Raw Normal View History

WinHelp to HtmlHelp conversion, part 1 The original version of CiderPress used a WinHelp help file, built with an application called HelpMatic Pro. This app used a proprietary format, and had no facility for exporting to "raw" HPJ + RTF files, so I decompiled the HLP and imported it into HelpScribble. Using HelpScribble, I cleaned up the help file formatting a little, fixed up the table of contents, and exported as "raw" HtmlHelp (HHP, HHK, HHC, and a whole bunch of HTML). I also split the pop-up help text, which isn't supported by HelpScribble, into a separate text file that Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop understands. I'm checking in the files that HTML Help Workshop needs to generate a CHM, so anyone can update the help text. I'm also checking in the CHM file, rather than adding the help workshop to the build, so that it's not necessary to download and configure the help workshop to build CiderPress. This change adds all of the updated help, but only updates the Help and question mark button actions for one specific dialog. A subsequent change will update the rest of the dialogs. This change is essentially upgrading us from a totally obsolete help system to a nearly-obsolete help system, but the systems are similar enough to make this a useful half-step on the way to something else. The code will centralize help activation in a pair of functions in the main app class, so any future improvements should be more limited in scope. This also adds a build step to copy the CHM to the execution directory.

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">In some cases you may want to launch an external viewer to handle certain types of files stored in ShrinkIt archives or disk images.&nbsp; For example, CiderPress does not have a built-in GIF or JPEG viewer.&nbsp; If you put "gif; jpg; jpeg" in this field, then any files that end with those extensions will be opened using the default viewer (the program that gets run if you double-click on the file in Windows).</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">The file extensions are separated by semicolons, and should not include a leading dot ('.').&nbsp; You will need to configure the default "open" handler in Windows for the specified file extensions yourself.&nbsp; This can usually be done by opening a folder from My Computer, selecting "Folder Options" from the "Tools" menu, clicking on the "File Types" tab, and then editing the entry for the file type in question.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">When you double-click a file with a matching extension, it is extracted to a temporary file and handed to the external viewer.&nbsp; When you exit CiderPress, all of the temporary files created in this manner are deleted.&nbsp; If an external viewer still has the file open, it may not be possible for CiderPress to remove it.&nbsp; The file will eventually be removed by the Windows disk cleanup feature.</FONT></P>
