You can install with default options and so you just click Next, Next, Next and Finish :-). You still have to enable Python in PN which is a bit more effort but this is really a bit and opens new world for you :-). To be more exact you need to download PyPN zip and extract it to th PN folder. Then you just run <code>pn --findexts</code>.</p> <p>This is all described here:<br /> <a href="http://www.pnotepad.org/add-ons/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pnotepad.org/add-ons/</a> </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5448#post-8312 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 16:34:09 +0000 HeelX 8312@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>@simon: Thanks for your reply. I changed it to:</p> <p>Command: C:\Windows\hh.exe<br /> Parameters: D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1\3dgs_manual.chm</p> <p>The output says: "&gt; "C:\Windows\hh.exe" D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1\3dgs_manual.chm"</p> <p>but it still doesn't open. I also tried to use both C:\Windows and D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1 as Folder, but it doesn't matter. I tried it in the cmd commandline with the following line:</p> <p>C:\Windows\hh.exe D:\Dev\Engines\A8.30.1\3dgs_manual.chm</p> <p>and the .chm gets correctly opened.</p> <p>@Nux: Thank you very much, this looks interesting. But before I use this, it would be quiet helpful if I can open the CHM just on pressing F1. If this works, I will turn to this for sure :-) Am I right that this is a Python script and I have to install Python for it? And how am I supposed to add this correctly to PN? </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5448#post-8311 Sat, 10 Sep 2011 16:14:12 +0000 Nux 8311@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>@HeelX: You can use <a href="http://scriptshare.rocketmonkeys.com/script/35">this script</a> to open help AND go to a certain help page.

Try creating another tool that does not capture output; maybe name it "Execute (No Capture)" or something. Then uncheck "Capture output" in "Edit Tool Properties-&gt;Console I/O". Then use this tool when working with wxPython. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5143#post-7584 Thu, 20 Jan 2011 19:39:51 +0000 cxg 7584@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I've got a relatively simple tool I've rigged up to run my Python scripts that looks like this:</p> <blockquote><p>Name: Execute<br /> Command: %(PYTHON_HOME)\python.exe<br /> Folder: %d<br /> Parameters: %f </p></blockquote> <p>It works great for running simple console apps and basic Tkinter GUI apps as well, but when I try to run it with wxPython code it just hangs.
