Description Burkhard Lück 2006-02-11 10:49:49 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Hi Sander,

great documentation!

found some typos and "unvisible" screenshots, svn diff follows

Some problems / questions:

In the tutorial in section "A Small selections and layers tutorial" 
you write:
The image above is the image we will work with. Save it to disk 
(by right-clicking on it and choosing Save Image As...)

This does not work in khelpcenter, only if you generate the documentation 
as html files and view them in konqueror :(

Is it possible to provide a link to this image in the docbook?

Chapter 4. Selections
Later you can subtract from the selection with say the select-eraser.

I don't understand this sentence, -v please

Created attachment 14636 [details]
patch for sander

fixed some typos.
 
Chapter 7 Command Reference -> Dialogs
fixed the image names to display all missing screenshots

Please provide the image you used in the screenshots (New Adjustment Layer
dialog, 
Brightness / Contrast dialog, Bumpmap dialog etc)
in section Command Reference - Dialogs for the translators
Comment 2 Burkhard Lück 2006-02-11 10:58:31 UTC
Created attachment 14637 [details]
new screenshot as example for Chapter 5 Filters

Chapter 5 Filters
would be a nice improvement to display original and filtered image 
side by side as shown in my attachment.

Is it possible to display two images side by side in a kde docbook?
I couldn't find a way to do this, so I created a new image
crocusses-bumpmap.png
Comment 3 Sander Koning 2006-02-11 16:25:36 UTC
Thanks! I've got a lot of comments by our famous Natalie which I'll append to this report to keep all stuff in one place.

I don't know. If there is a way to do so other than to use a URL to some external server (which will definitely be outdated at some point), tell me!

should perhaps be rewritten to something like
"Later on, you can subtract areas from the selection by using, for example, the Erase Selection tool"

> Please provide the image you used in the screenshots (New Adjustment Layer 
> dialog, Brightness / Contrast dialog, Bumpmap dialog etc)

Where's the best way to do so?

1. Tutorial "A Small selections and layers tutorial" 
perhaps change 
The image above is the image we will work with. Save it to disk 
(by right-clicking on it and choosing Save Image As...)
to
The image above is the image we will work with. Start krita with this 
image (in the documentation folder $KDEDIR/share/doc/HTML/en/krita/tutorial-select-layer-sample.png)
and save it to your Home folder (by choosing Save Image As...).

Perhaps the user needs an explanation about $KDEDIR?
I have no idea how to provide a link in the docbook to start krita with a certain image:(

2. 
>> Please provide the image you used in the screenshots (New Adjustment Layer 
>> dialog, Brightness / Contrast dialog, Bumpmap dialog etc) 
>> in section Command Reference - Dialogs for the translators 

>Where's the best way to do so?

Put a README.SCREENSHOTS and the *.png's into kritas documentation folder?

3.  Chapter 5 Filters display 
original and filtered image side by side

If you like this idea, I could take the necessary screenshots

Please apply my patch (id=14636) to get visible screenshots

SVN commit 549298 by skoning:

Finally fix Burkhard's bug report :)
Well, almost... the side-by-side screenshots still have to be made, but that's coming up.
