I'm currently doing some redesign of the help system. I've already prepared some things, and would like to know if someone disagrees with the things I've already done.


While you are at it: Does the current scheme of having the real help
under help/help Overview...FAQ instead of help/Overview...help/FAQ
really make sense? I don't think so, but my gtk-knowledge (or lack
thereof) has stopped my attempt at changing this.

Hi Jï¿œrg!

When I understand you correct, you suggest to have lots of seperated menu entries? I wouldn't agree with that.

The topics Overview...Capture Filters should reside in a Help/Help Contents item, just like today.

The Help submenu structure (when finished) I currently see would be:

Help Contents
Supported Protocols
FAQ
-----------------------
About Plugins
About Contributors
About Ethereal

I'm not sure if the entry "Supported Protocols" better would be an "About protocols" entry.
