Attachments:	a sample implementation for specifying an qch search dir

Description Bastian 2014-03-21 14:15:01 UTC

We need the possibility to specify an search directory for qch files. Our libraries are deployed with one ore more qch files. The qch files are installed under /usr/local/share/company/library_name/version/help. It would be nice to specify the directory /usr/local/share/company and KDevelop searches all qch files.

Reproducible: Always

a sample implementation for specifying an qch search dir

This is a quick implementation for searching qch files in an specified directory. The directory can be specified in the QTHelp Dialog. KDevelop search the qch files on startup. The imported qch files are NOT added to the manual documentation list. The default icon is the qtlogo an the name is the basename of the file.

Patch integrated, but it's not really intuitive to work with.

@Bastian: Would you be willing to work on another iteration? For instance, I'm proposing to let the "Choose Dir" dialog instantly scan the directory and load the qch files. That way, you don't need to restart KDevelop.

Feedback welcome
