[PD] question on help patches path

[enrike]

Yes they are all already named as you say. If the library folder is 
located in extra then they all open with rightclick > help, so the names 
should be fine. But PD cannot find them if the library is located next 
to the patch I am working on. We tried yesterday under Windows and now I 
tested it on Linux
