The images in the help area have three problems: 1. Some are out of date 2. Some refer to the Netscape product (should only contain Mozilla.org graphics) 3. They are all GIF, when we should probably use PNG, if only out of principal. We need take new screenshots, using just the Mozilla product, and save as .png.

It would be nice if the chrome that the screenshots depict could be flagged, so if it changes, someone or thing is notified that the screenshot needs to be updated.

If this bug is only referring to screenshots in the help area, why is it listed as blocking bug 8415?

This belongs in documentation > user and all the images need updated to not be NS-specific. Help is not chrome so removing blocker.

moving stuff over to an outside-the-firewall email for the time being, looking for people to pick these Help and doc bugs up for me.

--> me I'll have this fixed for 1.6a

--> Browser: Help

I converted all images to PNG for the dutch translation ... Do you want me to send them to you? I can also supply you with a patch to change all image source in the documents accordingly.

Daniel, you posted GIFs to bug 161740. Can you get these images in PNG (also, it looks like you missed some, but not sure)? Are you willing to take this on?

Martijn Ras: That would be great if you could attach the images/changes (or email if you want)!

*** Bug 211651 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

--> daniel wang Since he's doing the new Help images.

I changed some of the file names to make them easier to understand: old file names new file names -------------------------------------------------- anchor-in-doc.gif composer_anchor-in-doc.png bullets.gif composer_bullets.png composer_icon.gif task_composer.png flag.gif mail_flag.png flag_column.gif mail_flag_column.png image.gif composer_image.png link.gif composer_link.png mailicon.gif task_mail.png newmail.gif task_newmail.png newmailicon.gif mail_newmail_alert.png numbers.gif composer_numbers.png personalbar.gif locationbar.png read.gif mail_read.png unread.gif mail_unread.png read_column.gif mail_read_column.png reload.gif nav_bar.png search.gif search-locationbar.png searchmusic.gif search-sidebar.png table.gif composer_table.png these files keep their original names (except file extension): frown.gif columns.gif help_nav.gif help_print.gif key.gif offline.gif online.gif sick.gif personaltoolbar.gif sidebarclosed_small.gif smile.gif tabbed_browsing_bar.gif taskbar-ab.gif taskbar.gif threadbutton.gif wink.gif these files need to be removed: pen.gif search_personal_toolbar.gif

Comment on attachment 138511 [details] png versions r=rlk@trfenv.com on the images, but you need to make a patch that updates the jar.mn file and the image locations.

part 1 jar.mn update oh, btw we don't need these, they were never used key.png personaltoolbar.png

Comment on attachment 138760 [details] [diff] [review] jar.mn update part I r=rlk@trfenv.com, but do not checkin this patch until links are updated in the help docs.

>oh, btw we don't need these, they were never used > key.png > personaltoolbar.png oops, I misnamed a file. We do need personalbar.png, rlk, please rename personaltoolbar.png to personalbar.png when you check in the png files

Comment on attachment 138770 [details] [diff] [review] jar.mn update part I rv1 rlk, the patch can be checked in safely. I did not remove references to old image files that are still in use. I'll tell you when you can remove the .gif files.

Comment on attachment 138770 [details] [diff] [review] jar.mn update part I rv1 Not sure why I was requested on this but as it's only a 1-line change on the previous patch with r+...

Is this fixed? Can the references to the images in the help files be updated?

As far as I can see, this was never checked in. Is it still valid?

(In reply to comment #20) > As far as I can see, this was never checked in. Is it still valid? I've looked at the zip file. A lot of images do not apply anymore, a few are (supposedly) going to replace smaller sized images (optimized gifs/pngs checked in through the years) and a few are still good ones. The problem is that talking with KaiRo over IRC it is late for inclusion in 1.1 final, and most if not all of the images should be redone for the new theme still in the works for trunk/1.5/suiterunner. Personally, I'd like to see at least some images (for example the ones removing references to NS) go in, but I don't think the council would agree. OTOH, In localized builds (or langpacks) it is pretty easy to at least replace them anyway...

The big plan was to get rid of all images in Help in favour of XUL - bug 249744. But before that we need to split Help in separate components (MailNews, Composer etc) - bug 305142...

Could this bug be superseded by bug 373459?
