Thanks for all the details, Susan! It indeed begins to smell like a bug, but I can't reproduce and, given the code, I don't understand..
For the moment, here's what I think (well.. "hope"): this stange "\Users{username}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.ini" has been created at some point, for some (beta phase or user operation) reasons. It's not used anymore but still there. The real current one is indeed the one specified in the S&M.ini file: "D:\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.ini"
Susan, in order to verify, can you answer these Qs:
- does "D:\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.ini" also exist on your setup ? note: this was the -previous/beta- default location.
- when you enter some help, say "blabla" for a random action, where is it saved? In "D:\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.ini" (would mean "not a bug", just delete the other file)? Or "\Users{username}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.ini" (would confirm that issue as "a bug")
- in the latter case: uninstalling the SWS Extension won't impact the location of the action help INI file: this path is saved in S&M.ini, you would need to clean that file too:
- Remove those 2 lines: [ACTION_HELP] PATH=D:\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.ini (not used anymore, one of the little things that changed in the beta phase)
- after [NOTES_HELP_VIEW], remove this line: ACTION_HELP_FILE=D:\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.ini
=> re-start REAPER, enter a random action help where is it saved ? (it should be S&M_Action_help_en.ini, in REAPER's default resource directory, with other ini files).

I just noticed that my default action_help .ini file is named differently and stored in a different location from what it says on your site:
Quote: S&M_Action_help_en.ini (in REAPER's default resource directory, with other ini files).
Mine's \Users{username}\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.ini
Maybe big whoop, but shouldn't it be in \Roaming rather than \Local? That's where all my other REAPER .ini files are, and what my resource path points to.
Thanks again-
-Susan
Edit: It just occurred to me that maybe it was written there during one of my beta installations, in which case I can just delete it and a new one will be created in the right place(?). I'll try that.
Edit #2: Nope, I deleted it & nothing saved, so I reinstalled the exts and it was put in the same \Local\Virtual Store folder, still as "Action_help_en.ini". (Yes, I know we can define our own. )

No, the path in that file is "D:\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\".
Code: [ACTION_HELP] PATH=D:\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.ini [NOTES_HELP_VIEW] ACTION_HELP_FILE=D:\Program Files\REAPER\Plugins\Action_help_en.iniMy Action_help_en.ini file is actually in "D:\Users\SMG\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Progr am Files\REAPER\Plugins", even after a reinstall.
That's the only such file on my whole system, so it's not a question of pointing to a duplicate or anything.
