Description

The goal of the screenshot on a module's project page is to get across, at a glance, what it is this module does. So please, for the love of all that is good and holy in the world, use a different screenshot than the 35-page-long admin settings panel, which is NOT this module's best feature, and should in fact be considered a bug that we really ought to fix and simplify at some point. :P

I'd recommend a screenshot more like devel module which is a crop of a larger image that gets the jist across of what the module does. Maybe a browser address bar showing http://example.com/articles/200802028/hello-world (cropped so the /articles/.../ part shows up) directly above a node titled "Hello World" or something?

I am really tempted to mark this critical, but I wasn't sure if that would go over well. :P

so, if you don't have perms to edit the page you can figure out what the image should be and hopefully post it as an image to the image gallery or just post it here on the issue.

Yep, here on the issue is a good plan. Then either greggles or I (whoever sees it first) can update it.

Thanks so much for taking this on!

Are there specific parts of the config form you'd like me to highlight?

I'm thinking of doing a composite screenshot of the general settings and the node path patterns with some examples.

I would say can the settings screen altogether.

The screenshot should impart the gist of what the module actually does, for people who might not know. So the main gist should be "Make pretty URLs based on arbitrary criteria" :)
