cdnshelp: open multiple hierarchies from command line?

Hi,

Is it possible to load multiple hierarchies when launching cdnshelp from the command line? I want to write a small shell script that will load the help documents corresponding to the tool versions supported by the different PDKs we have installed on our site. The "-hierarchy" switch only seems to support one argument, and if I put multiple hierarchy switches only the last one is loaded. Right now I have individual links to cdnshelp for each tool, but it would be nice to load all the documents in one instance of cdnshelp.

I know that the user can do this manually once an instance of cdnshelp is open, but I would like to have different hierarchy configurations corresponding to our pdks.

Thanks,

Tarek

    Hi Tarek,

    This is supported from cdnshelp version 1.3, which will be included in releases later this year (for example IC615), under CCR 744409.

    I just tested it, and I can give -hierarchy a colon-separated list of paths, and this works as you'd expect.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.
