Help & Manual Forums

Hi Tim, having managed to lose the parser function from my help project, I came back to this topic to restore the functionality. Having restored it to the default topic, I found I had a load of compilation errors, caused the the slash in the closing IF_CHM tag being the wrong way round. </script><\I...

Tim,
I am using Help and Manual version 5.5.0 build 1273 at the moment.
Are there any plans to integrate with Team Foundation Server in the future as this would be our migration path from Visual Source Safe?

Hi,
I am also experiencing the issue with the ToC not being refreshed when "refresh project" is pressed. It is quite awkward and has required me manually reapply changes which have been lost when users have checked in updates which didn't include other users changes.

Hi Tim,
only one user is making changes to the ToC, but the other users cannot pick up the changes unless they check out the ToC. I would have expected doing a Refresh Project to update the local ToC if it is not checked out by the user.

Hi, we have three users updating our help project which is linked to Microsoft Visual Source Safe and we have set the project to use manual check in/out. We have found that when one user updates the table of contents and checks in the changes, this doesn't refresh on the other users projects until t...

Hi Tim, unfortunately, the topic names are a legacy from the naming conventions we used when our help was generated using Robohelp and there are far too many to change in the short term. We are using different naming conventions for new topics. I have created a zip of the project, but it is 40Mb and...

Hi, I have been combining a number of topics within my help project which were used as alternative topics for different builds (this was necessary to provide context links to the topics). Having merged the topic text, I then changed the include in builds property to All builds. This appeared to be c...

Hi, I'm adding new topic files to my help project which I recently created from a Robohelp .chm. When I create new topic files, the filename is truncated to 30 characters although the dialogue allow entry of many more. This limit seems slightly odd as many of my imported topic have much longer names...

I have converted a .chm into a help and manual project and found after conversion that a series of .gif files in one topic were showing the wrong image. Reselecting the correct file using the insert->Image dialogue (using the thumbnail view to ensure I was selecting the correct file) didn't help, th...

Hi Tim, I've been trying out the Beta of 5.0.3 and it seems to work much better for source control use but I have come across a few issues: When using automatic check-in/check-out files updated by another user are checked-out and the updated version is copied to the local project but H & M won't...

Thanks Tim, I shall try this version as soon as I get time.

Regards, Richard

Thanks Tim.

Hi Tim,
do you have a release date for version 5.3 yet? Will there be an evaluation version available at the same time?

Regards,
Richard

Thanks for the quick response Tim. Are any of the changes in this area in the current beta release of version 5.3?

Richard

Hi Tim,
Is there likely to be any update on this issue in the near future?
