Description Simon Brys 2007-08-12 13:47:24 UTC 
This works fine:

   yelp ghelp:gedit

But the following results in 'The requested URI "ghelp:gnome-volume-manager" is invalid':

   yelp ghelp:gnome-volume-manager

Seems like yelp looks only at the scrollkeeper files in /usr/share/omf/ to resolve ghelp: URIs. For applications that don't come with an omf file, like gnome-volume-manager, you can't open the corresponding help page with "yelp ghelp:app".

In openSUSE 10.2, yelp resolved ghelp: URIs by searching through the known help file directories for the application's help files.

I assume a number of applications invoke the "yelp ghelp:something" command when their "Help" meny entry is clicked. If those applications don't come with scrollkeeper files, clicking the "Help" button will now result in the aforementioned error.

Note that this still worked fine in Alpha7.
