Would you be willing to share this toc.txt file? I can't seem to locate neither it nor any backup_toc.txt file...

I found a backup_toc.txt file. Renaming the file toc.txt and placing it in the location Soft warned about not finding it, restored this functionality with offline docs.

Maybe I gave up too easy, but I remember it being a mess On Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 11:45 AM, Stephen Blair <[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]> wrote: IIRC, the toc.txt is used to populate the pop-up you get when you highlight a command in the script editor and press F1: [Inline image 1] Doing a chm version of the latest SDK doc was just too much work. There were so many changes in how that help was structured and implemented. I did first pass at the help project, but it looked a nightmare and I dropped that project...

Perfect! However, after pointing Soft to the off-line docs, I get this warning on startup: "Couldn't locate the Softimage help topic file (toc.txt). C:\...\doc\en\offline\sdkguide\toc.txt" What is the toc.txt file? No mention of a help toc.txt file in the docs. The help function works as expected. But how can I fix or suppress this warning. I don't want to get into the habit of ignoring warnings every time Soft starts. Another question: Steve Blair made the Soft_User_Guide.html available in Soft_User_Guide.chm format. I prefer the .chm help; seems faster & snappier. Can I force the 'help' commands to use the .chm file? And yet another question: If the above is possible, is a Soft_SDK_Guide.chm file available, to my knowledge only a User Guide was created? If not, how can I make a .chm file from the .html SDK docs?
