Hi,

is it possible to change the new internal H14 help browser to the system default browser, like safari, chrome or firefox ? It's really slow on my system. Scrolling the help pages is a pain, it's stuttering and slow. Even dragging the help window around is stuttering. Loading the local help pages takes also a long time.
I wonder because everything else is really fast.


I'am using OS X 10.10.1.

Please try the latest daily build, H14.0.222. There was a fix for this.

You can also set the Environmental Variable to use a web browser:

HOUDINI_EXTERNAL_HELP_BROWSER = 1

Thanks, works like a charm!

With 14.0.242 on 10.10.2 with Chrome as external browser, Houdini switches back to itself after I press F1 or the help icon. It doesn't happen all the time but it very annoying
Any of you experience the same on Osx?

I just want to add that the string HOUDINI_EXTERNAL_HELP_BROWSER = 1 should be added to Document/Houdini/Houdini.env text file.
