Bug Description
Architecture: 64 bit
OS=Linux Mint 14 KDE Ed. , 64-bit, running natively, not virtually.
Installation Method: thru Mint's package manager
Version of OPENSHOT = 1.4.0

This problem has been discussed on numerous Linux boards and blogs. The problem itself is very simple: When in Openshot and you select F1 for help, or use the 'Help, Contents' menu, help will not open and you receive a dialogue: "Unable to open the help contents. Please ensure the openshot-doc package is installed".
1--the openshot doc package IS installed.
2--YELP is installed.
3--using Yelp in the terminal window, with the following syntax: "yelp /usr/share/
4--It will not, however, work within the program.
I've seen this issue on forums / blogs / help desks for over a year. Is there a solution to this?

I'm not sure if it's the same underlying issue or not, but any apps I try and open Help for in Linux Mint (13) open a browser window that takes me to the Linux Mint home page - this happens even using the terminal command. Something about the help system in Mint is a bit borked.
