XYplorer Beta Club

One thing that really annoys me is starting the help manual. The way XYplorer is starting the help manual right now seems to "link" the current process of XYplorer with the help manual and as a result, when you quit, restart, XYplorer crashes, or whatever, the help manual exit as well. Furthermore, the help manual is always grouped with XYplorer even though they're not the same program. So I was wondering if Don would change that in the future. Of course you could always start it manually or use ::open <pathtohelp> but then what's the point of F1 or "Help" -> "Contents and Index"?

Does anyone use F1 to open it? *g*

Faster, easier (if you know what you're looking for) and because it's using the sc rtfm, it will stay open, when XYplorer get's closed.

Ofc this doesn't solve the "problem", but it circumvents it. Better than nothing until Don makes some changes.

Wow that's a very nice script you made! I don't know how I miss that. Anyways yeah that is a very good alternative right now and solves all my issues plus some more.

Anyway haha I do use F1. But yes, I hope Don fixes those problems. It's just odd that the help manual have those kind of annoying problems. Thanks!

Isn't this the standard behavior for help under Windows?

I found out that it is a standard behavior. So I guess nothing can really be done about it. Well, the script turns out to be really helpful because it does end up opening the Help manual in a "different" window. Anyway, this is not really a problem anymore. Thanks!
