A CHM file is suitable for my project?

Hello

I was invited to document our API codes in a file of aid to be provided to clients. Is a file CHM the best way forward?

Also, in the CHM file pages can be bookmarked? It is one of the requirements, and as far as I can see, they can't be.

If this isn't the case, CHM, I would be recognizing all of the recommendations for the output that I can generate with RoboHelp8.

Related issue: in a CHM file I generated only, the content of the topic is not displayed. I get pages with the error message: the address is not valid. Yet once again, would like to understand why this happens.

Thank you very much

CHM files are designed to be installed locally on each PC, something more that probably explaining your related question, usually on an application for users. As they are installed locally, this means the update is more difficult. Output on the Web (e.g., WebHelp) is stored on an intranet site, server, or web and therefore can be more easily updated. Looks like you may be better to go the route of WebHelp, but without knowing more detail that the decision is best left in your yard.

Regarding the "bookmarks", do you mean the possibility for a user store a page of help they can refer again at a later date? If so, this can be achieved within a CHM file. In the properties of the window inside your project, there is a section "normal tabs and Windows." Here is a favorite option which adds a tab to the left hand when checked three components of CHM adding. a bookmark in this way is a bit more complicated than in a browser, but it does not work. It also has disadvantages which the data behind these favorites are stored in a HH. DAT file. If this is deleted, the user loses his favorites as well as any other information.

Finally as I suggested earlier, the CHM files are better executed on a local drive. The reason is that microscope has released an update to security making next useless, unless there are a few years. You will find more details on this update here.

  • executable and help .chm file

    I am using a .chm help file to provide context-sensitive help for some VI and control in my application running. I put the path of the .chm file in the path of the help of dialog of the VI documentation and of certain typedefs of control as well as the tag help. Everything works correctly when you run in Labview but when I create an executable file and run it, I get inconsistent results. Some controls to access the help file (question mark in the context help window is blue) while others do not (question mark is grayed out).

    How is access to a .chm help file is incompatible in the executable it all works perfectly in operation?

    My help .chm file is loaded in my project. I'm using Labview 2011 64 bits.

    I rebuilt the application LabVIEW 2013 and did some tests to see if I can recreate the problem.  I can't.  I see the problem only in the executable file that you sent me.  When you build an executable file, however, and want to deploy to the target, you will want to use paths stripped in context help.  The method that I used to do this is as follows:

    To create a static reference of VI and use a relative path to set the path to each control.  When I use this method and then include the help files in my executable, I can change the path to the file for the Type Defs programmatically.  This seems to be a better way of defining the type defs, so that the path will be relative whenever respective executable file and its data directory are located.

  • I can possibly first to work for this project?

    Hello. I'm working on a photography project of scan elapsed time. I scan flowers a few times an hour and then make videos of their drying out. I am currently a movie of this. The thing is, the scans can be thousands of pixels high/wide. The problem is when I do the sequences with 20 or more of these videos (reduced to around 10% in first) from all. He becomes almost unusable on my old Macbook Pro. Do the most complex parts of it is also very annoying on a new iMac. Because I work with so many files, I tried on After Effects. Its characteristic of transmission by proxy excited me, but it soon became clear that the EA is intended mainly for shorter projects and not for the clips which can get 40 GB + size. For example, in trying to make tiny proxy of clips last night, four only managed. It seems that the rendering is centered on your available RAM, and when it runs out (a few seconds in the first clip) rendering becomes very slow. This could work for ads or something, but not for this project. Maybe I'm not using it correctly however.

    So I don't know what to do. I tried proxy for first workaround, but which seems to involve working with clips at the resolution you made the power of attorney to, unlike the AE, where you can work with a now-more-blurred version of your main file. I tried to do a little proxy manually, then it upscaling in Quicktime 7 Pro, but that seems to be too slow for first, leading me to think that multiplying a clip in my sequence of test of 20 or more would be very different.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to change a project like this with an interface user reactivates reasonably? I do not if I have to spend hours to proxies, or making the final copy thereafter, I just want to change without waiting for minutes when I click on a part of the 20 layer of film. I understand that this is probably an abnormal way of using first, because normally we use only a few layers at a time.

    Another idea I had was to make the parts of the film with 20 + layers in AE and import them into first to work around the development of EI over short distances. But it's not work around the problem that its function of transmission by proxy and the renderer in general seems to be suitable for shorter projects. If you are confused, it's okay, I can't develop and provide photos.

    Here are some unique videos of the project:

    Thank you!

    If you want 20 layers of flowers as in a PIP, you must use Photoshop to match your sequence settings (1920 X 1080, or even 640 X 480). If you just want to make timelapse flowers die you should only need to use a single layer. First can do what you want with ease, so do you a little work in Photoshop first. There is no need to have a 20 megapixel images 1920 X 1080 is only about 2 million pixels. You use a 3 megapixel image will be leave as you zoom and pan and scan room.

  • How to reference a. CHM file rather than copy them into a merged project?

    Hello! I'm new posting. Projects merged CHM files. You may recognize this picture:

  • Compiled CHM file does not reflect the name of the new project

    I have read many responses of experts to positions and have found them extremely useful is. However, I have not seen one that solves my problem.

    I have the HTML HR RH8 Version. I renamed a project through 1) file - rename project and 2) Single Source Layouts - main Layout - Properties - output folder and file name.

    Two problems are: 1) the name of the project file still reflects the old name of project and 2) the CHM file still reflects the old name of the project.

    Therefore, the output help the user displays a still the former name of the project in the title bar.

