BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3
BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3
I installed Mac version 8.0.3 over a prior installation of 8.0.1. When choosing Vensim Manuals from the Help directory, I get the message "Help file /Users/Shared/Vensim/Help/HTML/index.html is missing."
I see help files from version 7.3 in the Help directory. It seems the 8.0 help files are now in a new Help/HTML directory, but it is only accessible to the root user.

Re: BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3
I've just uploaded build 8.0.4 which hopefully fixes this (my tests were successful).

Re: BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3
Confirming this is fixed in Mac Vensim DSS 8.0.4.
On Mac, the help contents open fully expanded. The book icons do not open and close sections with a double-click. This is the way the docs work at https://www.vensim.com/documentation/.

Re: BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3
This is not what I'm seeing on Safari, Firefox and Chrome. All open with the books closed, and a double click expands them.

Re: BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3
I am using the latest Mac Firefox Quantum 69.0.1 64-bit going to this URL:
file:///Users/Shared/Vensim/Help/HTML/index.html
I get the following errors in the console:
SecurityError: Permission denied to access property "hmNavigationFrame" on cross-origin object hmcontent.htm:38
<anonymous> file:///Users/Shared/Vensim/Help/HTML/hmcontent.htm:38
SecurityError: Permission denied to access property "hmNavigationFrame" on cross-origin object helpman_topicinit.js:19
HMSyncTOC file:///Users/Shared/Vensim/Help/HTML/helpman_topicinit.js:19
<anonymous> file:///Users/Shared/Vensim/Help/HTML/vensim_help.htm:15
Using file:// URLs can cause cross-browser security exceptions. The checks have been tightened in all browsers lately. I changed my default browser to Chrome 77.0 64-bit and saw the same problem with similar error messages in the console. I'm using macOS Mojave 10.14.6.

I'm also running Chrome version 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Mojave 10.14.6, plus 69.0.1 (64-bit) Firefox. I'm not seeing any of these problems.

Re: BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3
I'll see if we can get a different skin from the Help system vendor.

Re: BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3
This is fixed in Vensim DSS 8.0.6 for Mac. Not only that, the new skin looks much nicer!
Re: BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3
Great! We also fixed Help system file links on the Windows side.
