Hello,
Thanks to the work done by Lars and Riccardo, we can now envisage to
provide consistent help resources for the GNUstep apps ecosystem.
Netherless, things are not yet evident for me:
1) How to name and where to put the .help bundle?
- Is the presence of a .help file in the Application bundle enough to
make the 'Help...' menuItem available (I did not find to: mine is ever
grayed).
- Should we consider a default '.help' bundle at the root of the
source app folder, or in the 'Resources' folder, and moreover
localized subprojects (Language.lproj/Help/AppName.help)?
2) How to declare help within GNUmakefile and Info-gnustep.plist?
- What are the keys related to the Help expected to be used within
Info-gnustep.plist?
- What specific lines must we add into GNUmakefile?
3) What code statements are mandatory to enable Help menuItem?
- Do we need to connect manually the 'Help...' menuItem of the Gorm
interface to an 'action' and to explicitely declare it in the class
'@interface' like this?
'(IBAction) showHelp: (id) sender'?
If yes, what object do we need then to send a message in the
'@implementation'?
- NSHelpPanel? (most of the methods seem deprecated)
- NSHelpManager?
Kind regards,
Patrick
