Assistant doesn't show the Phonon classes in Qt 4.4 beta1
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
The subject basically says it all. I compiled beta1 and tried the new
Assistant. It correctly shows all "normal" Qt classes but does not find the
Phonon related class docs. The "Qt Reference Docs -> Classes" lists 20-30
Phonon related classes and docs pages, but clicking on any of these gives an
error like in the tab:
The page could not be found
'qthelp://com.trolltech.qt.440/qdoc/mediaobject.html'
I see some other Phonon related docs in the "Index" tab and these seem to
work, The working ones are for instance the "Phonon Overview", "Phonon
Module" and "Phonon Namespace Reference". Just the classes are missing. All
other tested regular Qt docs seem to work just fine.
A Webkit enabled Assistant doesn't even show the error message, it just shows
an empty tab with no error and no tab title.
This is on a Kubuntu 7.10 system and with Qt X11 Open Source beta 1.
Best regards,
Jan Ekholm

This is a known issue, but thanks for taking the time to report it.
The problem is due to poor namespace handling in the tool used to generate
the index for the help files. We're working on a fix.

As a workaround, you might want to use the online documentation at
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4beta/
If this isn't fixed today, I'll create a task so that you can follow the
progress of this issue. Alternatively, you could file a report here:
