Hello,
Summary
========
I'd like to know why help files are sorted by language first and then by
application name, instead of the other way around.
// I hope this is the right place
Details
=======
In [1] is specified, that help files are found under `$XDG_DATA_DIRS/help/$lang/$path/`.
That is, help files are "sorted" by language first, and then by application
name.
Example:
/usr/share/help/en/gedit
/usr/share/help/en/firefox
/usr/share/help/de/gedit
I personally see more benefit in "sorted" by application name first, and
language second.
Example:
/usr/share/help/gedit/en
/usr/share/help/gedit/de
/usr/share/help/firefox/en
Apart from easier manual handling, I would say this ordering helps keeping
applications apart from each other, versus, the current spec looks like it turn
the whole system into a big soup.
