Description Jean-Pierre Boucher 2022-10-31 09:36:00 UTC

SUMMARY
***
G'MIC-Qt's buttons are not documented in the manual, and the Inpainting documentation doesn't match any product enhancement tools
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Try to understand the G'MIC buttons with digiKam Manual
2. Nothing in the Manual
3.  But there is a description of an "Inpainting" improvement tool that doesn't exist in the product ???
4. .... Fortunately the internal documentation of G'IMC-Qt is clear and complete

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no documentation on the buttons of the G'MIC-Qt enhancement tool
The "Inpainting" documentation doesn't correspond at any enhancement tool 

EXPECTED RESULT
G'MIC-Qt enhancement tool buttons  correctly documented

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 Family
digiKam V4.8.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am in the process of translating the entire manual into French (with screenshots of the French version of the product), still a short month of work but there are many shortcomings and inconsistencies (problems of updating versions). I am nevertheless delighted with the product despite its shortcomings and its needs for improvement I will continue again and again to annoy you to achieve perfection ;-)

We have some things in the documentation that are missing or out of date. The documentation should be written by someone who speaks and writes native English. Unfortunately, writing documentation also seems to be very boring and there are few interested people.

G'MIC is an external tool, the G'MIC team is responsible for the documentation or online help.

Inpainting tool is now available in extra plugin named GMic-Qt from digiKam Image Editor and Showfoto:
