      For most part of time I'm using Assistant (as individual app or inside QtCreator). But sometimes while I'm google for some complicated problem I find myself somewhere inside online docs :)

        Never used Assistant, I always used the online docs until Qt Creator :)

        Write “Qt”, not “QT” (QuickTime).

          When working in Creator, I use the offline version. When googling the online docs.

          BTW: If there were links to the online version embedded in the offline docs, this would help much.

            Hm, I can't imagine how this could work properly. All the links in Assistant are for internal content...

              The link shoud explicitely marked as online, something "linkable URL to the online version of this page" - from my point of view, the offline docs are equivalent to the online ones, aren't they?

                Well i use mostly the online documentation, but i don't know how the build-in search works because i use google to search topics and then the documentation is pretty well organized (has links to inherited_by-inherits classes and other goodies)

                Also another reason i use google to search for online documentation/content is that it finds the documentation site and, in most of the cases, it also can find discussions on QtDN or "qtcentre":http://www.qtcentre.org (i learned a lot about Qt from there).

                  I'm using the help in Qt Creator. When Konqueror is open and I want to know something about a particular class, qt <classname-here> does it as well.

                        My first option is F1 on Qt Creator, for everything else Qt Assistant

                            I always read the help section of Qt Creator.(Main INDEX style is best).

                            When I need more content of particular topic at that time I prefer online documents.

                              I use the help in QtCreator. When I search for help, I usually search online. By reading this thread just now, I learned that I can launch QtCreator's Offline Help in a separate window and how to search it.

                              I wish I had printouts for QtMobility. I wish I had more examples, too. For Qt, I have Blanchette & Summerfeld's C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4.

                                Also, I wish I could print documentation from QtCreator. I'm installing Assistant just to print QtMobility.

                                  I like the offline docs (keep up the great work) and I use it through Qt Creator

                                    You can, if you switch to help mode (eg hit F1 twice on a symbol).
