I have a "can't find manual" error when I click "view manual". It exists in /usr/share/doc/packages/yoshimi/doc/yoshimi_user_guide but it doesn't see it. However, if I have it anywhere in the home directory it finds it. So maybe a problem with it being in the root privileges area.

I'm using OpenSuse and got it through geekos.

Hmmm. We've had this mentioned before. It's them not using the usual recognised routes.
I had considered widening the search criteria in Yoshimi but that significantly slows it down.

[Largos]

If it helps, /usr/share/doc/packages/ is used by most of the programs in OpenSuse for their documentation so it's not something they picked at random. So maybe target that particular directory? I know it can be found in the wastebin

[folderol]

The problem with that is it could potentially become a game of whack-a-mole with increasing 'special cases'.
What I've been thinking of for a while is to do the current search, and if it's not found give the user the option of Yoshimi searching the entire file system for the most recent copy of the guide (with a warning this would be very slow) then storing that location for future calls.

[Loki Harfagr]

You're right, maybe give them some chance and first try to simplify that complication, for example decide you'll use /find/ but from usual suspect base and on your side place a canary file within the packable source?, eg:

Code: Select all

 \touch  $(echo "Yoshimi$(date +%s)" | base64)".canary"
 find /usr/doc /usr/share/doc -file -name yourspecificcanaryfileasabove
