History:Wizard Helptexts

Hi, would be cool if you could help me to improve these helptexts provided in the Picard First users wizard.

At the moment they are a bit to formal and stiff.

Maybe some native english speaker could fix this:

Please feel free to apply any changes that come to your mind. The only constraints are that the texts with exception of page 1 and 6 may not much grow in total length.

Note: some parts appear in German, due automatic localization (sry, don't know how turn off).

in step 2 the original text is:

• rename file
• move files
• move tagged files to this folder
• move additional files
• delete empty files

in step 3 the original text is:

• Settings:
• replace windows incompatible characters
• replace non-ASCII characters

in step 4:

• File naming Format
• Bespiel = Example

Page 1 - Introduction

Welcome:

Welcome to the Picard configuration wizard!

This wizard will help you configure Picard so that your music can be organized the way you want it.

You'll also be introduced to Picard itself, and how it tags your music. It's a little different from most music taggers.

Please begin by clicking the "next" button.

Page 2 - Path

As well as tagging, Picard can also organise your music files the way you want them.

• If you want Picard to rename your music files based on the tag data, use the "Rename files" option. On the following screens you'll be asked how you'd like the files to be renamed.
• If you want Picard to move your music files to another folder, use the "Move files" option, and enter the name of the target folder. Note that if you want Picard to organise your files into sub-folders based on (say) artist name, enter the name of the top level music folder here.
• If you decide to move the files you can use the "Move additional files" option to also move non-audio files, e.g. album covers or lyrics files. You can tell Picard how to identify these files; e.g. '*.jpg' for cover art image files, '*.txt' for lyrics text files.

Note that these operations only take effect when you tell Picard to save a file.

[ ] Rename files

[ ] Move files

Question: do you mean "delete empty files", or maybe "delete empty directories" ? Answer: Exactly :)

Page 3 - Naming Format

How would you like your files to be named?

Picard can use different naming styles, depending on whether the release is a "Various Artists" release, or a single artist. In each entry in the list below, the first line is an example of how a release with a single artist would look, and the second line is how a release with "Various Artists" would look.

Please select your preferred file naming style. If you don't like any of the preset styles, choose "Create custom entry" to create your own naming format in the next step.

Page 4 - Custom Naming Format

Here you can create your own naming format.

Words enclosed by % signs (e.g. "%artist%") are macros which will be replaced by the corresponding tag data for each file. Click "Insert Field" to see a list of available macros. Please refer to the Picard Scripting Guide for further details.

Click "Preview" to see the effect of the format. Click "Next" when done.

Page 5 - Duplicate File Handling

If Picard needs to rename one of your files, but there's already a file of that name, what should it do?

• "Append a number": a number is added to the filename so that "file.mp3" (for example) would be renamed to "file (1).mp3"
• "Leave it in the original directory": the file will not be moved if it already exists at the target location.
• "Move to another directory": all duplicates will be moved to a single directory.

Thank you for completing the Picard configuration wizard. We now have the necessary information to handle your music files correctly.

As you use Picard, further information on how to proceed will appear in the sidebar.

We hope Picard will make it easy for you to tag and manage your music. To help us improve, go to musicbrainz.org and let us know what you think.
