“My crystal ball sees a future version of Cubase where there’s no pdf documentation available at all.”
I hope your crystal ball breaks forever. This change is so unbelievably inconvenient and just reeks of developers who don’t actually use their own program or are not musicians/composers and don’t have any concept of the workflow of the average Cubase user. I’ve used Cubase for a decade now and f1 has always opened up the manual nice and easy when I have a specific problem or question to address. I shouldn’t have to dig around on my desktop to open a pdf externally or god forbid be linked to a useless website when my internet may or may not even be working.
