[kde-doc-english] skanlite interface vs. on-line manual

[Kåre Särs]

Hi,

I feel a bit guilty here... I have not updated the documentation in a very 
long time :(

The solution for this problem is "right click" -> "Clear selections".


If there is somebody interested in maintaining the documentation for Skanlite 
I would not mind :) Writing documentation is not one of my strengths...

I'll fix this documentation bug asap.

The "saved" selections are not intuitive enough and need some love :) I'll 
look into it.

Regards,
  Kåre
