[Github-comments] [geany/geany] "Help" button does not work (#2405)

[rovf]

When inside the "Einstellungen" (preferences) dialogue I click on "Hilfe" (help), no Helpwindows opens, instead I get the error message in the message pane:

14:21:42: Konnte URI "C:/Program Files (x86)/Geany/share/doc/geany/html/index.html#general-startup-preferences" nicht öffnen: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.

I don't understand, why this error message pops up, because using Windows Explorer, I can locate the index.html under exactly this path.

My guess is that this is related to the weird Windows naming conventions, where several alias names are used for the same folder, depending on the locale of the Windows installation. So, while Windows Explorer can find the html directory when pasting the string

    _C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\share\doc\geany\html_

into the Windows explorer bar, the left side pane (which shows the directory tree) displays the top-level directory not as "Program Files (x86)", but as "Programme (x86)", so perhaps the correct path to be used should be

   _C:\Programme (x86)\Geany\share\doc\geany\html_
