Misc user help issues in gThumb 3.6 (partly due to new gtk3 interface)
Hello, I just translated gThumb 3.6 + help in Dutch and found several issues, some of them related to the new gtk3 interface. I'll list them here.
Using gThumb 3.6.1 on Xubuntu 18.04/64-bit.
-
in Help file: "To access the editing tools, open an image and then click the
<gui>Edit File</gui>
toolbar button (the palette icon)." Must be: brush icon -
"If you exit the editing mode (by pressing
<key>Esc</key>
or the<gui>View the Folders</gui>
toolbar button)..."
View the folders button? Where? -
"To rename the images click on
<gui>Rename</gui>
."
Where is Rename? (right mouse / F2 do work) -
Help file: "Enhance Colors
This tool provides automatic white balance correction. No user adjustments are required."
So why are there three options? -
The English version of gThumb calls that Adjust Contrast.
Suggestion: Adjust Contrast.
This tool provides three ways to enhance the contrast of the photo. -
Help file: Color Adjustments
where is Equalize? -
Help: "You can enable or disable extensions using
<guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Extensions</gui></guiseq>
".
Must be: Edit-button, Preferences, Extensions -
Help: "Pressing
<key>Escape</key>
will exit the viewer mode, and return the user to the browser mode. A toolbar button (<gui>View the folders</gui>
) is also provided for this purpose."
View the folders: does not exist. -
Help: "To print the current image in the viewer mode, use
<guiseq><gui>File</gui><gui>Print</gui></guiseq>
".
File - Print does not exist; must be Ctrl+P or right-click mouse - Print -
Help: "
<gui>Equalize</gui>
".
This tool provides automatic histogram equalization.
Does not exist. -
Help Red eye: if you are fiendishly clever, love matrix algebra and open source software, please
<link href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/gthumb/development">submit a patch!</link>
That page does not exist. Must be .../Apps/Gthumb/dev... -
"The
<gui>Layout</gui>
tab provides some additional gThumb -specific options."
There's no layout tab, though there's an option Layout under Export - Image wall. Is that what is meant? -
Starting slideshow: "or by clicking
<guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Slideshow</gui></guiseq>
."
Where's that? -
Help:
<guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Slideshow</gui></guiseq>
Where is Edit? And must be: Edit - Preferences - Viewer -
Help: "To copy a file in the browser view, use
<guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Copy</gui></guiseq>
"
Edit - Copy does not exist, just say Ctrl+C -
Please update the screenshots in the Help file to the new dark interface (users can be lost by seeing screenshots that do not match their software). Replace the screenshot in "Browsing your files" (that dates from 2007!) to something that shows 2018.
