Hi All,
I am trying to enable help functionality for all application/applet for
GNOME2.
Help is already enabled for most of the applications and applets.
I have a doubt regarding "how to access a help file from any path".
I mean is it possible for any application to access any help file
present
in any path.
For example I have the help files for panel, control-center and nautilus
present under one central location
($PREFIX/share/gnome/help/user-guide/)
Now how do I access the files from this location from panel,
control-center
and nautilus.
The help APIs we have currently are
1. gnome_help_display()
This will try to search the file in the
<app-datadir>/share/gnome/help directory
where <app-datadir> = prefix for the application.
2. gnome_help_display_desktop(0
This will search the file in <gnome-datadir>/share/gnome/help
directory.
where <gnome-datadir> = where GNOME is installed.
Should I keep the help documents (user-guide/) under
"gnome-datadir/share/gnome/help" directory only, so that any
application can
access them (using gnome_help_display_desktop() API).
You can also see the discussion on enabling help at #73312
Thanks and Regards
Satyajit
