Comment (by pearled-duck):
Background processes including daemons have to be started by something
else. But Linux/bsd users seem used to the idea of starting them
separately/manually. My business software always started background
processes in order to free up the user's terminal to do something else,
while the updating of files etc. took place in background. Nobody went to
a command line/prompt to start that happening.
To extend that example, would be that unchecking the "Classic" option in
the Deluge gui would do something like ask "Do you want to start the
background daemon now and continue?" etc.
And that's mostly the point, really. Deluge users shouldn't have to know
(almost) as much as the developers in order to be able to use it
effectively.
And the user guide doesn't reflect the still apparent reality that, well
folks, you kinda HAVE TO use thin client or else it crashes all the time.
It's far from comprehensive, too. For one thing, it's all written from
the perspective of initial installation and use. But I've already been
using Deluge for a couple weeks. So, do I still need to: "Create Default
Config
To create the config directory and populate with the default files, run
and then stop deluged."
My guess would be no, but the user guide doesn't tell me that.
And further, "killall" is very much Linux not windows.
And "Note: The config location is either the default location with
reference to the user that deluged is running as." is grammatically
incomplete. Using "either" means you need an "or" clause.
Moving on... Once again, since I've already been using Deluge for a
couple weeks, am I already an "authorized user" in the "auth" file? Seems
like I should be, but there's no information on that in the user guide.
And if you can look at the rest of the user guide page(s) and tell me
that's not all about Linux rather than Windows... well, maybe you'd like
to buy a bridge or some swamp land or something.
Windows users should probably just be directed down to the GTK UI section,
if not moved to another page entirely to avoid the Linux gibberish.
And I found that I didn't have to do hardly any of that stuff which also
appears to be for first-time installation.
Good thing I didn't waste my time on it.
Maybe you should add a section for "switching to thin client mode after
already having installed and used Deluge." There's a lot less to it than
the user guide seems to indicate.
