This\" (Shift+F1) to get help on specific " ./messages/kdebase/kcmkonq.pot:"Use the \"Whats This?\" (Shift+F1) to get help on specific options." ./messages/kdebase/kcmkonq.pot:"Use the \"Whats This?\" (Shift+F1) to get help on specific options." ./messages/kdewebdev/quanta.pot:msgid "See 'Whats this\" for available variables" ./docmessages/koffice/kword.pot:msgid "Whats This?" ./docmessages/kdegames/kspaceduel.pot:msgid "Whats This Help" ./docmessages/kdegames/kbackgammon.pot:msgid "Whats This Help" ./docmessages/kdeutils/KRegExpEditor.pot:"drawing program. The second Toolbar contains the <emphasis>whats this</emphasis> "
Malcom: so will you do it before 29th December?
I've done the GUI fixes in stable. Doing a more extensive search, I have identified 43 of the 65 instances in docs that need fixing. Is it feasible to create an entity for these?
I would say in the branch probably not, or at least not without caution, because we can't use it in edu/extragear/pim/or anything else that wants to be 3.4 compatible, and in trunk: definitely yes.
It seems this has all been taken care of. I have gone through the documentation and none of the "Whats" are there, and the "What's This" has been fixed in everything KControl that I have seen. If this issue is still present, then I urge you to go ahead and reopen this report. Thanks!
