Zeal: Missing version specific search keywords (python, ruby, java, qt)

[azmodude]

Hi,

I have both the Python 2 and Python 3 docsets installed.
In zeal 0.2.x one could use the python 2: function and python 3: function prefixes/syntax to search in the respective docsets.
This seems to be no longer the case? python: function works just fine, the other return just nothing at all.

Thanks!

Zeal tries to use the same logic as Dash (details), and not use docset name as a prefix. Unfortunately, now now for Python 2/3 there's only python: prefix. Dash itself provides python2: and python3:, but I don't see where those are coming from. @Kapeli could you shed some light here?

[Kapeli]

In Dash those are hardcoded (because I was dumb back then).

The hardcoded cases are:

if([platform isEqualToString:@"python"])
{
    NSString *docsetName = docset[@"docsetName"];
    if([docsetName hasPrefix:@"Python 2"])
    {
        return @"python2:";
    }
    else if([docsetName hasPrefix:@"Python 3"])
    {
        return @"python3:";
    }
}
else if([platform isEqualToString:@"java"])
{
    NSString *docsetName = docset[@"docsetName"];
    if([docsetName isEqualToString:@"Java SE7"])
    {
        return @"java7:";
    }
    else if([docsetName isEqualToString:@"Java SE6"])
    {
        return @"java6:";
    }
    else if([docsetName isEqualToString:@"Java SE8"])
    {
        return @"java8:";
    }
}
else if([platform isEqualToString:@"qt"])
{
    NSString *docsetName = docset[@"docsetName"];
    if([docsetName hasPrefix:@"Qt 5"])
    {
        return @"qt5:";
    }
    else if([docsetName hasPrefix:@"Qt 4"])
    {
        return @"qt4:";
    }
    else if([docsetName isEqualToString:@"Qt"])
    {
        return @"qt4:";
    }
}
else if([platform isEqualToString:@"cocos2d"])
{
    NSString *docsetName = docset[@"docsetName"];
    if([docsetName hasPrefix:@"Cocos3D"])
    {
        return @"cocos3d:";
    }
}

I noticed this, too. python 2 and python 3 prefixes still worked with the CI build from September, 15th. So it must be very recent change.

@thorstenkampe probably this one: https://github.com/zealdocs/zeal/commit/236eb007e4a2d8b9e83f9218d2fd4eba75c9b970.

This is pretty crutial for docsets where different versions matter (Python for me).

[FichteFoll]

I don't want to annoy, but could you perhaps raise priority for this issue? I need documentation on both Python 2 and 3 available but I get almost every entry twice now (when prefixing with python:).

[trollixx]

There's no priority list. Whenever I get a free moment, I try to fix or
implement something. Sorry for inconvenience, but I cannot give any
promises. Zeal is not a commercial product, and is really slacking in
development pace.

This issue requires some server side work for a proper fix, so might take
some time.

The following keywords are now available:

| Docset | Keyword |
| --- | --- |
| Cocos3D | cocos3d |
| Java SE6 | java6 |
| Java SE7 | java7 |
| Java SE8 | java8 |
| Python 2 | python2 |
| Python 3 | python3 |
| Qt 4 | qt4 |
| Qt 5 | qt5 |
| Ruby on Rails 3 | ror3* |
| Ruby on Rails 4 | ror4* |
| Ruby on Rails 5 | ror5* |

* Dash doesn't have version-specific keywords for the RoR docsets.

To make use of these keywords delete the affected docsets, update the docset list, and download the docsets back.

Thank you very much, I'll try a new version from git later tonight,

[FichteFoll]

Thank you, works like a charm!
