Hi!
It's not clear to us how that looks like. Can you post a screenshot of HMTA when both projects are opened side by side?

I vaguely remember this as an old issue with merged CHM files. Not sure if it can be solved at all. When you open a context sensitive topic in a CHM file, the TOC is internally synced by the viewer. This sync method is pretty basic: it iterates the TOC top-down and highlights the first TOC entry tha...

That's really strange. We've never had a crash like this in all the years since 7.5.1. And that version is no longer maintained. What we can do is: you install version 9 and we give you a free time-limited test license to see if the situation changes with v9. Regarding compatibility: using v9 for co...

Could you please try to replace the ECHMSYN.DLL in the application folder with this version:

Does that make a difference for command line compilation?

The file "ECHMSYN.DLL" is the syntax highlighter in Help+Manual. Start H&M manually under the same user account you are running it in batch mode. Open a project and open the configuration dialog for the syntax highlighter (same row as the styles combo). Reset the configuration of the s...

Hello Marc, You are correct, the "Home" command has been deprecated and the old home button removed from the toolbar. We've got to fix this in the configuration section of Help+Manual. Window Title The window title displays the (long) title of the help file/ebook. It does not change when y...

We are working on this. It currently does not work, because H&M looks for the hidden ".svn" folder in the project folder [only]. If that isn't present, it considers the project to be not under SVN control. The solution will most probably be to introduce a setting how many levels of par...

Where is the [Like] button?

No. That's the naked screenshot without annotations, remarks, callouts and effects. If your screenshot is that simple, use PNG to save it, not the Snagit format.

That's bad news :cry: I confirm that the latest version of Snagit (22.1.1.21427 from August 4) reduces the size of the internal "thumbnail.png" to a maximum width of 1024 pixel. An older version of Snagit did not do that. My captures from 2022-05-17 contain full-size preview images. Howeve...

That's unknown here. The SnagIt examples that I saw had different dimensions :shock: A .snagX file is simply a ZIP archive. Please rename the file to ".zip" and open it in Windows Explorer. Inside, you should find a thumbnail.png . Thumbnail seems to be an euphemism, because the thumbnail ...

You are correct, v2.5 is a small bug and very misleading. We've updated the download with the correct version number for the 64 bit executable. I am not sure what intended for "Windows 32-bit" means in this context. Never seen such a message. The 64 bit eviewer.exe is a 64 bit executable t...

I haven't tried these utilities and we are not affiliated with any of them.
But from the description, they should do the trick:

Given that our Development Team want to use a common file property for all components when using their Version Control, do you have a suggestion for how we can update the File Version field when the file is updated? The version number is a resource string in the executable. You can modify this with...

Hello Bjoern,

This is a bug. We will address the problem with version 8.5.
