Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to get Pd to find the GEM help patches for its objects, but am having no luck so far.<br>
Default installation of pd-extended (version 0.40.3) keeps giving me 'sorry, couldn't find help patch for ...' messages<br>
<br>
I've added the path C/Program Files/pd/extra/Gem to paths. Still no love.<br>
<br>
I have noticed that the folder with GEM helpfiles appear to be in two locations; /extra and /doc/5.reference - is this normal?<br>
<br>
All other helpfiles seem to work without a problem, just can't get Gem to behave :S<br>
<br>
BTW, I've seen this identical problem on every windows installation I know (over half a dozen), including 1 under a virtual machine on Mac OS X.<br>
The Mac-native version of pd-extended does not have this problem.<br>
<br>
The problem is compounded by Pd starting a new instance when you double-click a patch under Windows.<br>
If it would open in the same intance, I'd just have a window with help patches open...<br>
<br>
Any help in solving this would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
