Update djing_with_mixxx.rst - autodj decks orientation

Preview: https://deploy-preview-680--mixxx-manual.netlify.app/chapters/djing_with_mixxx#auto-dj

[ronso0]

Thank you for starting this!

I made some proposals based on your draft (might look like a complete rewrite, we obviously have different styles of writing ; ) in order to improve the structure and reduce the wall of text a bit.

[Eve00000]

No problem, it's a kind of personal evolution.
Before I was told I gave to little information, that there is more then headlines/keynotes to understand something, but my mind was hopping to fast for others to follow my logical reasoning. So I obliged myself giving a circumstantial detailed description of logical steps.
It's funny that you're writing the contrary now, that there's to much info.
You are experienced in explaining Mixxx (in another style) to users and that's the most important:
Mixxx-ers understanding Mixxx.

[ronso0]

Well, depends on the context ; )

My primary intention was to break that huge text block as many people (me included) are scared by such things.

[ronso0]

Are you motivated to update the screenshot, too?

[ronso0]

I think we should move the new text below the existing paragraph

Auto DJ does not take into account the volume of each track, nor the frequency content, ...

so the crossafder explanation is continuation of that.

What do you think?

[Eve00000]

Are you motivated to update the screenshot, too?

I think you already know my motivation:-)
Scared of big texts? I don't scare easily (except spiders)
Yes, that looks more logic
What about the 'broken-links-error' ?

[Eve00000]

I added a screenshot, if you like it we can remove the old one.
The txt order has been changed for logical order.
WDYT? (I'm statying with abbreviations too)

[ronso0]

What about the 'broken-links-error' ?

ignore... they are not related to the changes of this PR.

Thanks for the screenshot, but we don't the illustration (it's not translatable), just a simple view of the Auto DJ pane is sufficient. Can you revert to the clean view?
Also, please replace the old image file, we don't need it. The new image can be prefixed with the current Mixxx version, so it would be _[source/static/Mixxx-241-Library-Auto-DJ.png).

The txt order has been changed for logical order.

Thank you, this looks good now IMO!

[Eve00000]

I guess you mean: no writing on the image?
I will change the image to the clean printscreen.. When it was too late I thought I should have written numbers that could be explained in the text.
OK; that's the logic in the image name.
I was keen on doing this pr to learn how to make the manual, there are a lot of missing links in the manual that need some explaining (on a cold and rainy day).
I will try to do that tonight (after we defeated the Ukranian team)

[ronso0]

I guess you mean: no writing on the image?
I will change the image to the clean printscreen..

Yes & no, I meant the clean screenshot (no annotations) of only the AutoDJ pane (no decks, no mixer).

[Eve00000]

ronso, do I have to do something more?

[ronso0]

This looks good now, thank you.
I'll take another look in a few days, and until another @mixxxdj/developers may check if we missed something, or can remove something.

[ronso0]

I guess you mean: no writing on the image?
I will change the image to the clean printscreen..

Yes & no, I meant the clean screenshot (no annotations) of only the AutoDJ pane (no decks, no mixer).

Could you please crop the screenshot accordingly?
Then this is ready for merge.

[Eve00000]

done

[ronso0]

Uaah, not sure what happened.
I ammended a commit updating the context menu image, and squashed all commits into one.
Then force-pushed to your branch.

[ronso0]

Hm, I think the issue is that your branch is named like a remote branch (2.4) and not something like autodj-update.

Could you please try to open a PR from your 2.4 branch?
If that doesn't work, I'll revert force-revert your branch to f174501 and probably open a new one (or push the squashed commit directly to the mixxx repo).

Sorry for the inconvenience!

[Eve00000]

Hi ronso, is there a spell of the hithubghosts involved? :-)
I gave you acces to my repository because I don't clearly understand what you mean.

[ronso0]

I'll try to explain:
"Maintainers are allowed to edit this pull request." is checked for this PR, so I ammended a commit updating the context menu image, and squashed all commits into one.
Then force-pushed to your branch.
Then I'd would have merged this PR.
But that wasn't possible because my push made Github auto-close this PR, and I can't re-open it.
I suspect the reason is that your branch is named like a upstream branch (2.4) and not something like "autodj-update".
Not sure though because I never experienced something like this. but please try to stick to this pattern from now on.
edit: no, something went wrong with the rebase even though I just squashed (fixup) all commits.

I'll simply push the all-in-one commit to mixxxdj/manual.

All good ronso0, I trust you completely. Sorry if I did something wrong with the naming.
