"Help" file: typos/errors/inconsistencies/etc...

[j_c_hallgren]

Due to looking at wiki, I noticed a few minor things in embedded Help file that may need a tweak:
1) In 'Info Preview/ Preview Tab', it states "Here you get three sorts of multimedia file previews: Image preview, Audio/Video preview, and Font preview"; however, there IS a fourth preview listed at bottom, which is Web & Office...so shouldn't that be included in summary at top?

2) In same section, is it possible to have a smaller font size for sub-topics of "A/V: Supported file fmts" and "ID3 tag editing"? Since they are part of the four preview types, and not one themselves.

3) 'Image preview' says "Depending on the image format you get various informations:"...Information has no plural, so just remove the "s"..

4) 'Font preview' has "often need a bunch fonts for some one-time quick
job"...I'd suggest this wording instead: "often need a number of fonts for a quick one-time job"...

5) 'Web & Office preview' has
"Preview for web files with the following extensions:
.htm.html.shtml.mht.php.php3.php4.php5.asp.xml.swf.svg.svgz.url.pdf.
Also previewed are Office files with the following extensions:
.doc.dot.rtf.xls.csv.ppt."

I think these extension lists need some commas and separation, such as
".doc, .dot, .rtf, .xls, .csv and .ppt"...or at least a space between them!

Thanks, man! This kind of correction is always welcome. I guess English speaking people are used to a lot of wrong usage of their mother tongue because almost every person on the planet speaks some (her) sort of English. But still those things in the help file will not really attract new customers...

Don, just so you know...your English is as good as, and better than most folks over here who didn't do all that great in school!
And English was MY worst subject in school, just so you know!

Thus, I'd say: IF one didn't know you weren't an American citizen, it would be hard to tell from your writing! I'll commend you again on your language skills

Most of these items were very minor, and keeping the documentation updated is always the last thing us programmers want to do!

Let's try and keep this thread active for any other minor bugs found in Help, so we don't clutter up forum, ok?

[admin]

Yeah, let's keep it active!

Another minor change that could improve it for newbies...(and I remember having a problem find this back when):

I'd move this TIP under "Preview Tab" as it applies to entire tab:
"To enlarge or shrink the display area, use the horizontal splitter (the 3 pixel high zone right above the Info Panel)."

....and...maybe say instead, something like:
"To enlarge or shrink the display area, use the horizontal splitter, which is the line located just above the Info Panel tabs, and below the status area for the list. When positioned on the splitter, your cursor will become double headed arrows."

Addendum:
1) "Both previews " in 'PT'? Maybe ALL previews, as there are four!
2) "Here you get three sorts of multimedia file previews": I'd suggest "Here you get one of the following types of ...."
