Dear Friends,

a single very simple request: I think it would be nice to see a version number on both Component Reference and User Guide pdfs.

Thank you in advance,

andrea

Just to take things off topic a bit, does anyone else have trouble launching the guides from the help menu? Doesn't work for me on Win7x64.

Same OS - just copied and tested... Works fine with Adobe reader!

To clarify: the files open fine in Adobe Reader if I open them directly or from Explorer. I just get no response if I choose either of the guides from the help menu in SM v2.0.3.

To continue my thread hijack...

I've found that if I delete the pdfs from SM directory, then SM will happily launch a browser and load the guides from the net. But with the pdfs in the SM directory, nothing happens.

I tried it and didnt have any maunals in my Synthmaker forlder so it got them via Safari. I then saved thowse pdfs to my SM folder and now they open as they should. Perhaps you need to doublecheck the names of your pdfs? Or delete them and download them again?

Andrew: Is .PDF correct associated with ur PDF Reader?!

Andrew J ·

Sure is, they open OK from everywhere else but SM and launch from the command line. So I'm stumped!

Hmm - last ideas:

1. did u copied them with the correct User right(s) 2. or an active Antivir/Trojan prog that don't like SM to call the PDF???

Eureka! The permissions were all OK, the problem was the ownership. When I changed the ownership from my account to "Administrators" all was OK at last.

Thanks Walter!
