[Julius Smith]->[[PD-dev] Help search; standard external installation...
|Dear pd-dev, | |When pd searches for a help file in response to "right-click Help" on some |external object, the '~' is removed from the sought filename. This seems |incorrect since it prevents "signal-based" and "message-based" objects from |having the same root name. I would think the '~' should be fundamentally a |part of the module's name. | |My current workaround is to install a symbolic link from "help-name~.pd" to |"help-name.pd" in my doc dir for externals, which seems rather ugly.
the help file can be set: http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/node9.html#SECTION000921000000000000...
