Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., C:\Users\...), and only the Windows executable (WAImportExport.exe) is referenced. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, nor is there mention of running the tool on Linux or using Linux paths. The documentation assumes a Windows environment throughout, both in tool usage and file path conventions.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples, using Linux-style paths (e.g., /home/bob/Pictures).
  • Clarify whether the WAImportExport tool is available and supported on Linux, or provide alternatives if not.
  • If the tool is Windows-only, explicitly state this limitation at the start of the documentation.
  • Include instructions or workarounds for Linux users, such as using Wine or a VM, if applicable.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic language and examples, or present both Windows and Linux variants side by side.
