[Gambas-user] Some thoughts on Gambas3

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

This weekend, I had some time playing around with brandnew baby Gambas 
3.0 :-) and found some features of the help worth to be enhanced.

A) It's nice to have help browsers at several places (in the editor, for 
the toolbox and for the help) that access the texts from the wiki, but 
we have a poor WiFi in the house, and when my internet connection is 
down I'll see no help at all (I'm also thinking of our holiday in Sweden 
in summer, when we have no constant internet connection). So some sort 
of "basic local help repo" would be useful, maybe the current version 
from the date the tar-file was made. Or some monthly archive which can 
be downloaded separately by those who wish it.

B) In the toolbox help window, you cannot access forth and back, and 
when you click on a link there, it will jump to that page and you have 
no way to get back. Maybe links should be blocked here, or we need extra 
buttons.

C) There are a lot of dead links in the help which say "This ... is not 
included in 3.0", but when you go there directly, the page IS there. 
Sorry I can't give you any example, it's on my laptop at home.

D) It would be nice to have an indication of the library the object is 
contained in. For example, I don't know which library contains 
ScrollArea, and from the wiki main pages, I don't see any way of 
accessing these chapters directly.

That's about the most important stuff, now it's time for lunch :-)
