Is it possible to install the help files for use with the AppImage? The main items in the help menu work but if I try to use the What's This? button I get this error message
FreeCAD help files not found (/tmp/.mount_FreeCA6Sx6qt/usr/lib/freecad-daily/././/share/doc/freecad-daily-doc/freecad.qhc). You might need to install the FreeCAD documentation package.
I have downloaded FreeCAD_doc_0.18.7z, extracted and put the doc directory in the same directory as the AppImage. Do I need to do something else or is it just not possible on the AppImage?

There was shortly a discussion about this here: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=29139micksulley wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 7:28 pm Is it possible to install the help files for use with the AppImage?
The discussed way is documented here: Installing_Helpfile
So we can see now, if this is working.
The help system needs some more love, not all "What's This?" do work.
