Screenshots for images help

posts: 1

When adding screenshots to documentation, what standards should we use?

Should we use tw.o? Should we include all 3 columns?

Also, when uploading images to the wiki pages, they get inserted as picture file= instead of the recommended img src=

Any way we can change the default action of the image upload to put in img src instead of picture file?

Thanks.

picture tag take no argument but is better because it's not parsed for cached images. wiki_up/ images should use picture tag.

I adjusted layout so widthis 608px, so 600ps width screenshot fit perfectly. Image cropping or resizing can be alternated, but a good crop is better for quality. Just don't crop to fit with the object, take corners and parts ofr borders of te environment to suggest it's included in a whole.

About theme, well, yes, as far as possible let's stick on tw.o moreneat look.

hey, thanks for your work ! 😊

As an aside regarding screenshots in general, do you know about TechSmith's "SnagIt" application for taking screenshots? This is a great little app that really helps. Also, for file naming consistency, I use the "superb batch renamer" app. Google for these and check them out - they're great if you're on Windows.
