HELP! rc3 and still no chm help [Workaround Found]

Post by jcfuller »

I was going to file a bugzilla but it appears it has not been updated to rc3 yet

Still No html help.

I heard that codeweavers had fixed the html help bug and hoped the fix might make into
rc3 but no joy. I know most don't feel it's very high priority but it's a real PIA when you are
so used to double clicking on a word in an editor and having the help pop up!

Any chance it will make it in rc4?

I am still bewildered how such a fine product can be lacking one of the basic fundamentals that
has been with us for ten years: chm help files??

Please....

Here is a chm file browser that works fine on Windows but not with 1.0rc3

Actually I was fishing more for a reason a ten year old format was not available.

I did see that but it seemed more specific to one app so I created my own entry:

I did manage to find a work around:
