Re: [Audacity-quality] bug in manual

[Bill W. <bi...@go...>]

Vaughan:

Ouch! Good catch. There's quite a few of those cases throughout the manual since the Edit menu was reorganized. For example Edit > Split Cut is now Edit > Remove Audio > Split Cut.

Technically it may be a P1 - "function incorrectly documented"
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/ToDo

Actually, the function is correctly documented on the Edit Menu page
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Edit_Menu
but users may find it confusing that the menu sequences in cases like this do not correspond to what they see when they pull down the Edit menu.

The following pages have similar errors:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Generate_Menu
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Keyboard_Shortcut_Reference
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Label_Tracks
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Splitting_a_recording_into_separate_tracks
http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Sync-Locked_Tracks

There may be more.

I'd like to fix these, but it's your call if you think it is worth another release cycle.
