AutoitMike Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I asked about this in 2019 but I never got any answer, but now I need to ask again. I am creating a back up laptop to be set up exactly as what I have now. The back up is the same model of laptop but runs Win 10. The laptop I am using is Win 7 Scite 3.2.0 is installed but clicking "Help" does not load the help window. In the downloads , there is no version 3.2.0 that I can find. I dont see anything named "Help*.* in the Scite folder. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subz Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 It should be a compiled html file (.chm), usually found in C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE folder, unless you installed SciTE directly from https://www.scintilla.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoitMike Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\Scite4AutoIt3.chm exists in both laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subz Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Since SciTE 3.2.0 was included with AutoIt back in 2012, assume you installed Autoit 3.3.10.0 (Index of /autoit3/files/archive/autoit (autoitscript.com)), although don't know why since there have been many script breaking changes since then. You also realize that AutoIt Scite is custom version of Scite and that the Help file you normally see when pressing F1, AutoIt help file? Can you post the file versions of SciTE.exe, AutoIt3.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoitMike Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 Holy $&^%$#@!$$$%!!!! After playing with this issue for 3 days now, sequestered in my den, I have discovered the following: IF YOU HAVE A SCRIPT OPEN THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAVED, HELP DOES NOT WORK!!!! As a matter of fact, any unsaved script will not run (which I already knew) I have been using AutoIt for about 12 years, thousands of lines of code written, never discovered this.

Developers Jos Posted September 17, 2022 Developers Share Posted September 17, 2022 Correct as the f1 depends on the file extension to open the appropriate help option for that particular language.

AutoitMike Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 Are you saying that each tab in the editor can be a different language?? I think that help should just default to English if there is no specific defined language to use. This came about when installing scite not knowing what version it was. As soon as it was done installing the fist thing to do is select help to see the version. But that doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted September 18, 2022 Developers Share Posted September 18, 2022 Language<> country but rather Autoit3/LUA/basic/c++ etc ;). They each have their own helpfile so SciTE will open the appropriate helpfile based on the file extension au3/Lua/bas/cpp. Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.
