Re: [Solved]Crash/hang-up on second monitor

Hi,
Thanks for fixing the problem.
I'll keep the option of splitting the file in mind if I run into issues again.

Re: Crash/hang-up on second monitor

Hi Tim, The file where I notice it most is ca. 25MB with ~100 slides. Testing with a new xplain seemed ok. I use xplains to add numbering/arrows etc so that I only have to swap out the screenshots for different languages. 32GB RAM, 12GB GPU. Total memory usage stays around 35%. GPU is single-figure....

[Solved]Crash/hang-up on second monitor

Hi, latest HelpXplain version on Windows 10, but also in 1.7 (didn't try back any further). My laptop (primary monitor) is connected to a 4K monitor at a different resolution. Moving the application between screens is a bit rocky, but ignorable. When I run HelpXplain on the primary monitor, all seem...

Re: Popup question

Hi Tim,
Thanks again.
I don't know where you're going with TL/DR.
The pop-ups are sometimes multiline (perhaps with a little table, ...) so the # solution won't always work.

Popup question

Output format is CHM in English, German, and some more. I'd like to add pop-ups to an image for mouse-over/click and also list them beneath the image (e.g., for printing, those who cannot click). I created the pop-up class topics in Project A (which also contains other stuff). I set the project sear...

Re: Problem on saving -- now cannot open project

Hi Tim,
HnM 8.4.1 Build 5881, project in git.
The project has only recently been changed to git and I did not have this sort of problem before.
Hopefully something was just having a bad day and has got over it now :-).

Re: Problem on saving -- now cannot open project

Hi Tim,
The projects are all on a local drive.
I've got a similar problem in another project which did not raise an error on saving but corrupted the hxmp file.
I don't have the error message any more. Does it get cached anywhere?

Problem on saving -- now cannot open project

HnM 8.4.1 Build 5881, project in git I was editing a project this morning with some 1900 (small) topics. I added some new topics, renamed the files in the Project Explorer, and tried to save the changes. I received an Access Violation and the option to restart HnM. Now when I try to open the project...

Re: eWriter -- call topic

Hi Tim,
Is it better to install the 32 bit version and copy it across, or can I use the 64 bit version I've already installed?

Re: eWriter -- call topic

I'm afraid I'm on the highest H&M version I can be on for the moment. With "index", I actually meant TOC. I had downloaded and installed the eViewer.exe from the link you posted so I'd like to think it replaced the previous version and the path is ok -- but I'll check that again. I dug...

Re: eWriter -- call topic

Hi Tim, Thanks for the fast reply. I'd copied those calls according to the H&M help. I'm on 8.4.1 Build 5881. I've now installed the newer Premium Pack and the eViewer 3.1. And republished with a v3 skin. The call with ...loadpage... brings up the topic without the index. I'll need to experiment...

eWriter -- call topic

Hi, I've published a project with the Premium Pack 4.3.0\V3 EWriter Skins\Minimalist_Blue_eWriter.hmskin When I try to call a topic via <path>eViewer.exe "<path>my_ebook.ewriter" "index.html?this_page.html", I only ever get the Top page. I can call the topic directly <path>eViewe...

Re: Synchronisation speed

Hi Tim,
We use Azure DevOps and manually check-in changes with Visual Studio.
There is only one local version in the local folder synched with DevOps.
