How to speedup the new FCP7 help file and reading it in Safari

I have modified a tip from Eli Krantzberg at the Logic Users Group to work with Final Cut Pro.
[www.logic-users-group.com]

Modified tip from Eli:

Hi All,

Okay I have REALLY GREAT TIP here for everyone, which makes the html manual _ALMOST_ as good as a pdf version.

Type the following script into the Terminal utility:


open "/Applications/Logic Pro.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/logicpro_help/index.html"

open "/Applications/Final Cut Pro.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/finalcutpro_help/index.html"

This will open the Logic Final Cut Pro Help document embedded in the Logic Final Cut Pro application, in Safari. Now from under the Safari file menu choose "save as" and "Format: Web Archive" then save it somewhere. It is saved as a small web archive document. You can now double click this to open the Logic Final Cut Pro Help file contents.

And here's the best part. IT IS REALLY FAST! One thing that has bugged me about the help file is how slow it is getting to the sub contents on each page. This archive file is ten times faster. I love it! This is how I will be using Logic's Final Cut Pros help from now on. And of course, being opened in Safari, it can be resized, and hidden, etc. It's great! And it's fast!

Thanks for that. Let the testing begin and lets take a good look. Sounds like a sort of cool work around. Course, no page numbers but....

Links for the rest of the programs in FCS3:

open "/Applications/Dvd Studio Pro.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/dvdstudiopro_help/index.html"
open "/Applications/Motion.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/motion_help/index.html"
open "/Applications/Soundtrack Pro.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/soundtrackpro_help/index.html"
open "/Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/compressor_help/index.html"
open "/Applications/Color.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/color_help/index.html"

Replace "English" with your language if it's available.
