#7 Direct URL
Great program. Often, in the Web Help, I would like to navigate to one of the help topics and then email a person the link to that specific help topic. Right now, as you navigate the help file the URL is always showing 'index.html'. So what I do is right click on the topic and choose 'Open in New Window' and that gives just the topic I want (with the URL) in a new Window. Unfortunately this new Window does not allow someone to get back to the index page.
Perhaps each page can have a link icon, similar to google maps, which when pressed gives you a full URL (or something...) that I can then easily email to someone. Just a though.
Right, an icon link would be nice.
Right now, you can link to a page (or a section into the page) using the title of the section. So, if your page title is "sectiontitle", and your web help root is "http://www.example.com/helpdirectory/" , you can link directly to it with "http://www.example.com/helpdirectory/index.html?topic=sectiontitle", as described on the application help. Example: "http://chmprocessor.sourceforge.net/index.html?topic=Downloads". If this don't work, its a bug.
Added a new webhelp template (jquery) on the 1.7 version with this feature. Each time you click on a help tree node, the URL stores the title of the node clicked. If you copy this URL, you can send it by email.
