I discovered that by adding a space to the help book name
CFBundleHelpBookName, such as "VelaStar Monitor Help" causes it to
fail, at least in 10.4.3. Making this " VelaStarMonitor Help" works.
The problem is, it lists it in the Help View library menu as
"VelaStarMonitor Help", and the title of the window is the same.
Yes, I'm changing both info.plist and help file AppleTitle parameters.
This works:
HTML:
<meta name="AppleTitle" content="VelaStarMonitor Help">
info.plist
<key>CFBundleHelpBookName</key>
<string>VelaStarMonitor Help</string>
This doesn't:
HTML:
<meta name="AppleTitle" content="VelaStar Monitor Help">
info.plist
<key>CFBundleHelpBookName</key>
<string>VelaStar Monitor Help</string>
Any ideas? I assume there is a work-around, as I noticed Address
Book does this without the info.plist parameter.
Thanks,

Hmm, one of my apps has a two word name and works correctly with Help.
One difference I have (though you may have just omitted it) is a key
for CFBundleHelpBookFolder. Here's how mine looks:
HTML:
<meta name="AppleTitle" content="Pref Setter Help" />
info.plist:
<key>CFBundleHelpBookFolder</key>
<string>Pref Setter Help</key>
<key>CFBundleHelpBookName</key>
<string>Pref Setter Help</string>
It all works fine on my end, though I'll be honest and say that I
don't remember having tried opening my Help in 10.4.3 (I'm running
10.4.5 currently). I haven't had anybody write in saying that it
wasn't working, either.
Hmm, possibly another difference I have is that my help folder is
localized. I also indexed it with Help Indexer.
