Description Sulamita Garcia 2010-02-21 12:10:36 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Online documentation still refers to kcontrol and kcontrol subsystems, which are no longer available. For example:

http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase-runtime/kcontrol/kcmnotify/index.html#sys-notify

Or there should be a note that new KDE versions don't have it.

In the online documentation http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase-runtime/kcontrol/kcmnotify/index.html I can find no reference to kcontrol and the like.

Where do you see this obsolete references?
Comment 2 Sulamita Garcia 2010-02-26 12:18:58 UTC
Well, for one thing, it's on the url. When I was searching for information, I cutted the url to http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase-runtime/kcontrol/ to find the main app and got the documentation menu for kcontrol. Assuming I wanted to go to the notifications and that was inside the kcontrol documentation, you can imagine the confusion.

But it seems to has changed the permissions and doesn't allow to enter and see kcontrols docs. The url still reflects kcontrol though.

Now I understand what you mean.
Problem is the name "kcontrol" on the screen and in the url is taken from the folder name in kde's svn archiv.
Thats not easily changeable.

That's cause I removed this obsolete doc a few days age.
