"How am I supposed to find a Pd object that performs a certain function?" -every new Pd user

"Well for starters, the documentation sucks..." -every former Pd user

But now the documentation sucks slightly less when using the new Helpbrowser2.0 Plugin!

• links to tutorials, manual, and other stuff to guide beginners on the front page
• tutorial and libdir filebrowser obsoletes the ctrl-B HelpBrowser
• folder icon allows to open any directory (or libdir) in external file browser
• Found an object in the search results you've never seen before? Click the info icon to automatically open the readme file from the libdir author!
• search results in alphabetical order, with internal objects listed first
• see a hint in the statusbar for all links
• description/author/license/version automatically listed for every libdir in the libdir format

To use the plugin:

• Click "Browser2.0" in the "Help" menu
• Use the keyboard shortcut
