the only problem i see here, is that one has to add an extra - helppath for each lib. it would be nice, if that could be avoided by searching pd/doc/5.reference recursively.
No, this would break a lot of things, especially directory prefixed names like [maxlib/scale].
Actually, this is exactly what the libdir code does, and AFAIK, it doesn't break things.
Hm , I can't follow this: Are you saying, that pd-extended already searches pd/doc/5.reference recursively for help files? But if you have, for example, a directory "zexy" with "urn-help.pd" in it and also a directory "maxlib" with "urn-help.pd" in it, and also a toplevel "urn-help.pd", maybe coming from cyclone, how do you select the right help file when you try to open help for "urn"? Searching recursively will find all three and it circuments all directory prefixes.
The current help browser was meant to be a temporary hack. Anyone
want to write the replacement?
I don't know Tk enough. My criticism is just, that the previous file browser was the better temporary hack, because it offered several features, which now are temporarily disbled as well without gaining anything in turn, as far as I can judge.
Ciao
