Typo fixes
I have edited the first 10 .rst files in the documentation to try to improve the grammar and readability.
I have 3 remaining questions about these files:
quick_start.rst, line 102 - Text says " If you want to move folders around and don't want to do that in digiKam, we suggest you do that while digiKam is running, so the database will be kept in sync and you do not lose any metadata." This does not seem to be true on the Mac. I can delete a file or add a directory in the Mac Finder application, and digikam seems unaware of the change until I execute "Scan for new items'. Does digiKam actually track changes made to files and directories in the photo library under linux or Windows?
movie_formats.rst, line 23 - text says "If you double click on a movie in digiKam, you can preview the video or choose a dedicated viewing / editing application through your desktop settings." I don't understand how one can choose a dedicated viewing / editing application. Videos on the Mac are displayed using QuickTime.
cameras_devices.rst, line 25 - text says "Camera import is currently not supported on Windows Systems due limitations in the Gphoto2 library." gphoto2 2.5.27 released in February 2021 says it supports Windows. So is the manual correct as written, or does digiKam support Windows download?
I am not sure I am going to continue contributing unless I can figure out how to push my local version of the git repository onto my forked gitlab repository. I uploaded these files manually because I kept getting an error:
remote: Audit failure - Commit 2cb0a7f99be13500066912bb20edc537b65a8715 - Non-full name: rickchapman remote: Push declined - commits failed audit remote: Should the audit failures above mention issues regarding your name, please ensure that your Git username has been set to your full name. remote: Please see https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup for more details on ensuring Git has been fully configured.
My full name in gitLab and in my local version of git is now 'Rick Chapman'. The git log command shows:
commit 2cb0a7f99be13500066912bb20edc537b65a8715 (HEAD -> master) Author: Rick Chapman rick05chap@icloud.com Date: Sun Aug 25 06:57:23 2024 -0400
I have read the git book, and it is no help. I have read the gitlab docs, and they are no help. The name rickchapman must be cached someplace.
