Description Buovjaga 2018-02-26 19:43:17 UTC

See the commands in Menus, Toolbars or Context menus. In 6.0, the Description field used to have stuff, but now it's always empty.

I tried in safe mode to be sure.

I noticed this some months ago but I thought it's still in progress.

This is not duplicate of bug 112237. The other bug is about already added commands.

Comment 4 Muhammet Kara 2018-02-27 05:56:34 UTC

To see the descriptions:
- If building from source, you need to add --with-help to your autogen.input file.
- If installing a release/dev build, you need to install the local help package for your language.

Otherwise, the description field will come empty and disabled. This is the expected behavior.

To be sure, I have tested again on:

Ok, I had
--with-help=common
--with-help=html

but apparently that is not enough or the offline html help is not yet working.
