Missing info in help for hidden tabsets

Post by PeterH »

As said: help shows info about tabsets
- but no info that it's (now) hidden
- and no tip how to unhide it.

I think the same for UDC ...

That's not ok, isn't it?

Are you using the F1 help from within XY? If so, try looking at the pdf help users manual
https://www.xyplorer.com/download/XYplorerHelp.pdf

Thanks - but I did (only) look into .pdf.
As far as I know both are identical ...

But the problem is not that *I* couldn't solve the problem.
Help info displaying some function, but not describes how to enable them, lacks continuity.

Most users will never use these features, so I removed them from the default setup a few months ago, and no one has asked for them since. Most users will also never look at the help file. :)

And yes, Help and PDF Help are identical.

Can't help myself ...
I don't ask for much, but just telling "it's disabled, and can be enabled by ..." in the sections documenting tabsets shouldn't be too much?
By the way: it's almost nothing compared to the lexisting documentation - but shows how to use it. Now it's just "hanging in the air".

OK: my POV.
