[SOLVED] Openshot help files don't open

[moniac]

When I open up openshot and click on help and contents I get an error message that says "Unable to open the Help Contents. Please ensure the openshot-doc package is installed." I have it installed and have reinstalled it. If this problem is not unique to me it may be a dependency issue but I am just guessing.

No problems here. Fully updated:

You might need to install some gnome dependencies like yelp for help files to show up.

Coffeetime, Since you have openshot open, can you please check and see if you have transitions such as dissolve, blinds in to out etc...in the Transitions tab?

I did look at the dependency list and I can't remember is yelp was or was not installed but if it wasn't I did install it and yelp-xsl also. I updated through today just now and still have the same error. I also tried it on my laptop after updating and it has the error. I do uninstall some of the default software so I will assume the problem is in something I took off. Now that I know the problem is with me I will start adding back software I removed and if I find the problem I will report back. Thanks guys for the help.

I also have the same problem as moniac, I have the doc files installed with their dependencies, including Yelp, but still no help files. moniac if you find a fix, please post it and I will try it also.

I went to a computer that I have not removed any default installed software did an update and then installed openshot and the openshot doc packages yelp also is installed. I still have the problem so it is not anything I have removed. I am searching the net looking for clues. I have went through the list of dependencies for openshot the doc file and yelp and they are all there. I wonder if coffeetime has installed some gnome stuff that enabled his help files to work. If I find anything I will be sure to post it. If you come up with anything please post it here also.

Hello moniac: I just booted into my number 2 hard drive on this machine where I have a PCLOS 2010 Gnome version installed. I installed OpenShot there and this is what it wanted to upgrade along with installing OpenShot and OpenShot docs, to be upgraded: freiOr-plugins, mlt, mlt-python, and python-pygoocanvas. After agreeing to all this , OpenShot was installed and the help files work on my Gnome install. I will try later on the KDE install and see if these programs are installed and upgraded, and will post back.

I have all these packages installed and it is a no go for me.

It is looking like it is a missing gnome package to me. I wonder is coffeetime is using kde and has installed some gnome stuff. Maybe he will see this and comment on it.

I can get on the command line and run "yelp /usr/share/gnome/help/openshot/C/openshot.xml and it will open the manual. Maybe this will be a clue to someone.
