Bug Description

Binary package hint: khelpcenter4

To search in KHelpCenter I installed htdig (see bug 19767), clicked [Build Search Index...] and chose Application Manuals. That completed successfully and search seems to work, but now whenever I click [Build Search Index] it still shows Application Manuals with "Missing" in the "Status" column. I definitely have files in the Index folder location.

The workaround is to quit KHelpCenter and restart it; the Build Search Index dialog then correctly shows Status OK. I'm not sure why the Build Search Index dialog doesn't update until you restart.

KHC is a load of crap and needs a rewrite altogether, no need to track the individual crappyness of each feature (bug?) so I am closing this report as Won't Fix. Though be assured that I will poke whoever seems to have the capabilities to create a new khelpcenter into doing so.

Changed in kdebase-runtime (Ubuntu):
status: New → Won't Fix
