Update georeferencer.rst #9402
Conversation
Three additions: 1) adding "GCP" before "point" in 2 entries in a legend to the buttons, for consistency with the remaining legend entries (although I'm aware, that the final "P" in "GCP" abbreviation also mean "Point" - but this regards all resp. entries); 2) adding explanations, what "Link QGIS to Georeferencer" and "Link Georeferencer to QGIS" buttons actually do (it was not written anywhere and I had to look for this over the Net for a while) 3) adding a tip, how to avoid switching between "Pan" and "Add" or "Move GCP Point" when moving from one location to the other (I also did not find it at once).

Nice addition @crayfish66.
What about putting these elements in the step by step instruction to "live" help people that are georeferencing?

Let's use the dedicated tool for tips, providing the corresponding formatting

BUT there shouldn't be text between an anchor (.. _sometext:) and its title. And since we provide a step-by-step instruction in the section above, how about moving that tip, e.g, somewhere around step 3 or 4 above?

I'm rather new to the QGIS (at least to using it hands-on) so I'm not aware, that some other type of the manual exists (the one I made the additions to also seem a 'step-by-step' type). Where the alternative version is to be found?
And, generally, feel free to place these additions where you know they would be most useful - as a newbie I might not find the really best place (these were where I was looking for them). Best,

OK @crayfish66. There is no other place we describe this tool. By step-by-step, I meant the section under "Entering ground control points (GCPs)". Anyway, I pushed the suggested changes as you asked.
Thanks.

Ah... I didn't mention but let me know if you are OK with these changes.

Seems OK, thank you, @DelazJ !

For consistency with QGIS interface, would you want to fix these also in the software? The place to start the update is https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/ui/georeferencer/qgsgeorefpluginguibase.ui#L240. Thanks

I've never worked with the software itself, so I'm afraid to make some mess. For the time being I've no time to get familiar with the procedures, so either it would have to wait some time or I'll have to ask for your help in this. Cheers.

No problem @crayfish66. Done at qgis/QGIS#59598
