If you put it in 5.reference folder you can get to it from the help browser. If you put it in the extra folder (that is next to the external file) you can open it by right-clicking an [fluid~] object and choose 'help'. So puting it in both places would maybe give the best enduser experience.
i would definitely NOT recommend putting the file in 2 places. this will lead to inconsistencies over time and you will never know
what is going on. and nobody will be able to help you ;-(
I agree it's dirty, and that it may lead to inconsistencies over
time. But for example a diff could help out locating problems. I
think i'd go for symlinks myself though, just not sure if that's
doable on win32.
btw, 'help''-clicking on [object] will open the help-patch in the reference-folder too, so this is not the reason why you should put it into ./extra
Thanks for clarifying! I was in fact hoping to provoke (in the
positive sense) a reply like this, to gain knowledge my self.
as for the help-browser not being able to browse extra/: this is imo a bug in the help-browser and should be fixed there. please send
petitions to the upstream authors to fix it.
Not to be anal, but i think it is more like a design issue. But
having a 6.extra(-references) that shows the help files from the
extra folder in a organized manner, and leave internal help files in
5.references might be nice wrt separation. And maybe have the PDDP
all-about-* files somewhere else too. But thats just my taste
thursday morning.
