Hmmm, I've just had a look at this on my phone.
As soon as you switch to a small screen device, *everything* in the Wiki
switches to "minuscule text" mode, it's certainly not caused by my
screenshots.
A cursory inspection of the HTML headers shows that the Wiki framework
seems to be a "legacy" version of MediaWiki that is oblivious of the
device it is rendering on, (unlike, say, Wikipedia itself); but we won't
solve that problem overnight...
As to separating the images, my thinking is:-
* GnuCash is very much a desktop application
* GnuCash is generally more usable in Landscape mode
* Old monitors are Landscape oriented
* Modern monitors are even more stretched to Landscape
So, by my logic, a typical GnuCash Wiki reader will be more comfortable
with a wide screen approach rather than a (scrolling) deep screen
approach. Keeping the screenshots in a single, wide image makes it
easier to follow the workflow and see the complete story in one glance.
But, hey, it's a Wiki. I'm sure that the next person who comes along
(average edits are ~4 years apart) will have different views again.
Thanks again for the review.
Regards
Geoff

I'm opening the page on Android devices in Chrome.
I still feel that each of the windows should be placed in a separate
image, in the actual instructional sequence.

Hi David
Thanks for the review.
I tested this (on Windows) in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge; and (if the
window wasn't wide enough) all browsers just created a horizontal slide
bar and kept the original (non-minuscule) text size.
What browser and operating system are you using?
I did look at the Help, however the requirements to edit it are rather
daunting, so I am starting my very modest contributions in the Wiki.

Geoff

Geoff,
As it's a wiki, you just go for it.
I was going to do just that, because your image width causes the
browser
page to shrink everything else on screen, making it incredibly
hard for
old eyes to read the (now miniscule) text.
But, you've aggregated all the steps into one wide image. If I were
going to enter this, I'd have separate screen shots of each
dialog, and
I'd put them next to the steps they illustrate. That way,
there's less
opportunity for confusion, and the page will display better.
I'm also wondering why this clear information isn't in the Help
(or if
it is, where it is)...

Folks
Thanks to assistance from John & David C, and inspiration from James
Baxter, I have revised and updated the "Add Stock" page on the
"Using
GnuCash" Wiki to include some screenshots to make the process
clearer
for new and unfamiliar users.

This is my first Wiki update - is there a peer review process,
or do we
just go for it?
:--))
Thanks
Geoff
