Bug ID: 369399
Summary: No "What's this" help in Dolphin > Share > Share with
Samba
Product: kio
Version: unspecified
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kfile
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I'm running Kubuntu 16.04 with the KDE backports: Dolphin 15.12.3, KDE
Frameworks 5.23.0, and Plasma shell 5.6.5; none of these are choices in this
bug's Version field and I don't know how to tell what version of kio I have.
I'm trying to share a folder with a Windows client. In Dolphin, a folder's
Properties > Share has a promising dialog Share with Samba. But I can't get it
to work, and none of its fields have any help to guide me.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Dolphin
2. Right-click on a directory, choose Properties > Share
3. Click the (?) in the window title bar or click Shift+F1
4. See if you can get any help for any item in the dialog.
Actual Results:
No help.
Expected Results:
"When the user activates the question mark button and doesn't get any help
window when clicking on a user interface element, he will get frustrated very
quickly." --

:-)
I was unable to find *any* documentation anywhere for the Share panel in KDE
Frameworks 5. In KDE Help Center, Dolphin help doesn't mention it and Kioslaves
> smb only documents the smb: protocol to access SMB shares, not to offer a
Samba share. Google coughs up old documentation and an old bug that the Share
panel wasn't present.
