TS and TexLive: Package help not working

[foreachthing]

On Windows 7 x64, using Tex-Live (2017), the package help does not work (TS 2.12.6).
It always tells me, that there is no documentation available.

This package's documentation is located in: C:\texlive\2017\texmf-dist\doc\latex\base\ifthen.pdf

Scan LaTeX distro for installed packages is checked - not sure if that has anything to do with the docs.

Need more info? Please let me know.

I tried it with TL 2017 and TS 2.12.6 compiled from source in 2018-01 and it worked fine on Linux. Does texdoc ifthen work on your system?

texdoc ?

I found out that right-click on the '\usepackage{ifthen}' and then "open package documentation" works! This is even better - much faster.
So, you could close this, as this workaround works for me even better!

This is even better

Except when you want to read the documentation of a package you don't use in the document you're currently working on...

this should be fixed in 2.12.8
