Pascal, I know that you prefer to have more information on every page. You already told us that if you could put all the documentation in one big HTML file to search with CTRL-F, you'd have it. All that is said in this presentation will be contained in one page, entitled **Scid for the Impatient** and will help satisfy those like you.
I repeat that this tutorial is not geared towards über-geeks. Once you're familliar with installing and running softwares, all there is to know at first is on the menu, usually. The tutorial should help those that are not as fluent with softwares. The pages are almost presentation slides, really. And they should be looking like that : it's a guided tour ! That does not mean that this will be the approach for Scid's Guide to Maintenance. It might be more concentrated, since all there is to know about windows, activity, filtering, etc. has already been covered. The only interesting part in writing this tutorial is that it is helping me build up a taxonomy of concepts that underlies everything that needs to be told in the help pages. Personally, I hate when one makes me read about a piece of software I don't even know I will use. So having a guided tour like that makes me click a lot, but on the other hand it makes me understand what Scid is all about without having to read, well, almost. The only reason why I read Scid's tutorial is because I needed to know what was already covered, if one needs to know my rough impression of it. But the point is that, besides my personal impression, there is this fact that Scid's actual tutorial breaks about every rules of usability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
