#1564 Code::Blocks Help Menu Error

[Max Headroom]

The Help menu items CodeBlocks and CodeBlocks_Fr have not worked in years. The problem is that the program is looking for the files here:

C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\share\codeblocks\docs\codeblocks_en.chm
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\share\codeblocks\docs\codeblocks_fr.chm

However, the files are actually located at:

C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\docs\manual_codeblocks_en.chm
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\docs\manual_codeblocks_fr.chm

The critical issue is that the actual file name is manual_codeblocks_en.chm and NOT simply codeblocks_en.chm. Ditto the French version. Apparently the middle use of CodeBlocks in the file name using an uppercase C and B instead of a lowercase c and b is not currently an issue, but who knows what the future holds.

I am using Windows 11 (25H2) and the current version of C::B, but as I said, this has not worked for years.

Hi, thanks for the report, I'm not sure, but is this related to the help plugin?

It is located here:

src/plugins/contrib/help_plugin

Any ideas?
