Hi,
I've been working through the extensions in updating my book and have the following comments:
- The release notes uses "Extensions" while the menu label in the GUI
is "Effects".
We probably need a quick style guide on how to use the terminology in a consistent way which isn't too confusing if the terminology is not already explained in the Wiki or Help documentation. To add to your troubles there is an outstanding request to change the menu lable to Effect (make it a look like a verb in the vocative(?) form) but I've not provided a patch for that yet.
Extract one image:
Dialog is confusing. It asks for "Path to save image". I initially
Path is a technical term and given how Inkscape uses the term Path for other purposes it would be less confusing to use the term Location or Address. (I think the Gnome Guidelines recommed the term Location, if i recall correctly.)
Sincerely
