use CHM-Helkp file instead of current HTML help file

[masu]

A CHM help file has the advantage that you can search the whole document. Which you can't do at the moment

[Rick Brewster]

We used a CHM before but it was a real burden for us to maintain, and it also was no easy task to localize (translate) it for other languages.

As a stop-gap I've uploaded the Paint.NET v2.6 help to our website: http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/doc/2.6/Help/en/

Give it a day or two for the search engines to pick it up, then search it by typing your search terms in to a search engine and adding "site:http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/doc/2.6/Help/en/" to the end of it.

For example, to search for "clone stamp" you'd type:

clone stamp site:http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/doc/2.6/Help/en/

if you want you can use a program i made that allows you to build a compiled html help file from a set of html files. you just have to point it to "C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Help\en". you can download it from http://sapp.telepac.pt/pmcc/bfm/index.html
