Help button (Question mark) not working

Open leodf1 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug: Clicking the Question mark button on various window (top right corner) (eg: Preview File and Split Clip windows), turns cursor into a 'Blocked' icon, and does nothing

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Right click file in Project files
  2. Select Split clip
  3. Click on Question mark in Title bar of Split Clip window (top right corner)
  4. Cursor turns into 'Blocked' icon

Expected behavior: A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

System Details:

  • OpenShot Version [e.g. 2.4.3]: {{ log_context.openshot_qt_version }}
  • Operating System / Distro: [e.g. Windows 10, Linux Mint 17.1]

Log Files: If you are experiencing a crash, please collect and attach logs of the problem. Log files can be found in the .openshot_qt folder in your user home directory. Log files over 2 MB in size will need to be compressed, please attach a ZIP file instead of the raw logs.

Exception / Stacktrace: If you are experiencing a crash or strange output on the command line, please attach a small snippet of the exception here, but please keep it as small as possible (for readability).

This was supposed to be an inline help feature, where clicking the Question mark turns the cursor into a Question mark, and lets you click any object of the UI to get popup description thereof.

Instead cursor turns into a place holder 'Blocked' icon and does nothing.

Probably a place holder feature to be implemented eventually. So not sure if this qualifies as a bug....

Hello @leodf1. This is a known issue and will be addressed as part of a new UI the lead developer is working on. No ETA at this time.
