Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

During translation of musicvideophotos template in ubuntu-doc package (jaunty) I found incorrect description of PhotoPrint appliaction (Section 3.4.2 Advanced Photo Printing). Please look at the Point 3 that says "To change the amount of spacing between photos, change the Horizontal and Vertical settings under Gutters". I can't see such
options in the photoprint (0.3.9), but instead I found Gap options under Layout, where I can set a free space between photos.

Based on Changelog from PhotoPrint webpage (http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/photoprint_news.shtml) it looks like user interface has been reorganized since 0.3.7 release and now some settings are on different place.
Since Jaunty repesitory contains PhotoPrint 0.3.9, correct description for it should be read (for example) as follows:

"To change the amount of spacing between photos, change the Gap settings next to Columns and Rows under Layout"

I already fixed this in our Polish translation (see https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ubuntu-docs/+pots/musicvideophotos/pl/115/+translate), but other translations (I checked Spanish and German for example) have reference to original English text, which is incorrect.

patch applied, thanks Connor.

I'm not sure this is pressing enough to fix in Jaunty, but I'm willing to listen to reasoning to the contrary :)

The best reason I can think of to qualify this bug for SRU is that the section that was updated is core to the functionality of the program - it is one of the primary poritions on the application's main interface. That said, using the program seems pretty obvious to me, so it's just a matter of whether you want the GUI's updated interface documented in Jaunty. Also, the program does not come installed out-of-the-box.

I don't have a strong opinion either way.

In my opinion it is not so important to apply this to Jaunty, but it would nice to see up-to-date documentation both in English and other languages. As Connor mentioned, application is quite easy and even beginner should find new option, becuase it is obviously for native english speakers. But non-english speakers could be confused with this. That is the reason why I've changed this string in Polish template of musicvideophotos.

So, I think we can include the patch to the Jaunty (I know of course about String Freezy time). I already announced this to Ubuntu Translators list (see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-translators/2009-April/002287.html) and I know that Spanish team and our Polish already modified wrong string to correct one.

Thank you.
