In Window 7 & J801 the various help menu items either do nothing, or display a message box saying 'Not'
The problem with a right click, or ctl-v, ctl-c in the ide closing J without any warning still presists. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2013 00:21 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Jbeta] J801: is help enabled yet?

This is under Mac OS X. I had the same problem last night (on Linux). Run jqt as a command from a shell in an OSX Terminal window, not by clicking on the jqt application. That way, you'll often get diagnostic output in that terminal window when things fail. Hit thing "help" menu entries again, and see messages to the effekt "failing to open url ~addon/user/help/some-thing-or-other.html". This reminded me that, after J6, base installations are quite frugal if possible, and many things have to be added using the package manager. install 'user/help' will make you happy. I also spend quite some time on getting acquainted with the http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/JAL/Package%20Manager/jpkg documentation (a fine piece of work). I decided not to install "simply everything" but as things are needed. Like you, I'd to to know where things actually hide. So I continued to explore the QtIDE and added yet another addon whenever one was missing. Mind you: going this route takes its time, I'd say 3 hours with all that poking around when needed, instead of perhaps 1.5 hours of I had done a simple install 'all' right in the beginning. I ended up with 24 installed pkgs vs. 49 ones not needed.
