Hi, I am happy to announce that the MITK/BlueBerry support for QCH (Qt Compressed Help) files representing "User Manuals" has been reworked substantially. The past system occasionally exhibited a couple of issues, ranging from minor annoyances to actual faulty behavior:
- On some platforms, the Qt Assistant executable was not found and/or not packaged when issuing a "make package" - (Un)Registering of QCH files sometimes failed with confusing error messages - Registering of QCH files on start-up of deployed applications sometimes failed completely - Re-registering of changed QCH files (from re-compiled plug-ins) did not always work These issues have been resolved in the MITK Git master. Additionally, the following improvements took place: - Seamless integration of the Qt Help System in the BlueBerry Workbench (specialized Views and Editors) - Removal of the superficial first level in the "Contents Tree" of the registered QCH files and alphabetical sorting - Easy method to request special context help (using the CTK EventAdmin service) After updating your MITK repository you must issue a build in MITK's superbuild directory (the CTK version changed). Running a MITK based application using the update code base might result in start-up errors. In that case, please start your application with the --BlueBerry.clean command line argument *once*. This will also delete your custom application preferences - you might want to export and afterwards import them again. If you are using the MITK ExtApp, you are all set. If you use your own executable to bootstrap the BlueBerry Workbench, make sure that the new org.blueberry.ui.qt.help plug-in is switched ON. If you are providing your own BlueBerry WorkbenchAdvisor class (instead of using the org.mitk.gui.qt.extapplication plug-in) you might be interested in commit [1] and [2] for the relevant changes. Please also read the org.blueberry.ui.qt.help documentation [3]. Please also note that the old system (using the external Qt Assistant executable) is deprecated.
