Category: pd-extended Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: whyameye (whyameye) Assigned to: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Summary: Gem right-click help broken: Win32 Pd-extended 0.40-3

Initial Comment: running Pd version 0.40.3-extended-20080721 (released version) I get error "sorry, couldn't find help patch for "<insert Gem object here>" if I right-click on any Gem object and select "help" from the context menu. The Gem help patches are available, however, if I drill down to them through 5.reference -> Gem in the browser of the help menu.

Message: For the currently released 0.40-3 there's an easy fix: * Open Pd * Go to File -> Startup... * At the bottom of the dialog screen that opens, you will see a textbox labeled "Startup flags:". Click inside the text box * Using the right arrow, move your cursor to the very end of the text in the text box. Add one space, then type this *exactly* as it is here: -helppath c:/PROGRA~1/pd/doc/5.reference/Gem * (note the space after helppath and no other spaces) * click "apply" then click "ok" * close Pd * reopen and the right-click for help patches should work

Message: Yeah, this has been fixed, but the Windows build machine died before I could get the fixed release out. John Harrison and Joao Miguel Pais have donated the new parts, I just need to get the time to get that machine up and running again. Or someone else could try their hand at Windows builds:
