The mistake of mixing this happned IMHO in Bug 796855 - Bringing Chapter 3 of Help into Chapter 2 of Guide That mentions a discussion on devel, which is not linked there. IIRC there is a bunch of bugs, where none of use including me obeyed above classification. The duplication of the chapter happened in the following way: While Geert fixed the broken links of David T.s "move chapter", I applied your Bug 796856 - Help Ch6 section added for importing from files. When Geert applied David T.s & his work, your improvement disappered and in a quickfix - we were short before a release.- I reset the chapter to your version. So we got Help: old import chapter + David Cousen patches Guide: old import chapter + David T. patches Am Fr., 16.

IMHO the textual putty between the GUI elements (if you press button A window B will appear...) still belongs into the manual. The Tutorial could go through an example session and the Guide could mention it describing, how to reach higher targets. > Geert did a good job of incorporating the essentials in > the popup help dialog in the interface and making it largely self > documented, that it becomes almost superfluous to describe the interface > separately, Yeah, funny thing to have this separate mini help. In theory one could move the whole help back into the code, but that would have other drawbacks. > but there are always those to whom the help button is invisible. > I will give it a go though. > > David Frank _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
