WaveForms doesn't show help

[1988maciejt]

Hi,

I have a simple question about WaveForms beta (the newest).

I use it on more than one PC (all Windows 10 x64), but on one of them the WaveForms does not show content of the help tab (the only visible thing is table of content). I ried many things, but I have no further idea, so my uestion is: do anybody know what the issue may be dependent on? What may be wrong on that PC? :)

Hi @1988maciejt,

I have moved your question to a more appropriate section of the Forum where the creator of the WaveForms software will be able to see your feedback.

Thanks,
JColvin

Hi @1988maciejt

Try reinstalling the WF application.

The html files for help should be deployed to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Digilent\WaveForms3\doc\

Use Help/Browse to open in default browser.

Hi @attila,

thanks for your response!

So what I made is:
1. WF reinstalled completely (removed -> reset PC -> installed)
2. Doc HTMS files are available where you pointed to, as well as are very well opened by any browser I tried
However,
3. In WF GUI I can see only the content of toc2.html and nothing more. Links are not working. 

And as I said, it regards to only one of my PCs (all with the same version of Windows 10 and, as far as I know, similar set of software).

Being a programmer I know that this feature is maybe not the most important (you showed the other way to see HELP which is working well), but that's very interesting WHY it does not work...

Hi @1988maciejt

This is the first time I hear such problem.

I don't know what could be wrong... eventually some Windows security options. 
1. Try running WF as Administrator.
2. Uninstall WF and make sure to delete the C:/Program Files (x86)/Digilent folder to remove any locked/remaining files-folders and reinstall.

I've added for the next software version to show the url as placeholder text in case the page is no loaded.

Hi @attila,

I tried suggested things:

1. Uninstalled all Digilent software (it means: WF, including all runtimes and Adept).
2. Permanently removed C:/Program Files (x86)/Digilent folder.
3. Rebooted PC.
4. Installed WF, using Administrator priviledges ("run as Admin").

...and nothing changed - see attached image, this is what I can see on the 'Help' Tab. However, as mentioned, all other features are working well. And you probably can't imagine how professional is your software and what professional tasks is it realizing for me (could I have some suggestions - including pieces of code- how to extent functionality of WF?) :)

Best regards,

Maciej

Hi @1988maciejt

Drag the splitter from the right ?

I've made this splitter non-collapsible for the next sw version.

Hi @attila

Oh ah**t!!!!

I'm sorry for that!! 
I told I'm a programmer? Forget it..... I have to change my profession... :D:D:D

So what about my suggestions to improve features? May I suggest something with background? I.E. on Priv? :)

Hi @1988maciejt

Sure, suggestions are welcome.
