My .chm file compiles more

• 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.

  Welcome to our community

  Try file > project settings.

  And if that fails, try the pod project configuration, windows and change the caption of the window.

• 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.

• almost double .chm file size

  Use RoboHelp 7 HTML for some time now without problem or any hardware or software changes. Compile a new .chm every week or so. 38139 Ko Ko 75953 climbed today, without adding more of a document or two, the size of the .chm file. I checked the new pages and there is no difference in database size. I recompiled, made sure that I ticked the box 'to optimize the size of .chm' and tried to rename the XPJ/DPC files and recreate the project. All three train in the same in size 75953 KB .chm file. Any ideas on what I can do to solve my problem?

  Hello

  A time reminds that this has almost doubled the same thing happened to me. The compiler has a knack for adding files in your project directory that are not in your project file. This is seen by some as a feature for you avoid forgetting a file, but for me, it's one of the major annoyances of the help compiler.

  Once, after changing the name of the .chm file he included the previous .chm in the next compilation. It took a while to understand what was going on. I don't really remember what I did, but it might have involved decompile the bloat. chm.

  Good luck

• What version of the Visa Runtime executable files compiled in LabVIEW 7.1 require?

  We have an old executable that was written in LabVIEW 7.1 and uses the serial port communication.  We are licensed with LabVIEW 2010, however our company policy requies a lot of paperwork so he should recompile.

  The executable program has worked well over the years.  The computer on which it is running has to be replaced. Any software included in the CD 'Install' is not enough, and now there is no communication with the serial device.  I guess the problem would be DURATION VISA European Commission.

  Does anyone know which version of the Runtime VISA is required for executable files compiled in LabVIEW 7.1?  Is this something of "Legacy"?

  Thank you in advace for assistance.

• 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:

  

  When I go to assign one (in my case) an existing merger of the project a new . CHM file, I'm presented with this dialog box. However, I do not want the. CHM file can be completely copied in, I want that it reference a. CHM file. It's because I'm working on an aid project that compiles several other aid projects that get changed separately from time to time. This leaves the project compilation obsolete if the. CHM files are simply copied to; they're just old copies.

  Is it possible to have a merged project point to one. File CHM rather than copy it in so that it reflects the external changes to the. CHM file?

  Thank you!

  Here's the vid. My apologies for the length. It's about 10 minutes long.

• In RoboHelp 2015, are there changes with regard to the CHM files?

  I would like to know if there is a significant change for CHM files.

  The only option that I use for output is Microsoft HTML Help to generate CHM files. I can't use other (WebHelp and etc.).

  Well, I use the demo version of HR 2015 but I did not notice a significant change regarding the CHM files.

  The dynamic filter is not applied to it. I am currently using RoboHelp 9, so I ask you to these changes because I'm thinking that if it's worth changing HR 2015, because I use the output HTML, I only generate CHM files.

  I am trying to compare the two versions and I try to note their differences, but if you know some that it would be useful for me.

  Sorry if I make mistakes, because English is not my mother tongue. Thanks in advance!

  Hello, Camila

  Your English is very good! Yes, dynamic content filtering is only available with the latest reactive HTML5. Available for CHM output functions are mainly dictated by Microsoft because the format of HTML (.chm) help is their owner specification.

  RoboHelp has added a few things on top of the base CHM (skins for CHMS, glossary and browse sequences, etc.), but you won't find many features more modern in CHMS because Microsoft has continued to develop a long time ago.

  That said, while the CHM format may not have a lot of bells and whistles that you hope to, the new 2015 RoboHelp has many other advantages that make it easier create and justify an upgrade.

  Thank you

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

  

  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.

  See you soon... Rick

• some text missing in the chm file

  Hello

  I recently converted to RH9, and I use Robohelp HTML. When I compile a chm file, some of the text in headings does not appear in the chm or 'display the selected item '. Here is an example of the WYSIWYG compared to 'display the selected item '. The chm file has the same missing text.

  

  I noticed that most of my subjects are OK, but who is formatted similarly to this topic are not okay - same problem of missing text (and some weird formatting problems)

  Thank you

  Laura

  First make a copy of your project. Then right click in the paragraph and you will probably see an option to delete or remove attributes. If the first case, it is enough to click on it and try again. If this last click that and you will get a dialog box. It may or may not be obvious to those to be deleted, if it is not obvious, take a screenshot and post here.

  As you will have a backup, he has nothing to lose.

