+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #492305 +++ User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009022800 SUSE/3.0.7-1.1.6 Firefox/3.0.7 When I start Gnucash and select to Open the Nrew User Tutorial, I am taken to the KDE Help Center where I receive this error message: "There is no documentation available for /usr/share/gnucash/gnome/help/gnucash/C/gnucash-guide.xml" Similarly if I select Help from the top level menu in the Gnucash menus. OK next thing I try is to look for help re Gnucash in Yelp. There's no entry for Gnucash in Yelp. Reproducible: Always I need to run a business so for me it's Major. I don't really want to run Quickbooks in a VMware machine again. Why does this not get fixed after appearing in the past editions of openSUSE. Frustration!! ========================================================================= ------- Comment #4 From Karl Eichwalder 2009-04-28 01:44:48 MDT (-) [reply] ------- Private BTW, it would help if yelp would print the name of the .directory resp. .desktop file. What's the name of the element yelp complains about? ; DocPath: ; Icon=document2 This was meant as a comment (I once was told the ";" sign is a comment start letter--according to http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s02.html#comments only "#" seems to be allowed). I'll clone this report to check the opensuse-manual related desktop files.
fixed in SVN.
yelp please to print the name of dubious .directory and .desktop files.
Karl: I don't understand the bug report. Can you clarify what you would like to be done here? Do you want yelp to print what's wrong? I'd disagree, since if it's a desktop file issue, it will be caught by desktop-file-validate.

Maybe, calling desktop-file-validate at installation time should be mandatory.
This got fixed with the new yelp, in GNOME 3.
