> Public bug reported:
>
> Openshot v1.4.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx, installed via PPA.
> (Older version previously installed via Synaptic and removed with
> "Complete Removal".)
>
> I've just been reading the Help files, as a newcomer and "documentation
> enthusiast" :-)  Some things caught my attention, so I thought I'd flag
> them up.  A few are about the actual information, some are just typos.
>
> a) None of my "help" file was pictures - it was all text & tables.
> Sometimes it refers to illustrations, so I guess there ought to have
> been some...?
>
> b) Part 4.1 Overview.
>
> Item 2 - Function Tabs - the text is "Copy text          Switch between
> Project Files, Transitions, and Effects."
> Item 3 - Project Files - the text is "Switch between Project Files,
> Transitions, and Effects."
>
> This looks to me like a leftover of some updating or something :-)
>
> c) Part 6.9 Save Project screen.
>
> Item 3 - Project Length - the text is "The maximum length of the
> timeline.  However, the length of the timeline will automatically grow,
> if and when clips exceed the length."
>
> I'm not sure what this means.  If the clips exceed _this_ length, it
> isn't the maximum, is it?  I'm thinking maybe you must mean something
> like "The length of the timeline will automatically grow as you add
> clips, up to this maximum."  (If that _is_ what you mean, you might want
> another sentence which says what happens if you try to add a clip beyond
> the maximum length.)
>
> d) Import Files – Audio, Video, and Images
>
> I'd have liked to be told here whether the files I import will be saved
> as part of the project, or whether the project is simply referring to
> files external to itself.
>
> e) Part 12.2. Only the Audio.
>
> A minor proof-reading point:  in "click the eye  icon on the track", you
> have two spaces in between "eye" and "icon".
>
> f) 14.5. Speed Tab
>
> "The advanced tab let's you set...":  should be "lets".
>
> g) 15.3. Manually
>
> "The following properties are affected by key-frames:  Height, Wight, X,
> Y, and Alpha."  Is there such a thing as "Wight" that I've never heard
> of, or is that a typo for "Width"?
>
> h) 18.4.3. Animate Each Title
>
> "(as show in the illustration)":  should be "shown".  (But as I said

>
> i) Upload Video
>

> format with YouTube first, or it might not work correctly."
>
> I'm guessing the Vimeo option was added later?  I suggest "Choose a
