Personally I prefer help to be local and not require internet access, and I despise those local help abominations that spew hundreds of html files into the filesystem.
Not sure what's up with the links, maybe we need to make them pass off to the system default browser rather than trying to render them in the HTML help browser.
"Pressing the help button will:
- on Win32 only: if available, open the Windows Help viewer with locally installed user-guide.chm file - and if that fails ... - on all systems: start a web browser and open the corresponding
wireshark.org online page
"
Clicking links in Windows HTML Help viewer is painful (and a little unnerving) with script errors.
Is it time to sunset and have Windows help act like non-Windows platforms?
Or maybe add a step to the CHM build process that makes the links non-clickable so the user would need to copy/paste into a browser?
