[digikam] [Bug 346577] New: Digikam does not show help when not running in KDE

            Bug ID: 346577
           Summary: Digikam does not show help when not running in KDE
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.9.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Usability
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

Digikam shows an error message "Could not launch the KDE Help Center: Could not
find service 'khelpcenter'." when starting it in Ubuntu Unity desktop.

If this service is not available when not running KDE, would it be possible to
open a HTML version of the Digikam handbook in a browser, either online or
locally?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start Digikam in Ubuntu Unity desktop (or Lubuntu desktop, or anything non-KDE
I guess)
Click on "Help > Digikam Handbook"

Actual Results:  
Digikam shows an error message "Could not launch the KDE Help Center: Could not
find service 'khelpcenter'." when starting it in Ubuntu Unity desktop.


Expected Results:  
Digikam should *somehow* display its handbook (external browser, manual start
of khelpcenter, etc.)

This is not a major bug, but it's a major usability issue for the default
desktop on the most common Linux distribution. Plus there's an easy fix (start
khelpcenter manually, or start a web browser with the handbook).

This problem do not exist with next 5.7.0 as the handbook is open now with
online version through an embed web browser based on QtWebView
