Description:
When invoking the Help->Contents menu item in MySQL Query Browser, nothing happens. If run from a console the following output can be observed:

unhandled exception (type Glib::Error) in signal handler:
domain: g-file-error-quark
code  : 4
what  : Failed to open file '/usr/share/doc/packages/mysql-query-browser/query-browser.html': No such file or directory

How to repeat:
Run MySQL Query Browser from a console.
Invoke the Help->Contents menu item.
Check the console output.

Suggested fix:
Look for the file in the right place. :)

Thank you for a problem report. Please, try to repeat with a newer version, 1.2.4 rc (from GUI Tools 5.0r4), and inform about the results.

I'm having this problem also after I just downloaded and installed version 1.2.12 today (13Sep2007).

Also, with the sidebar for an older version 1.2.4beta I used to be able to select more SQL statements to get the syntax, but many of them are gone now. (In particular, SELECT isn't there anymore. I can scroll down to it once the help page is loaded from something else, but I can't go there directly.

My installation of MySQL and mysql-gui-tools is in a nonstandard place since I don't have root. Why not have query-browser.html somewhere under mysql-gui-tools-5.0/share ? Perhaps even in the same place as the other HTML files?

$ find . -name \*.html
./share/mysql-gui/query-browser/mysqlqb_quickstart.html
./share/mysql-gui/query-browser/mysqlqb_functions.html
./share/mysql-gui/query-browser/mysqlqb_statements.html