• Index in the .chm file is incorrect

  Hello

  I use RoboHelp X 5 with Windows XP SP3. I have an index which is correct in RoboHelp, but not in the .chm file. In RoboHelp, I have great book as a keyword and several secondary keywords. However, in the .chm file, secondary keywords appear under General Ledger Journal instead of accounting. I've attached screenshots of the two at the bottom of this post, and I pasted the appropriate section of the project .hhk file. (.Hhk file is really long, so I wanted to insert all this).

  While train to solve this problem, my colleague changed the key word of the great book general Edger and that fixed the problem, but obviously we cannot keep it this way.

  I tried the following:

  • Compared to this section of the Perfect file to others. I may have missed something, but it seemed OK to me.
    
  • Has started the project, removed the Perfect file and then saved a change on the HR regenerated the Perfect file index.
    
  • Delete the file .cpd.
    
  • Deleted and réentré all the keywords.
    

  When the problem started, the subkeywords ledger appeared under periods of future instead of General Ledger Journal - I'm not sure what I did to change it, but I think it was when I removed and then reinstated the keyword for future periods.

  Unfortunately, none of them worked. I saw another thread to a similar issue where the solution was to create a second index and copy the key words on it, but I do not think that X 5 allows a second index.

  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

• Chm file met poster "HTML help" on the title instead of the name of the window bar

  Chm file met poster "HTML help" on the title instead of the name of the window bar.

  I tried several ways such as:

  1. modify the > project name settings and also set the language to English (United States).

  2. check the name of the title in the .hhp file

  3. use the window while compling.

  4 Robohelp language settings.

  5. also uninstalled and reinstalled robophelp.

  But nothing helps

  Title name appear correctly if the same project is compiled on another machine.

  When the code in the high hydrostatic pressure and the locale on a correspondence of PC, the title OK is displayed. Or the other way around is also worth the title help is displayed in the language specified in the project IF (and only if) the regional settings of the computer matches the language. Otherwise, the "HTML Help" is displayed.

  Hope this helps.

• 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

  RDG

  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.

• Windows Server 2008 and CHM files

  HR 7, HTML

  Accompaniment of the victim has a customer you are trying to view .chm files in Windows Server 2008. They went ahead and tried the registry fix from the 'normal' to view chm on a network files, but that does not solve the issue.

  My understanding is that chm files cannot be seen at all in Windows Server, but thought I would check - is it possible to view chm files in Windows Server 2008?

  Thank you

  -Jeff

  Jeff,

  I don't think that something has changed in Windows 2008 and .chm files are certainly visible in this version of Windows. However, it may be that the customer needs to tinker with the security settings in Internet Explorer to make the visible distance .chm files. See this article for more details:

  http://weblog.helpware.NET/?p=50

  To ensure that correct registry changes are made, the customer could try making them with free HHReg utility. It is available here:

• Links between .chm files

  I knew I'd be back with a situation. When last I posted, there is while testing the hlp to chm conversion, about three months I had multiple .chms talk to each other. It was then, this is now. After transfer to new versions of help files and doing CHMS for real, I can't get links from one file to the other to work. (The merged TOC and index, however, excellent work.) I repeated the steps I did the first time and discussed again the many posts here on the subject of external links. Here's what I did:

  • Merges the files into the project main table of contents, and then deleted the Scriptures of fusion and merges again just to see if it would help
  • Compiling all CHMS in the SSL folder for the main project
  • Verified that all CHMS are in baggage files
  • Check that the files section merged into the main project of hhp lists only file chm with no path names
  • Update of the main project in MS Help Workshop after merge (I read that you have to do somewhere in the notes from Adobe)
  • None of the chm files have special characters or underscores in their names
  • Deleted and regenerated the master of the project files FPC and hhp
  • Sub-CHMS in the master links seem to be coded correctly with no specific location (example: winexp.chm::/Award_Year_g.htm)

  These are large files with a lot of topics, but they are not mechanically complex. I use 7 HTML HR. What I'm missing here?

  Thank you

  Hi, Beth,

  If you don't want to post the URL, you can send me a message through this site private.

  The error message may indicate that you do not have the quite exact link syntax. For example, if your subjects are stored in the subfolders in the target help file, your hyperlinks need account for this. Thus, a typical hyperlink might look like this:

  Click here to see another topic

  To make sure that you specify exactly the track information:

  1. Open the target help file.
  2. Display the required topic.
  3. Right-click and then on the shortcut menu, select Properties.

  In the property sheet that results, you can copy the path out of the address field information and adjust if necessary.
