Hey highend, I hope all is well. I installed your latest version (1.1.4) as of today (and using latest beta of XYplorer) and updated the paths to the files as shown below, but I noticed the scripting commands section only has an # as seen in the screen save. I thought the main screen in the past listed them all of the commands there. Is that no longer true or is there a problem somewhere? When I double click on the single # (by itself), it sends me to the standard listing of scripting command in the help file. When I click on the "# Advanced Topics - Scripting Command Reference #" line, I receive an error in the status bar "A caption with no real content was selected, aborted!"
Code: Select all
[General]
LastVersion=23.80.0105
; Use false if you want to use the rtfm command instead
UseExtViewer=true
RunAsUser=D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts\Run as user_x64.exe
ExtViewer=D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts\ShowHelpFile.exe
; The exclamation mark is NOT allowed as a value!
; A divider can only be ONE character
; AdvTopicsScripting AND AdvTopicsScriptingCR
; MUST BOTH HAVE a character that IS NOT used by any of the others

Hi Ken,
everything's fine
Try v1.1.5, please.
You need to set:
LastVersion=23.80.0105
to an older value, e.g. 23.80.0104
to trigger the extraction again with that version

I wonder why help topic window opens in right side of screen(half of window actually gets out of view), and if there is some way to change that?

In Show help topics.ini, does ExtViewer= have a value?
If yes, go to the folder of that .exe and change the Left= and Top= values in the .ini file there...

That helped, thank you! Guess info about positioning/size should be mentioned in first post.

Just a heads up, with the renaming to
Xyplorer64.chm in the TB edition, it would seem this script needs updating.
I looked through the source files and updated them as I found them, but it still threw an error...
Code: Select all
The system cannot find the file specified. (C:\Users\WirlyWirly\AppData\Local\Temp\~XY_CHM\XYplorer.hhc)

Yup, working beautifully, I've been using it since day 1 and had almost forgotten it wasn't a built-in function.
Thanks a bunch

Another small change for v1.1.9: Extraction path is now bitness dependent as well

Looks like this script needs updating again after the help file was renamed.
