Problem with "Update all pages" on IDE Help menu

glad to hear that deleting the old contents solved the problem.

By that it's now almost clear what happend, you must have had any "Stowaway" .txt file in your old help folder, which wasn't actually a "help file" (not existing in the Wiki) which then of course caused the failure.

This is maybe my fault, as I recently deleted some redundant pages from the Wiki and renamed some other to follow the common page naming. I.e. you had the pages with the old names, and when trying to update them, they where no longer available under that name in the Wiki.

Good that you found it, as this will probably affect everybody exept me  Big Grin , as I ALWAYS delete the old help folder contents when testing new Wiki related developments in QB64-PE. Now that I know that, I'll fix it in the next release, so that such changes in the Wiki do not break the page update anymore.

Thank you


Hi again, @RhoSigma

I can confirm that the problem affected at least one other person besides me.

After I followed the instructions for your fix and it worked, I checked with a friend of mine that uses QB64-PE on a Windows 7 64 bit system and he had the same problem except his updates would stop at 58 of 882.

After he deleted the contents of the "...\internal\help" folder his "Update All Pages" also completed to 100%.

As you said, refreshing the contents of the "help" folder for the next release should prevent this problem in the future.

Again,  Thanks for the quick responses and for all the work you do to keep the Wiki maintained.
