[solved] Assistant can't find files from custom documentation

maciej

Hi all,

I'd like to create Help system in my application with use of QtAssistant. I've created .qhp and .qhcp files, then generated collection file with:
@qcollectiongenerator help.qhcp -o help.qhc@
and started assistant with:
@assistant -collectionFile help.qhc@
Unfortunately I'm getting 404's, e.g.:
@The page could not be found
'qthelp://test.assistant/help/en/tool/index.html'@

If you need source, I've uploaded my "example":http://files.myopera.com/Maciek/files/assistant.zip.

Also I'd like to know where is cacheDirectory stored, as I need to clear it (with <cacheDirectory> set sections are doubled). I'm using Linux, but I haven't found any .assistant or .{cache,config}/{Qt,Troltech,Nokia,Assistant}/ entries. I'm using Qt 4.7.0

Thanks for your help.

On Linux, the cache directory should exist under $HOME/.assistant.

maciej

Well... not on mine Linux :)

Does it get created for you when you start Qt Assistant?

maciej

That's strange but not. And I need to clear cache, while some problems seem to be caused by old values from cache.

There has been several caching fixes in later versions of Qt 4.7.x. Can you try upgrading to Qt 4.7.3 to see if that helps?

The assistant cache directory should be:

./local/share/data/Trolltech/Assistant/....

Ahh... there it is! Removing that directory helped. Thanks for information!
