Title: 1.8.4.1171 Win7 minor script parameter window issue
Post by: mschuster on 2015 August 04 20:06:12

The browse documentation button in the script parameter window does not open a documentation browser.

To reproduce, launch a script that has both new instance and browse documentation buttons (AperturePhotometry or SubframeSelector).

Create a new instance and double click it to open a script parameter window. Click the window's browse documentation button. Nothing happens.

Hi Mike,

The browse documentation button on the Script tool window should open the documentation for the Script process, not for the particular script whose instance is being edited. Script is one of the two internal PixInsight processes (the other one is ProcessContainer). Unlike normal processes, which are implemented by installable modules, internal processes are implemented in the core application.

So there is a small bug here (actually, a lacking routine in the core application---thanks for remembering me that I have to write it), since the Browse Documentation button on these tools should open the Process Explorer window to show the typical (and infamous) "Documentation for Script/ProcessContainer does not exist" message, but not a bug related to any specific script.
