Hi,

since help files is something directly used/delivered with KiCad (nothing that a user can/will change), shouldn’t this directly go into the bundle.
E.g., kicad.app/Contents/SharedSupport/help?

If you put on the same level as kicad.app, you can’t move kicad.app around as you like I guess (without moving also help files around).


Regards,
Bernhard
