Default User definable documentation in the Help Menu

Everyone has there own way of digesting data...While I realize that all the Docs are accessible from the Start Menu (and somewhere I've now forgotten on the Mac) It would be GREAT to be able to drag and drop PDFs in and out of a folder and have them linked to in PT's help menu. Buy a new piece of gear or a plug? Drop it in the folder for a week or two and then drag it back out when your done with it.

Count me in, though I assign mine a Shortcut Key.

Default Re: User definable documentation in the Help Menu

I would like to see smart tags embedded in the documentation so the product comes with documentation that is accurate for the product you bought. Most windows users could give a rats ass about Apple control key short cuts. They would like to learn as quickly as possible the windows control key short cuts from a menu guide that models their working environment.

Funny you mentioned this, I was just working with a new VI and wished I had access to the PDF manual in the Pro Tools menu for quick access instead of surfing my computer looking for it.

+1 billion on this feature!

I can do this in my "other DAW" quite easily by the way.

Maybe a new tab called "Library"? You don't want it to just link to a folder though-you really want the stuff arranged in order in a menu so its easy to find.

EDIT: I just clicked the link and thats pretty much the ticket.
