Hi Andrew, We did indeed consider if the screenshots should be updated. Here is a bug report: http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16610 which led to the changes that need to be made being detailed in GitHub issues: https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+Guides%3A
Unfortunately we didn't have time to actually implement these updates, other than the quick scan and minor revisions I made here (which themselves took quite a while): https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/pull/728/files With the limited resources available to us, we decided that converting the guide to Markdown and putting them onto GitHub, incorporating them into the in-product dictionary and automatically generating a user guide pdf from those source files would be a much more productive way to advance the current state of the user guides - in particular we can accept community contributions to those guides which will (almost) immediately be reflected in the product. A community-led drive to improve all of the guides has been vaguely in the works for a while now. In the meantime we are trying to ensure the guides are incrementally improved by suggesting code changing pull requests also come with corresponding guide changes if applicable. If there are any issues with the guides that are not present in the list of issues above, please submit bug reports for them.
