hi matteo, the help patches for gem usually go into doc/5.reference/Gem (the capital letter G makes no difference on Windows). but there is no rule about this, and since the subdirectories of 5.reference are *not* searched by default, you can also put them directly into doc/5.reference. otherwise you have to add the path in your settings, which for vanilla is probably not set by default. good luck, marius.

Hi,
I've just installed the latest 0.91 beta GEM version for windows, using the .bat installer that comes in the package, which copies all help and documentation files where (supposedly) needed. I installed it over a pd-vanilla 0.41-2.
In the installer patch I edited the following lines:
REM where does PD reside ?? set PDPATH="%PROGRAMFILES%\pd 0.41-2" REM which pd-version do we have ? set PDVERSION=0.41If I create an [alpha] or [color] or [gemwin], [gemhead], [pix_texture], [rectangle] or ALMOST any objects, and then right-click on them and select "help", I get the message:
sorry, couldn't find help patch for "alpha.pd"
But I do can get the help patch for [pix_film] and [pix_movie] !!!! (they seem to be the only 2 objects whose help I can open, among the ones I have tried).
What am I doing wrong?
I now see that all the help patches have been copied to %PDPATH%/extra/help-Gem
I have also tried by manually copying them also into %PDPATH%/doc/5.reference/gem but it doesn't work either.
Where should I put the help patches???
On another machine where I installed an older version of GEM it used to work......
