Probably too late to catch Mageia1. Once the new cycle of Cauldron starts it'll be packaged and pushed to Mageia 1 backports.

*** Bug 1468 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

CC: (none) => luigiwalser

Package imported in Cauldron; leaving the report open until it's backported to Mageia 1 (should be soon).

Assignee: bugsquad => ahmadsamir3891

The package should land in the "Core Backports Testing" repository soon, please test it.

Tested on my i586 system. Once tested on a 64 bit system, kchmviewer is ready
to move from Core Backports Testing to Core Backports

I can also confirm that the package is working fine.  Thanks!

Tested on x86_64 : Ok.

Can someone from the sysadmin team push the package
kchmviewer
from Core Backports Testing to Core Backports please.

The srpm is kchmviewer-5.2-0.1.mga1.src.rpm

This package was present in Mandriva 2010.2 so it can go to updates_testing rather than backports_testing. Ahmad, do you want me to take care of it ?

kchmviewer-5.2-2.mga1 should land in core/updates_testing shortly.

It works (tested on i586), but :
* I have encoding problems (no problems with the same file in okular except that okular takes ages to open it). See attached screenshot. The test file is the french php manual : http://www.php.net/get/php_enhanced_fr.chm/from/fr.php.net/mirror
* .chm files are not associated with kchmviewer

Encoding problem in kchmviewer

Look in the Settings and in Version-specific settings, what do you have selected under To show HTML content, use?  If it's QTextBrowser, try changing it t KHTMLPart.  I had to do that to get it to work correctly.

Also, kchmviewer has no icon in the menu.

Better indeed. Maybe there's a way to set that as the default ?

-3.mga1:
- Add a patch to make it use KHTMLPART by default
- Install some more icons

kchmviewer is associated with .chm files here, using dolphin.

kchmviewer is associated with .chm files in Dolphin and Konqueror, although Okular is the default association, as .chm files sort of work in Okular (they work better in kchmviewer).

(In reply to comment #16)
> kchmviewer is associated with .chm files here, using dolphin.

Right, now it's ok, dolphin mhad a lag concerning file associations

Hey, computer, I didn't want to validate this previous comment !

Testing of ths srpm
kchmviewer-5.2-3.mga1.src.rpm
From Core Updates Testing complete on i586.

The menu entry is available under the Office entry.
Opening a .chm file from dolphin or konqueror works with a right click/open with.

Everything is ok except icons, I still don't see any icon next to the menu entry. Do others see the icon (should be a green icon showing a book put on a second book) ?

Don't forget to add your fixes to the Cauldron version of the package also.

Regarding Comment 21, the attached image shows the tiny green icon on

Here on another computer the icon is fine. I don't know why it would update on the other computer, even after removing then reinstalling the software.

Consider the icon issue fixed.

Testing complete on i586, could someone test on x86_64 ?

Testing complete on x86_64

Okular is  the default viewer. The test document I was using would not open in okular (locked up), but opens OK on kchmviewer

David GEIGER, what version of KDE do you have installed?

I have ...

Sorry,I did not specify the versions.

I have :
$ kde4-config -version
Plate-forme de développement de KDE : 4.6.5 (4.6.5)

$ rpm -qa | grep kchmviewer
kchmviewer-5.2-3.mga1

I get the same crash viewing

un-validating the update

> un-validating the update 

unfinished phrase : I meant "un-validated the update per comment #28"

Why un-validate it?  Because it crashes on one file on one platform?  It works on plenty of files and certainly works better than Okular.  The crash is probably an upstream bug.  That can be dealt with later.  Why not push the package?  Having it, when it works well for all but this one case is better than not having it at all.

Because we don't know on how many computers it will crash, so potentially this could give a non-working app for many people. Maybe you're right and this is a very isolated bug, but I think it is better to check that before submitting the update. Also, maybe the problem is as simple as a missing requires and would be easy to solve. We can't know until we look at it closer. 

Also, 2 different testers had the crash so it's a bug that can be reproduced, which gives hope that we can find the reason of the crash without too much trouble.

However, it would be good to have the crash studied very quickly so that the update is not delayed too much.

Ahmad, can you take care of it ?

I made a quick search (should have done it before, but you know, things take time and sometimes you think it would take more time than it really takes...) and it looks like people were having the same problem with the german php doc 2 years ago :

http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=25125

So this definitely looks like an upstream bug. I'll update kchmviewer to the latest version in case it fixes the bug and if not we'll validate the update regardless of this bug and create a separate bug report for it.

I pushed kchmviewer-5.3-1.1.mga1 to Core Updates Testing. Please test :
- that it works well 
- whether the crash still occurs (David Geiger and Derek Jennings) or not

I've tested kchmviewer-5.3-1.1.mga1.src.rpm on my i586 system, and
it's working.

As in comment 29, it does not crash here.  Still need testing on x86-64.

When pushed to updates, kchmviewer-5.2-0.1.mga1.src.rpm should be removed
from Core Backports Testing.

Still has the same crash observed in the previous version but otherwise works fine on x86_64, validating.
