Description dominik.baumann 2012-08-17 02:37:55 UTC
help:/kcontrol/windowbehaviour/index.html#action-moving still offers the options for "Display content in moving/resizing windows".

But these options have been dropped and don't exist anymore, resp. replaced with a desktop effect plugin: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=98800
Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2012-08-17 09:38:22 UTC
Would you mind updating this yourself and to provide the patch? Looking at it the section is completely outdated (e.g. mentioning of fast computer).
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2012-08-18 06:44:20 UTC
The documentation file can be found in the kde-workspace git repository under the following path:
kde-workspace.git/doc/kcontrol/windowbehaviour/index.docbook

Link to repository: http://quickgit.kde.org/index.php?p=kde-workspace.git&a=summary
Comment 3 dominik.baumann 2012-08-23 19:03:46 UTC
There [1] i only see the obsolete documentation from kde-help-center. What i need are the tooltip help texts of the systemsettings in kde-4.8.4/opensuse-12.2-RC2.

Sorry, but i can't find them.

Comment 4 Martin Flöser 2012-08-23 19:09:27 UTC
which tooltips exactly? screenshot will help to find it :-)
Comment 5 dominik.baumann 2012-08-23 19:26:55 UTC
Like this one: http://susepaste.org/view/raw/42719601
Comment 6 Martin Flöser 2012-08-23 19:34:46 UTC
this option is still correct and working (at least I hope so)
Comment 7 Thomas Lübking 2012-08-23 20:10:59 UTC
Yes is - visual result however also depends on the effect configuration if you're using compositing (ie. it's possible to only show resizing or even suspend the effect with a shortcut)

> this option is still correct and working (at least I hope so)

You mean the option "displaying the geometry"? 
That's not what i mean (look at my original post).
I want to transfer the tooltip text to the obsolete kde help center.
Comment 9 Thomas Lübking 2012-08-23 21:15:12 UTC
You hopefully look for

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-workspace/repository/revisions/master/entry/kwin/kcmkwin/kwinoptions/windows.cpp#L810

or i'm completely lost...
Comment 10 dominik.baumann 2013-02-27 22:08:08 UTC
Finally i found the tooltips in kwin/kcmkwin/kwinoptions/moving.ui and the khelpcenter texts in ./doc/kcontrol/windowbehaviour/index.docbook.

I updated the latter with the tooltips.

Here is the patch: http://paste.kde.org/683606/

Before applying this patch, please consider that i'm familiar neither with bugs/kde nor kde-help, patching generally or git specially.

The patch should work this way:

cd kde-workspace/doc/kcontrol/windowbehaviour
patch < patch-file
Comment 11 Martin Flöser 2013-02-28 08:07:59 UTC
could you please get in contact with the documentation team? I'm not familiar enough with docbook. Google tells me the mailing list is kde-doc-english@kde.org
Comment 12 Martin Flöser 2013-05-18 18:43:54 UTC
do you have any update about it? Feature freeze (and with that documentation freeze) is approaching.
