Hi Yesterday I added a 'tip of the day' type dialog that appears when QGIS starts. You have probably have seen a similar feature in other applications. And no, before you ask, we are not going to implement a 'Mr. Paperclip' function next :-). Right now the tip list is rather basic so I would like to invite everyone to submit your favourite little tips for QGIS. Here are some guidelines:
- The tip should have a short title - The tip content should be short - one or two paragraphs - Simple HTML formatting can be used for the tip, including links, lists etc. - Tips should be broadly useful and perhaps reveal functionality that users may have otherwise overlooked. Here is an example submission: Title: Quick access to project properties Content: You can quickly access the project properties dialog by clicking on the icon in the bottom right corner of the window in the status bar area. If you are a developer, you can add tips directly to src/app/qgstipfactory.cpp - it should be self explanatory what to do when you look at the source.
