Hi, I tried but it doesn't work, same result as before. I tried 'open', 'open -a PATH/TO/Preview'. Here the man page for 'open' https://ss64.com/osx/open.html. In the preferences I also setup an internet browser ('PATH/TO/Safari) and I found a problem: Safari correctly opens, but the address to the file (the help file in this case) is written as: file:///file:/Applications/Denemo.app/Contents/Resources/share/denemo/manual/denemo-manual.html with the double 'file' bit at the beginning.

I just tried from the View menu (by unchecking 'Typeset Music'), but the Print View window reappears as soon as I type and confirm something in a pop-up window. Also, when I relaunch Denemo the Print View window appears, even if it was closed before closing Denemo. > > HTH Richard _______________________________________________ Denemo-devel mailing list Denemo-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/denemo-devel
