Thanks, that worked perfectly.

I'm using the V5 Cool Max skin for a website. I've managed to turn all of the text into Ukrainian except for the full text search textbox in the picture. How can I turn "Search" into the Ukrainian version?

Found a workaround for this Cyrillic character problem. Using my previous example, I used Excel to create the XML. Using the EncodeURL() function, Excel returns the correct text. As a result, "pdf/9K38 Игла.pdf" becomes "/pdf/9K38%20%D0%98%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0.pdf". Doesn't look pre...

I have created a page in a small project that contains links to PDF files. The PDF file names are in Russian, and the page itself is a mixture of Russian and English. Everything appears normal both on the editing page and in the XML. However when I publish, the Russian characters in the link turn to...

Tim,
Thanks for the fast reply. The "memory" would be most useful. As for the snippet, thank you for the suggestion. It didn't even occur to me to try it that way.

Is there a way to set default values for the "Insert HelpXplain" dialog that appears when you put one into a hmxp project page ? For instance, I would like to set the Display Options -> Variable Size Width value to 80% instead of 50%, and the Add Play Button set to unchecked.

I've been evaluating HelpXplain for use on my site. A couple of my customers took a look at a small test site I set up at https://sandbox.bulletpicker.com. They had 2 questions: -- How can we print the topic without the large red "Play" button in the middle of the image? (see attached exam...

I also second (third?) this. Having a capability like this would open up some interesting possibilities for my project, particularly in GIS and collaboration.

Tim, OK, I can do the file link thing. Actually I'll have to go thru each link and do a IF->THEN->ELSE to each one, so I can use the same pages on the website too. I have done this before when I was trying out various .chm things. Still prefer the Webhelp without a Server though. Meanwhile, I have s...

Hi Tim, In your eWriter settings, have you activated the option "Open external links in default browser"? That's crucial to getting good performance. Also, what are you linking to, files or web pages? And if files, what kind of files and where are they located relative to the eWriter file?...

Good morning, I am one of the users who would prefer to stay with WebHelp without a Server. My one and only project has grown substantially over the last 2 years. It has approximately 3100 images (4kb to 8mb each), 4500 topics, and an estimated 9000 links (mostly to open a PDF file to a specific pag...

What you can do right now is to clean up the list of image search folders. Remove those folders from the search list that are not used in this project. If you still have plenty of generic "clipxxxx" images in your search folder, try to remove unused images: the full project report also re...

Tim, I think I have figured it out. I opened another very small project and tried pasting a pic. The dialog came up immediately. Next, I removed all but a handful of the images for the project I'm having trouble with. When I hit the convert button, the Save As dialog came up almost immediately. As m...

Hi Tim, I have no images to convert. Typically I create a page, add text and links, and then paste an image from a PDF. H&M asks me to convert and I do so. The project is stored on an Unraid server. I also thought this might affect speed so I moved it to a local hard drive. There was no change. ...

Hi everyone, I recently updated H&M to 7.3.6 build 4521. Since then, I've had an issue with converting embedded pics. Before the update, the conversion would normally take 2-3 seconds before a File Save dialog appeared. Now, it takes approximately 135-150 seconds for the dialog to appear. There ...
