#1526 Errors in help configuration index.ini

[w-peuker]

I just installed codeblocks-25.03mingw-setup.exe on Windows 11 Pro 64 bit. The CHM help files shipped with this release are

"...\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\docs\manual_codeblocks_fr.chm"
"...\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\docs\manual_codeblocks_en.chm"

The installed "...\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\docs\index.ini contained this

CodeBlocks=codeblocks_en.chm
CodeBlocks_Fr=codeblocks_fr.chm

So the help files could not be found. After I changed the file names in index.ini to match the actual files, both help files could be opened as expected.

When I goes to menu Help>CodeBlocks, it says "Can't open file '...\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\docs\codeblocks_en.chm'", and i found this bug.
Can someone fix this just add "manual_" prefix for values in 'index.ini'?

We had updated the installers to reflect this a long time ago. Is that really still the case? I would wonder...

That's strange, because I downloaded and installed version 25.03 from official website download link 4 days ago:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/25.03/Windows/codeblocks-25.03mingw-setup.exe

Maybe the modified code was not merge into the release branch?
