You’re welcome to add this if you like. This will mean that the section will wrap around on a new page. I tried to keep the text in each section short enough to fit on one page.
Well, if the idea is that the Guide is actually supposed to be a community-aided effort (apart from translations), then I’ll certainly go over some chapters and try to help out.
I assumed that it was meant as read-only, as to not get a mix of writing styles and possible misinformation in it, creating more work for you in the end (having to double-check everything).
Case in point, I wouldn’t have known that the sections were to fit on one page each.You’re welcome to add text about features that are not fully described in the guide. I may eventually revise the text so that it sounds like the same broken English I use throughout the guide 😛
thcinnahoj, if you add or change something from the chapters of:
-Projects
-Project windows
-Project start page
Let’s me know, because I’ve those translated to spanish and I want to keep them in sync with english version, text&pictures. If I don’t know what’s changing, I’m dead. I’ll translate the Browser Window chapter in one or two days too.

In case someone doesn’t know:
Clicking the “Recent changes” button at the upper left corner on the wiki site will show if there are changes to any of the wiki pages. Clicking the “Old revisions” button at the upper right corner shows the revision history for the current page. Clicking the glasses symbol on the revision page will show only the changes that have been made to a page.
I have updated all dialog screenshots in these two chapters:
http://www.zynewave.com/wiki/doku.php?id=guide:preferences
http://www.zynewave.com/wiki/doku.php?id=guide:editor_profiles
The text in those chapters are not up to date with the screenshots. In case some of you want to get your feet wet with wiki editing, this would be the easiest place to start. Some of the dialog settings on those two pages probably don’t need an explanation, but if you find something in the dialogs that you think should be explained, you could add an empty bullet point for the settings. I’ll then go over them later on and fill in the missing text.
A bullet point is written as space+space+asterisk+space and then the text.
Bold text is surrounded by double asterisks. An example:
* **Show sequence event headers**: blabla.Don’t worry if you mess something up. Changes can always be undone.
LiquidProj3ctYes I didn’t know that :]
thcilnnahojWow, I took a longer look at the Guide this evening, and it’s really outdated. 😯
I’ve taken a shot at rewriting most of the toolbars chapter. There’re a few things I couldn’t think of a good way to explain. Those are marked with “FIXME” icons – I’ll try to fill them in tomorrow if nobody comes up with anything.
I’m also not yet entirely sure about formatting conventions and what should be capitalized – will take a look at the already existing chapters tomorrow to find out more. More screenshots are on the way, too.
Edit: Heh, totally forgot the track toolbar… 🙂 – also coming soon. Good night!

Oooh, we need to coordinate our efforts. I’ve spent the day rewriting the toolbars chapter (offline). 😳
I’ll take a look at what you have changed, and sync it with my changes. I hadn’t yet grabbed screenshots of the toolbars, so it’s cool you added those 8) . To avoid redundant work, it’s best if you don’t add further changes to that chapter. I’ve already written a section for the track toolbar as well.
The coming week I’ll probably revise some of the other pages in the main “Editors” chapter. If you announce in a post here if you are going to revise a certain chapter, then we could avoid doing double work.

Many thanks.
There are some hints about guide conventions here:

😳 indeed! It looked like you were updating chapters in the order they appeared, so I thought I was safe starting somewhere in the middle! 😆

I’ll do that – but maybe a new topic (in the VIP lounge?) would be in order as to not bump an older preview thread. For now, I’ll try to replace all old screenshots I can find.
Thanks for the link to the conventions page.

I think it’s ok to keep posting about guide updates in this topic, until I create a new preview topic.
Thanks for the screenshots 🙂
ZynewaveThe toolbars chapter rewrite is now done:
http://www.zynewave.com/wiki/doku.php?id=guide:toolbars
I’m currently writing on a couple of new editor chapters with the titles: “Zooming & Sliding” and “Editor Menus”.
thcilnnahojYou really weren’t kidding about using lists more often! 🙂
I’ll take your suggestion and have a look at the preferences chapter, then.
ZynewaveCompleted a new chapter:
http://www.zynewave.com/wiki/doku.php?id=guide:sliding_zooming
Anyone wants to add screenshots to go with the text in this chapter? (Nudge, nudge. :wink:)
LiquidProj3ctIt seems a quick task not as translating… I would do it, but no idea about how 😳

Click a profile button or press the 1-9 number keys to select a profile. You can also select a profile from the list in the View menu.
Question: should numeric pad keys work switching profiles? I ask this because numeric pad’s + and – keys doesn’t work with spanish keyboards, you must use the numbers keys that are above letters ones.
thcilnnahojThe numpad keys are used to move the edit cursor!
7/9: move to previous/next marker or loop/punch/segment region start/end
4/6: move by grid value
1/3: move to selection start/end

I’ve added two, though I’m not sure if the scrollbar shot is needed. Just remove it if you think it isn’t. I also thought it made more sense to show the navigator & snapshot buttons together in one shot.
I originally took a shot of a generic edit toolbar for the toolbars chapter, but since you’ve described the track menu, maybe it should again be updated…
LiquidProj3ctThanks thcil, then everything is ok 🙂

I think it’s ok as it is. I’ved added “Only available in the arrangement editor.” to the track menu button description.
