Description Georg Michael Steyer 2023-08-25 13:17:32 UTC
I use MX-Linux 23 (debian bookworm) and KDevelop 5.10.221202. If I want to add a documentation via Einstellungen (settings), documentation/Qt-Hilfe (path: /home/luzifer/Daten/Programmierung/Literatur/Qt/Hilfedateien/cppreference-doc-en-cpp.qch) it is not possible to open this documentation via the documentation-window in the IDE itself.
BTW: The same Procedure works perfect under KDevelop 5.6.2 in MX-Linux 21.3 (debian bullseye)

Configure KDevelop=>Documentation=>Qt Help=>Load Qt Help files from directory: <choose /home/luzifer/Daten/Programmierung/Literatur/Qt/Hilfedateien>. This works for me in almost latest KDevelop master. 

Make sure that the Qt Documentation plugin is enabled in Configure KDevelop=>Plugins. If it still doesn't work, how exactly? Is the Qt documentation item missing from the combobox in the Documentation tool view? Depending on which other documentation the directory contains, the C++ Standard Library reference row could be hidden among KDE and Qt documentation rows when the QtHelp combobox item is selected.

There is a bug with old documentation. A workaround to that bug is to remove *.qhc files from ~/.local/share/kdevelop/ ; then remove the documentation path from KDevelop settings; Apply; add the documentation path again.
