Description:

KchmViewer is a chm (MS HTML help file format) viewer, written in C++. Unlike most existing CHM viewers for Unix, it uses Trolltech Qt widget library, and does not depend on KDE or Gnome. However, it may be compiled with full KDE support, including KDE widgets and KIO/KHTML.

The main advantage of KchmViewer is non-English language support. Unlike others, KchmViewer in most cases correctly detects help file encoding, correctly shows tables of context of Russian, Korean, Chinese and Japanese help files, and correctly searches in non-English help files (search for MBCS languages - ja/ko/ch is still in progress).

KchmViewer is written by George Yunaev, and is licensed under GNU GPL v3 license.

i am sorry. i think it is really nice for you to build a rpm package. but your rpm package is not a googd build. there are options you can give to the configure script. and why are the datas going in strange directories.
as i told you befor i tried to rebuild it form soure with the following options.

./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 --with-kde

my question was, because you have allready been made a rpm package, wheter you could repacking it, using the options above. :)
thank you that would be very nice of you.

I'm curious, can this application be added to KDE4-core?

I don't think so, oKular will, among others, have CHM loading support.

3.0.
after finding a chapter/page in the search tab, clicking on this page should (optionaly?) search for the search term in this page.
currently the search term has to be copied in the search field on top and the search has to be executed manualy.

BTW searching for substrings would be great too.

Hi!
the performance gain is great, but compared to the previous version on SuSE 10.2 the color highglightening is lost. all text is black.

My be my setup is not correct, where can I look?.

I found in versions 2.5, 2.6, and now 2.7 (they are the only versions I have used), I cannot copy paste text out of my .chm file.

I tested it on Debian and on Gentoo.

pupil

i can copy-paste, but i have to manually select the copied text from klipper (ctrl+alt+v). because when i copied some text from kchmviewer, it's not on the top of klipper list (second, sometimes 3rd). i hope you understand what i'm trying to say.
anyway i use sled 10 & KDE 3.5.1.

I suppose that can work, but it would be quicker especially when your using programming tutor books if you could simply control-c control-v :P

Hi!

I thought you'd like to have a look at the screenshot I'd taken for you: http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l72/xtrue_till_deathx/kchm-kio-issue.jpg

Using KDE 3.5.4, kchmviewer 2.6 configured with these options:

./configure --prefix=$KDEDIR --with-kde --disable-debug

Standalone viewer works just fine while KIO-slave acts that weird.

Is it a known bug?

I like working with KIO-slaves and resorted to using kchm for that purpose.

If you could fix the bug kchmviewer would be kicking kchm's ass pretty HARD (no offence guys, I'm just kidding :) )

Thanks for the great contribution anyway!

Looking forward to see an updated and fixed version of kchmviewer.

Kind regards.

I create a rpm for SuSE Linux 10.1.

http://donnie.110mb.com/downloads.php?cat_id=2&download_id=4

pupil

my webhost domain is temporary inaccessible, because some idiots use it for phising activity.
they provided me with a temporary domain at http://donnie.911mb.com.
if you have trouble downloading the rpm, just replace the 110mb.com with 911mb.com

Many many times, I get a ebook in CHM format, but much prefer PDF. Is there a feature you can create to export to PDF?

I know there are some tools for Windows to do such, but they charge for them.

Personally I think it would be a great additional feature to a your application.

You can export from kchmviewer to HTML and later print to PDF from Konqueror.
