Actually there are three doc locations in my /Cin:

    ./doc
    ./bin/doc
    ./AppDir/usr/bin/doc

and as the first doc folder is empty, I have a feeling I myself by 
accident cleaned up wrong doc folder.
But what do we preserve backup for 😉

Actually I found the missing file in my backup

    /Cin # ls /Cin/bin_use_system_ffmpeg-702/doc/ContextManual.pl
    /Cin/bin_use_system_ffmpeg-702/doc/ContextManual.pl


Then I cleaned up the first two doc folders above and copied all doc 
files from the backup and added the Cinelerra-GG_Manual. So in worst 
case there might be some extra doc files now :)
Tested that Help files worked in CinGG, re-built the AppImage and tested 
successful.

    ~/Applications> du -sh Cin*
    171M CinGG-20241031-x86_64.AppImage
    181M CinGG-20241120-x86_64.AppImage


Phyllis, look up for a new file-link for the complete AppImage in a few 
minutes 😉
