Summary: Please allow optional saving of KDE Help Center searches
and display links to each one
Product: docs
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kde-doc-english kde org
ReportedBy: rdm docreate net
Version: KDE Help Center 3.5.1 on KDE 3.5.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
It seems reasonable to have KDE Help Center separate from a Konqueror plug-in
only to the extent that Konqueror might be the application for which help is
sought. However, unless Konqueror is failing to run (and thus help is needed)
this line of argument might quickly thin out. (The Konqueror shortcuts -KIO?-
are operational on my system.)
Using KDE Help Center this evening proved useful to me as I just installed djvu
and needed to find out about that group of programs. The Help Center delivered
in ways that proved more expedient than searching further on the web.
When I have performed a search, as in the last case for "djvu", I would like
to see the ability t select an option to save the search textbox and the number
of results somewhere visible in the Help Center panes. For me at least, this
would aid accessibility and automated record-keeping. In the same way undo
actions are stored for most editing apps, action logs might be made available
by default in viewing apps like Konqueror and KDE Help Center. The latter would
be stored on disk in a log contrary to the usual set-up of the former where
undo actions are forgotten the termination of the editing application in
question.
On load (when maximised) KDE Help Center has plenty of space to display any
previous search strings. I have not found such functionality in relation to KDE
Help Center so I'm guessing it's not there (by default, at least).
If there if a Konqueror plug-in for KDE Help Center then it was not installed
or set up as default as far as I can tell. "help:djvu" in Konqueror gave no
results while KDE Help Center gave five useful links to further information.
"man:djvu" gave the relevant man page.
Cheers,
Rob
