Off-line help

[DigPeter]

Is there an off-line help?  The other day I was without internet connection and wanted some help.

1. There is an off-line version of the help in form of the help system app.
It an be downloaded from the download section at photools.com: https://www.photools.com/download/ (see the link there) or directly from here: https://www.photools.com/imatch-help-app/

2. This app is discontinued and will not receive any updates anymore.
I've created it a year ago when the help system went online. But the app has been downloaded about once every 3 months and its just not worth the effort and cost. Nobody is using it.

Note that the IMatch help system is HTML, which means you can easily save entire sections as HTML pages locally or save them to a PDF file (most browsers have that built-in now).

Thanks - an outdated version is better than none, at least till your next upgrade.

The help system is up-to-date with the help system version current at the time the last IMatch version was released.
Later updates to the web help are not reflected in the help system app. I no longer maintain it, its search index is inferior compared to the current on-line version etc.

Yes - thanks.  I would only wish to use the off-line version, if I have no internet connection.

I'm probably one of the few others who'd like to have that, because when I'm travelling, I'm often offline. But I understand that it's probably not worth the time for Mario to maintain it for maybe a dozen users.
It would be nice to have a simple way to competely download a functional copy of the online help (noit just parts of it, because you never know in advance what part you will need!).

I haven't tried any of these https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-do-i-download-an-entire-website-for-offline-reading/ but sounds like one of them (or another alternative) could do the job.
