Wesley Stout has proposed merging lp:~wesleystout/openlp/documentation into lp:openlp.
Requested reviews: Jonathan Corwin (j-corwin) Raoul Snyman (raoul-snyman) Tim Bentley (trb143) For more details, see: https://code.launchpad.net/~wesleystout/openlp/documentation/+merge/58889 This should add some info for a situation StevanP addressed with an user concerning a projector with a usb connection. We are looking for better info and will include it as we find it. Also added a link to the dual monitors section from the trouble shooting. And also included a note in the trouble shooting about high ram usage and power point. Apologies for my quick delete of my last merge proposal, fat fingers took me in the wrong direction. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~wesleystout/openlp/documentation/+merge/58889 Your team OpenLP Core is subscribed to branch lp:openlp.
