hi guys

i took a stab at carving up the monolithic quickstart guide, have a look at:

  http://www.kdenlive.org/node/1463

i also started a screen-by-screen walkthrough of the latest SVN version 0.7.4+ 
and stuck it under the reference manual stub.

  http://www.kdenlive.org/node/1462


feedback is welcome!



some notes from this mornings editing:

 - there seem to be some nodes i can't edit, eg: /node/71, not sure if this
   is intentional or a problem with doc editor role permissions

 - using the image module to preview pictures works great for the web, but
   the pdf printer chokes on the img links:

     TCPDF ERROR: Image file has no extension and no type was specified:
     /home/www/8864acea003f2354834d936830f18e43/web/image/view/1475/preview

 - navigation around the book is pretty slow without the book contents
   available in dhtml_menu mode. the manual would be a lot more usable if
   the book navigation block was visible on book pages, and the dhtml_menu
   module was installed.

 - similarly, could the "active forum" and "recent blog" and "whos online"
   blocks be limited to <front>? they are great on the landing page, but
   once you drill into the site, the book navigation becomes a much better
   use of left hand screen real estate

 - also, the search box should probably be near the top somewhere instead of
   bottom left...

 - adding links to screen shots is a bit repetitive in the markup, but not
   too bad. i think flexifilter might be able to streamline this, will play
   around with it on my drupal and let you know if i find something good.

 - also, enabling bulk image imports would be nice for batches of screenshots!

 - we should probably come up with some coherent CSS class/id structure
   soonish....

 - maybe wishful thinking here, but down the road it would be nice to have
   a scripted kdenlive session with automatic screen grabs of the relevant
   windows.  is there a way to do this in KDE?

thanks
ray
