When clicking on "Help" in the menu bar, the following error results, with the last line a hyper-link that presumably searches for the missing files(the search fails).

Document Not Found
The URI 'ghelp:openshot' does not point to a valid page
Search for packages containing this document

When I list the contents of the rpm, the likely missing document files are listed as follows

/usr/share/doc/packages/openshot
/usr/share/doc/packages/openshot/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/packages/openshot/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/packages/openshot/README
/usr/share/man/man1/openshot-render.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/openshot.1.gz

Hi tony,

It is normal because you are not on Gnome which is using Ghelp by default
for displaying help menu.
This situation will change with the 2.0.0 tht we are currently working on.
You should try to install ghelp that this one should resolve this bug.
You have the same documentation online at his address :
http://www.openshotusers.com/
You have too a faq for manuals online :

I noticed that after getting the help file from package manager, the help file then appeared, and the error message disappeared

Thanks

Solution for Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon. Open software manager, search "help", find Openshot-doc in the scrolldown, install. F1 will work.
