Library Browser missing View Documentation menu option

Reported by: OpenModelica@… Owned by: adeas31
Priority: blocker Milestone: 1.16.0
Component: OMEdit Version: v1.16.0-dev
Keywords: View Documentation Cc:

Description

The https://openmodelica.org/doc/OpenModelicaUsersGuide/1.14/omedit.html version 1.14 OpenModelica User Guide "Libraries Browser" description has an image that shows the "View Documentation" menu item for the ChuaCircuit class.

When I right click on the ChuaCircuit class for version 1.14.1-64bit, I see "Information" instead of "View Documentation". As shown in the image below, clicking on "Information" brings up a window with version information fields but without any values. This does not look right. I suspect that the "View Documentation" menu option is inadvertently missing and that the "Information" menu item pop-up should include the appropriate version number values. It would be helpful if the "View Documentation" menu option was available and showed the appropriate class documentation when selected. I suspect that this is how the software is supposed to work.

You are absolutely right, there is both a problem with OMEdit and with the documentation. The problem is still there with 1.16.0-dev.03. I guess we should fix it for the 1.16.0 release.

@adeas31, what do you think?

The view documentation menu item was removed some time ago but the documentation is not updated. I will update it.

Thank you for fixing the documentation. It would be nice if that feature comes back in a future version.

The documentations is fixed in 85cad8f/OpenModelica.
Context menu item is not available but there are other ways to open Documentation Browser. Click on the documentation view button in ModelWidget or use the View menu.
