Qt Creator 3.4.0
-
None
-
* All tests used the QtCreator 3.4.0 release that was downloaded and installed through the Qt Web Installer along with Qt 5.4.
* The same happens on two separate systems (both Windows 8.1).
Description
Steps to Reproduce:
- Add an external QCH file via Tools->Help->Documentation tab.
- Click OK/Apply.
- Exit the Options panel and then open it up again. Note that the new QCH file is now marked as "(auto-detected)".
- At this point, assuming the F1 context help works for the QCH file in question, it opens up fine.
- Quit QtCreator and restart. The QCH file is no longer listed, and context help doesn't work anymore.
What I haven't tested and may test in the future:
- Specifically which release did this bug started to happen.
- Whether or not it happens on equivalent Linux installs.
- Whether or not it also happens on the offline installs.
- Test this on a debug build of QtCreator.
- Current alpha/beta builds of QtCreator.
Other notes:
- Seems to be a recent error, since I would have likely noticed this if the bug were present in the 3.3.* releases (although I may have missed the later bugfix releases.)
- I've attached the QCH file I've extracted from downloading the Windows compile of Qbs for convenience as it's the smallest one I've tested, but it also affects CMake Sphinx-generated QCH docs and the ones from CppReference (not attached due to size) so I'll assume this isn't limited to these particular files.
- Deleting the QtCreator settings files does not help.
