Okay I stand corrected. It was a bad choice of words on my part. But I was trying to emphasize the fact that help/information doesn't have to be defined as only a module's responsibility and not a feature of the control center itself. Somehow, clearly, I erred in my choice of words. But I hope the gist of what i meant was conveyed.
Well, in a way I disagree. The design of YaST is to be modular. Everything about a module should (must?) come from the module itself. This is the only way it can be extended in a sane way. Imagine if a third party developer writes a yast module, and then has to wait for a core update for things to become active The concept of help texts is a design thing, but from what little I've seen of yast scripting, there is nothing preventing a module from providing help texts, however large. They can even open extra windows, if the help text doesn't fit in a side bar The tooltip popup in the centre itself will probably require a change in yast core though Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
