Hi Don,

opening the XYplorer64.chm, the content is not displayed.
I attached the XYplorer64.chm wrapped in a zip.
Picture of the problem is also attached.

regards, auto

It's the wrong file anyway. The correct file is called XYplorer.chm.

Ah, I did not see that there were two chm files in the app folder.
It is a completely separate XY TB installation with the latest beta installed.

When I hit F1, the help file that opens shows the error page.
I manually checked both help files. The problem exists with both. Seemingly on all pages.

For reference, I now attached the XYplorer.chm.

That was a mistake. Fixed in next release.

I first installed the new XY TB a while ago. So maybe that XYplorer64.chm is a remainder from that time?

But anyhow, can you confirm and fix the problem with the content in the chm not being displayed?

To unblock a CHM file on Windows, right-click it, select Properties, and then on the General tab, click the Unblock button.

I solved it.

Turns out, I had a "#" character in my path and the chm interpreter did not like that.
I now changed the # to an underline (_) and now it works as expected.
