Description of problem: Help files are searched on the old path /usr/share/doc/scidavis-manual-0.2.2 after update scidavis-0.2.2 to 0.2.3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): scidavis-0.2.3-1.fc11.i586 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install scidavis-0.2.2, setup help directory and open help 2. Update to 0.2.3, setup new help directory 3. Try to open different help pages Actual results: Help files are searched on the old path /usr/share/doc/scidavis-manual-0.2.2 Expected results: Help should work after update. Additional info: The possible solution is to install manual files in /usr/share/scidavis/manual/ because this path don't changes after update.
The problem is still in scidavis-0.2.3-2.fc11. Ptah change in scidavis-0.2.0-pro.patch to manual.path = $$INSTALLBASE/share/doc/scidavis-manual-0.2.3 didn't solves the problem because old path is still saved in the file ~/.assistant/contentdb40.scidavis_manual_e even after new manual path is selected. > The page could not be found >'file:///usr/share/doc/scidavis-manual-0.2.2/index.html'
In fact you need to delete .config/SciDAVis/SciDAVis.conf I contacted upstream about this problem and i wait an answer
(In reply to comment #2) > In fact you need to delete .config/SciDAVis/SciDAVis.conf Removing of .config/SciDAVis/SciDAVis.conf didn't help. ~/.assistant/contentdb40.scidavis_manual_e should be removed each time after update.
scidavis-0.2.3-5.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/scidavis-0.2.3-5.fc11
scidavis-0.2.3-5 can find new path automatically but the problem still exists if exist file ~/.assistant/contentdb40.scidavis_manual_e with scidavis-0.2.2 manual path in. On "Introduction" the same error: > The page could not be found > 'file:///usr/share/doc/scidavis-manual-0.2.2/c63.html' So, that file still should be removed after each update. By the way is it necessary to have SciDAVis present in two menu groups "Science" and "Graphics"?

How do you have a "Science" menu ? Do you use gnome, KDE, ... ? For me, i have SciDAVis only in Graphics because i don't have Science
(In reply to comment #8) > How do you have a "Science" menu ? > Do you use gnome, KDE, ... ? > For me, i have SciDAVis only in Graphics because i don't have Science I am using KDE where Science & Math menu appears if scidavis installed: http://nucleo.fedorapeople.org/science.png SciDAVis appears both in Graphics and Science & Math menu: http://nucleo.fedorapeople.org/scidavis.png http://nucleo.fedorapeople.org/scidavis1.png By the way, I think that scidavis-manual should require scidavis because if I do 'yum remove scidavis' scidavis-manual don't removes.
The problem seems to be that KDE implements Science&Math as a Main Category whereas it is not referenced in http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html Try to replace Categories=Qt;Science;Physics;Math;Graphics; by Categories=Qt;Science;Physics;Math;Education; in /usr/share/applications/fedora-scidavis.desktop and tell me if it works better. Science, Physics and Math are submenu of Education ...

I have changed categories. SciDAVis appears now only in Education - Science submenu. http://nucleo.fedorapeople.org/education.png On the one hand it is better that SciDAVis appears in menus only once, but on the other hand first level menu is more suitable than third level.
I am sorry but I has not checked up other Education submenus. With Categories=Qt;Science;Physics;Math;Education; SciDAVis appears both in Education - Science submenu and Education - Mathematics http://nucleo.fedorapeople.org/math.png http://nucleo.fedorapeople.org/education.png
In this case the more suitable is certainly Categories=Qt;Education; no ?
(In reply to comment #13) > In this case the more suitable is certainly Categories=Qt;Education; no ? No. With Categories=Qt;Education; appears in Education > Miscellaneous submenu. http://nucleo.fedorapeople.org/miscellaneous.png May be this will be the best and acording to freedesktop standards: Categories=Qt;Education;Science;DataVisualization;
It seems to be ok for me on gnome !
