Re: problem with the Help link "getting started in kicad"

 

Hello,
I confirm that I still experience this problem which is here:

mst.kicad/common/basicframe.cpp
338:        // Search for "getting_started_in_kicad.pdf" or
"Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf"
343:        {   // Try to find "Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf"
344:            wxGetApp().GetHelpFileName() = wxT(
"Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf" );

Can somebody maybe suggest a solution or tell me if it is a problem
with my system.

Cheers
Fabrizio
