[TC10.50b8] Help Index - Select duplicates under Archives

Post by *white »

The following archive related entries in Help Index open a dialog where you can choose form several Help pages.
  • Archives
  • ARJ
  • CAB
  • GZ
  • LHA
  • LZH
  • Pack
  • RAR
  • TAR
  • UC2
  • ZIP
Among the pages to choose from is the page:
  • "Dialog box: Select duplicate files"
This page seems out of place. Has selecting files in a search for duplicates results list have anything to do with archives? Am I missing something?

By the way, the page "Test archives" should be added for the index entries "Archives" and "LHA". It is listed for all other entries.

I don't remember why they are listed as keywords - maybe because the duplicate file finder also works within archives? For now I will leave them there.

That doesn't make sense. If selecting duplicates is included because it works for archives too, then normal selecting should definitely be included as well, and searching, and ...

Rather than including things that also work in archives, you should include things that only apply to archives.

Well, if we would go through the help index like this we would never come to an end...

Plenty of work to be done because of long time neglect, that's true. Wouldn't take forever though.

I have looked through the index and made a few more fixes. But there are certainly a lot left I missed.
