I can't seem to get the package help menu to work properly on my installation. I'm using Yosemite, though I was having the same problem on Mavericks, under 2.8.6 and 2.8.8.
When I try to use the Packages Help window, the Open button is always greyed out. When I get package help by right clicking on the package name I get the error "texdoc did not respond to query on package: -package name-". Texdoc works fine when invoking it from the terminal "texdoc -package name-", properly bringing up the package documentation.
Does anyone know what the problem is or how I can fix this?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The PATH variable may be different for the command line and GUI programs like TXS. Please try to add the the folder in which texdoc is located to Config -> Build -> Additional Search Paths -> Commands ($PATH)

I have the same problem. And I am also using portable version.
This field does not work correctly with environment variables, like fields in ""Config -> Commands" do. For example I use that command for running LaTeX and it works perfectly:
"%COMMANDER_PATH%..\texlive\bin\win32\latex.exe" -src -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex
I'd like to be able to use such additional search path:
%COMMANDER_PATH%..\texlive\bin\win32
But it fails. Any recommendations?

This has not been supported. Implemented: hg 5930 (d75837199cfe)
Workaround until the next release:
Depending on what you want to achieve
[txs-app-dir]or[txs-settings-dir]may be sufficient: see the manual.That sounds very good. And even better than my way of using alien environment variable %COMMANDER_PATH%. But, unfortunately, it also fails.
I used that path:
[txs-app-dir]\ ..\texlive\bin\win32
// There is no space between \ and .. I just inserted it here, because forum engine somewhy swallows it
Just for clarifying: on my USB flash I have such folder structure:
Programs
├─totalcmd
├─TeXstudio
├─texlive
│ └─bin
│ └─win32
And %COMMANDER_PATH% obviosly points to Programs\totalcmd. I believe [txs-app-dir] points to Programs\TeXstudio.
Does TeXstudio have any means to see real value of [txs-app-dir] ?

sorry.
[txs-app-dir]and[txs-settings-dir]were not interpreted in the additional search paths.fixed: 6041 (05653c00e72d)
