It would be great, if you could integrate or reference /usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manuals_en/manual/index.html somehow. ============================================================================= The index file is part of the opensuse-manuals_en package, which also comes with /usr/share/help/opensuse-manuals_en.document used by the GNOME help system. The PDF sub-packages such as opensuse-startup_en-pdf also contain document files, e.g., /usr/share/help/opensuse-startup_en-pdf.document. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We (the Documenation Team) is thinking about making openSUSE Docs easily accessible on the xfce desktop. · What do you think about adding an "openSUSE Documentation" menu entry to the "openSUSE" menu of the panel? Maybe, above "Log Out"? This link could open a documentation landing page with the default browser.
Xfce does not ship offline documentation any more, so adding the openSUSE manual directly to the toplevel menu between "About" and "Log out" sounds fine. I would prefer to have some kind of l10n, that is open the version of the manual that matches the users current locale with "en" as the fallback. That could be achieved with a small shellscript and a .desktop file, however I'm not sure about would be the best place to put that. Should that be a separate package opensuse-manuals-xfce on which all opensuse-manuals_* need to depend on or do you have another idea? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

@Karl: So what about the above solution?
I think that way you will not find books with a country part ("_XX") in the directory name; affected candidates are pt_BR, zh_CN, and zh_TW. I'd prefer to deliver a suitable .desktop file with every package, from where you would probably call a script according to your proposal. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

OK, that's fixable though, e.g. by trying de_AT first, the de and then falling back to en.

The problem with that is that it would clutter the main menu with multiple entries when you install multiple language versions of the opensuse-manual packages. Xfce implements the XDG menu spec so it isn't possible to only display the entry corresponding to the manual which matches the current locale while hiding the others. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, that's why I'd prefer some kind of indirection layer--but for the moment, your approach is fine in the opensuse context. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
