Setup Profile

The very first time you start Qt Assistant, e.g. to be able to read this help, a default profile containing all Qt related documentation will be created. This means also, that there won't be any documentation available (in the contents, index or search) for this example. The only way to get it displayed is by starting Qt Assistant with the file name as command line option.

In order to change that, you have to install a profile. You find the profile file (help.adp) in the help directory. The installation itself is straightforward. Quit the example and enter

assistant -addprofile helpdemo.adp /path/to/your/qt/examples/help/directory

Now, Qt Assistant has installed the profile for this help application. If you restart the example and invoke the help, you'll realize that Qt Assistant is adapted for this example, i.e. no Qt related documention will be visible. Also the caption and some icons have been changed.

NOTE: If you haven't run Qt Assistant before and install this profile you have to install the Qt documentation manually. Do do this start Qt Assistant with:

assistant -intallqtdoc