    Generated files like the RoboHelpHTML project file have been changed for the new name of the project, just like RENAME the PROJECTS using says it should. However, the CHM file does not reflect the new name of the project as it says it should.

    (1) can I change the name of the folder created when I compiled the help by exact name file?

    (2) can I change the FILE name in the window SELECT OUTPUT FOLDER AND FILE name?

    (3) I can / should I rename the names of table of contents and Index of the old project name for the new name of the project? (Help says changing the project name does not change these file names and he didn't.)

    None of these measures will correct the problem? I appreciate any help you can give.

  • .chm file is too large for application

    I'm sorry.  This isn't your typical question of RoboHelp.

    I have a very big RoboHelp project with about 300 topics and a lot, a lot of screen captures. Our developer found that should the customer 3 minutes and 17 seconds to download the application with the file for assistance under construction.  For him, this seems like an excessive amount of time for the client to have to wait.

    Someone said I could zip the .chm file, but I don't know how it works.  The development team didn't even unpack when they build?  And someone suggested to do a download of the application and a separate for the help file.  If you do this, the help always file works within the app?  I have also considered removing the screen capture, that greatly reduces the size of the file.

    Does anyone know other solutions to this problem?

    Personally, I doubt zipping the CHM would make much difference if you have the option "Optimize the CHM file size" selected in your SSL, the file is already compressed. You have also highlighted a potential problem to which user a control where the CHM is unzipped to. of course, it should be desired for the application to find.

    If your developer think three minutes is really too long to download the app (and I would help with the application of packaging is the best way to go); Let's look at alternatives. Could host you online help? It should, however, change application. You can remove some of the images to the screen, personally I was never a big fan of them in the help files unless they add real value.

    Out of curiosity, how many of the 3 minutes 17 seconds is to help him? What is the size of the CHM file?

  • Can Adobe Premiere and hearing of "Royalty Free" music files are used for projects 'commercial '?

    I apologize for not being able to find the answer on my own, but can anyone please answer this: can Adobe Premiere and hearing of "Royalty Free" music files are used for projects 'commercial '?

    Wikipedia:fee-free, or RF, means the right to use the material under copyright or intellectual property without having to pay royalties or license for each use or by the volume of sales, or some time to use or sell."

    You 'Royalty Free' rights free of charge can be granted or pay for it.  Music sites "Royalty Free" often have several awards.  Individual use will be much cheaper than the use in business.

    It is a premier forum, not a Premier Pro forum elements or hearing.  But, if Adobe labels tracks provided with these programs and call them 'Royalty Free' and does not list the restrictions, you can use it for what you want.

    Another approach is called "Creative Commons".  Basically, you can benefit from creative use of the work if you provide proper credit.  It helps to spread and the reputation of the artist.   Creative Commons "licenses" have several versions and can also be confusing.

    What version of Premiere Elements you are using and on what computer operating system is running?

    You cannot import a project file (.prel) in another.

    For now, generalize choice

    a. export your Timeline (your intro) content to a file saved on the hard drive of the computer. And then import that

    file in new projects by using the new project add Media/files and folders. See publish + Share/computer/and the other

    choices here to generate this file intro for later use in other projects.

    b. you can set up what is called a dummy projects - this is a project with nothing other than the intro file. And, at all times

    you want to use the intro, you open one of these saved dummy projects and add your media sources.

    A lot of things to discuss. Please fill in some details more and then we can refine the answer for your particular situation.

    Thank you.

  • Included in unused files. CHM file

    Hello

    Please do someone can shine some light on why when I run using HTML Assistant ssl for a table of specific contents, every single image and the subject of my project file are included?

    Bottom line, it's that I need only some topics of my project file to build the help a.chm file which should be about 7 MB on the disk, but fate to 30 MB. I used a tool for compiling (FAR) to * which continues and it appears as all the images and other subjects of the project that is not necessary for the. Chm file are included. It's a real embarrassment, because it sure. Chm must be less than 10 MB.

    Thanks a lot in advance

    Greg

    It has always been the case that with WebHelp and CHMS that all topics are included in a version unless excluded by using a construction tag.

    In more recent versions, there is an option to exclude topics not referenced. If you select it will exclude any subject which is not in the table of contents or Index and does not all links of the other headings. The only way that subjects would find if this option was checked not to would be by a search.

    In your case the solution the cleaner would probably create a construction tag Exclude and then apply an expression of construction only includes topics not exclude tag.

    That is covered in the help online. Come if you need assistance.

  • How to add the 'search' tab in the .chm file

    Search_option.jpg

    Hi all

    All of these days, I was using HR - 5 to create the .chm file. Today, I went to HR - 9. The chm file had the option to search automatically activated in HR - 5. But in RH - 9, glossary option only is available and I am not able to add the adjacent "Search" tab at the tab Index. Please refer to the screenshot for more details.

    Please help me solve this problem that the customer expect tab "Search" for sure.

    Kind regards

    Lata

    Hi Lata

    What show you in your image is a mismatch. The tab says glossary, but the content of the show search tab.

    I think that in this case I suggest you try to define a new window with the attributes you need. Then configure the default window for the page layout that you are using.

    You define the window by:

    1. ensure that Microsoft HTML Help is the default layout.

    2. click on display > pods > project implemented and you should see the windows there.

    This link does not work for me when I paste it into the address bar of my Firefox browser. It does not work in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox. In Firefox, it opens the PDF file generically.

    I tested in a CHM and he did try and link, but it presents a black page. Looks like the page, but it is blackened.

    CHM files are based on elements of Internet Explorer to display their content. So maybe, it's something specific to a certain version of Internet Explorer, but also a certain version of Acrobat Reader.
