[Dpgui-user] help viewer in Port Authority 0.6

[Nicholas C. <chu...@cs...>]

I am finding that port authority is causing the help viewer to crash, not 
in particular for itself but system-wide---if I try to open the help 
window from the Finder, it immediately closes itself down.  The console 
reveals the following error message:

2005-08-10 00:40:53.236 Help Viewer[751] -[IdxSearchController 
openIndices:] caught a VTWIN exception. Bad index file is 
/Applications/Port Authority/Port 
Authority.app/Contents/Resources/dpdoc/dpdoc idx


I have tried rebuilding the index using Apples Help Indexer (this worked 
for another application), and I have tried to move various files outside 
the dpdoc directory that didn't seem to be directly related to the help 
functions, figuring they might be causing the indexing to mess up.  (I put 
them back in after the indexing is done.)  However, there is so much stuff 
there I am not sure what's what; I suspect there is simply one or two 
files in there, and possibly whole folders, that shouldn't be there, but I 
don't know.  Any suggestions or fixes?

(I am running latest version of Tiger, by the way.)


Thanks,

Nick Chubrich.
