Description ken taylor 2014-11-11 09:23:06 UTC
In the latest Neon 5 ISO, if you open System Settings and you open a KCM (eg. Workspace theme > Look & Feel), the 'Help' button at the bottom left of the screen opens a help page that says 'Documentation not found' because there is no useful help document associated with that KCM.

This is true for 25 of the KCMs - a full list is attatched. 

Until the help documents are completed for the KCMs (and therefore no help documentation is available) the 'Help' button should be greyed out and re-enabled when the documentation is corrected. 

As things are currently, users may just learn to ignore all 'Help' buttons because when they click many of them they just get 'Documentation not found'.

Reproducible: Always

Your attached list ist really outdated compared to the errors I found on a kf5 system compiled from sources nearly 3 weeks ago, see attachment of 
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-doc-english&m=141407846711610&w=2

In most cases you reported an error I get the associated dockbook opened in KHelpcenter.

Systemsettings is just a shell around the KControl modules and not responsible for the issues you mentioned or from the attachment of my mail -> systemsettings is the wrong product.

To get bugs fixed please report them separately for each KControl module.

For the reasons I gave I'll mark this report as invalid.

Thanks foryour report.
