Grabbing Screenshots for TortoiseGit Docs

=========================================

This file is a guide to grabbing screenshots for the user manual.

Although there are not many hard and fast rules, some screenshots need

care to set up as they are demonstrating a range of features.

To help with consistency, some of these instructions are presented

as a TortoiseGitProc.exe command line. These assume that the TGit

bin directory is in the PATH and that you have a doc folder checked

out at D:\TortoiseGit\Doc. Adjust the path according to your location.

From the images directory you can simply run adjustimages to check all

images in all languages - it could take a long time. You can check

specific languages or images using a single parameter, eg.

adjustimages en\*.png

adjustimages en\Rev*.png

General rules for all screenshots

=================================

Use PNG format

8 bit colour depth (256 colours, done by adjustimages.bat)

Windows 7 style preferred, white background, English Windows (especially for Context Menus)

Use the D:\TortoiseGit repository

If you update a Screenshot please make sure it looks quite similar to the existing one
