[file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/debug.html](file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/debug.html)
On the Debug page (above), the first image (the paid icon) isn’t displaying.
(sorry for the topic name but it wouldn’t let me create a topic that wasn’t a sentence, what’s up with that?)
About the icon, in the doc the bug is on a white circle, but in the help files it’s just the bug. Would it be better to be consistent?
[file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/editfolder/editingafolder/clipping.html](file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/editfolder/editingafolder/clipping.html)
On the clippings page, the image for the clippings menu is just the menu icon. Maybe it would be better to show it as a menu, with the scripts menu next to it and maybe the built in selections displaying?
[file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/editfolder/editingafolder/completion.html](file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/editfolder/editingafolder/completion.html)
In the Code Completion page the image for Cocoa terms doesn’t look right. It’s kind of blurry and hard to read.
That might be because two different kinds of selections are on top of each other, maybe redo it with an item further down in the list selected, the way the Keyboard Shortcuts image is done?
[file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/editfolder/scriptwifolder/viewfolder/tabstops.html](file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/editfolder/scriptwifolder/viewfolder/tabstops.html)
On Tab Stops page, maybe an image showing what the tab stops look like?
file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/runfolder/record.html
I think on the Record page where the Paid Icon image is displayed should make clear it’s the Explorer view that’s paid
file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/developfolder/runfolder/times.html
The Times Page, I thing it would be better if the title were:
Timing your scripts, or Script Timing.
file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/openingafolder/savefolder/formatsfolder/applicat.html
On the Application page:
The Enhanced applet icons? Is that what you’re going with?
file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/referencfolder/windows.html
On the Windows Page, the bullet list looks odd to have the plain-text “The” with the rest. Can that be improved?
file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/referencfolder/helpglossaryfolder/asoc.html
I think code completion image on this glossary page is the same image I complained about above, just on a different page.
file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/referencfolder/helpglossaryfolder/sdefglossary.html
On the SDEF glossary page,
Is it possible to find a link for this video?
NOTE: Explaining how to write an sdef file for a bundle is beyond the scope of this documentation; watch WWDC 2013 video 416 to get started.
file:///Applications/Script%20Debugger%207b/Script%20Debugger.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/sd7help/indexfolder/referencfolder/windowsfolder/toolbar.html
On the Toolbar page, the images look kind of clunky, thanks to the paid image icon.
Would it be possible to put a little space between the images stacked on each other, and make the sizes of the toolbar par consistent. Maybe having which space on the left side of the non-paid toolbar to make them line up nicely?
OK, I’m done. I’ve looked at the images and skimmed the text of every help file page. This is a very impressive document. I think the first one, about the paid image is the only real problem I found. Everything else is just suggestions or impressions, to take for what they’re worth.
Also, just navigating help, I was worried I wasn’t following all the links or seeing every single page, so hacked together this script. Still a work in progress, but I’m pretty confident I visited every page.

Thanks for a great job! I’ve followed up on some, and noted some for future reference. Just FYI:
Yes.
It’s the same resolution as the others. It’s not very pretty, but I think accuracy wins out here — that’s what the user will see when typing.
Both are used within the app. I think the one without the background fits better on a colored background.
