1 Grabbing Screenshots for TortoiseGit Docs
\r
2 =========================================
\r
3 This file is a guide to grabbing screenshots for the user manual.
\r
4 Although there are not many hard and fast rules, some screenshots need
\r
5 care to set up as they are demonstrating a range of features.
\r
7 To help with consistency, some of these instructions are presented
\r
8 as a TortoiseGitProc.exe command line. These assume that the TGit
\r
9 bin directory is in the PATH and that you have a doc folder checked
\r
10 out at D:\TortoiseGit\Doc. Adjust the path according to your location.
\r
12 From the images directory you can simply run adjustimages to check all
\r
13 images in all languages - it could take a long time. You can check
\r
14 specific languages or images using a single parameter, eg.
\r
15 adjustimages en\*.png
\r
16 adjustimages en\Rev*.png
\r
19 General rules for all screenshots
\r
20 =================================
\r
