The "Help" buttons in the tikal filter editors don't work

Issue #1119 resolved
Mihai Nita created an issue

Tikal has GUI dialogs that can be used to edit Parameters for various filters.

Some are just a simple edit box where you can change the “raw” (serialized) Parameters, but some have advanced dialogs, with lists, drop-down lists, radio and checkbox buttons, etc.

These dialogs have a “Help” button that does nothing.

How to reproduce:

  • run tikal -e
  • a dialog with a list of all supported filters is displayed
  • select a filter in the list and click “View…”
    or simply double-click on the filter
  • if the new dialog has a “Help” button (bottom-left), click it
  • => nothing happens

Expected: a help page opens (corresponding to the filter being edited)

Complete list of filters that have a “Help” button:

  • Haiku CatKeys
  • IWSXLIFF
  • Java Properties
  • Java Properties (Output not escaped)
  • JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)
  • Markdown
  • Microsoft Office Document
  • MIF (beta)
  • OpenDocument
  • OpenOffice.org Documents
  • Plain Text (all variants)
  • PO (both “Monolingual” and “Standard”)
  • Properties with complex HTML Content
  • Regex Default
  • SDLXLIFF
  • Skype Language Files
  • Spliced lines (all variants)
  • SRT Sub-Titles
  • Table (all variants)
  • Text (“Block=Paragraph”, “Line=Paragraph”, and “Mac Strings“)
  • TS
  • XLIFF

    Similar buttons in the Rainbow step editors work as expected.

    • start Rainbow
    • “Utilities” → “Edit / Execute Pipeline…”
    • “Add Step…”
    • select a step from the list (for example “Cleanup”)
    • click the “Step Help“ button (bottom/left)
    • => takes us the the web page for the step (in the “Cleanup” example it takes us to https://okapiframework.org/wiki/index.php?title=Cleanup_Step)
