Re: eWriter Window Title and Menu

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...

Re: Version control with SVN - Many projects checked out together - No version control available

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...

Re: Help+Manual 8.5 - Snagit and eWriter 3 for MacOS

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.

Re: Help+Manual 8.5 - Snagit and eWriter 3 for MacOS

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...

Re: Help+Manual 8.5 - Snagit and eWriter 3 for MacOS

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 ...

Re: File Properties of an .exe Help file

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...

Re: File Properties of an .exe Help file

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

Re: File Properties of an .exe Help file

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...

Re: pdf viewer

I came across the "Sumatra PDF Reader" years ago, because a user had encountered a problem with that viewer with one of the PDFs created with Help+Manual. Since then, I have a version of that program in my toolbox folder. It's a 6 MB light-weight no-frills self-contained executable that ju...

Re: Screenshot/picture/image size

It causes images to appear at their native dot-for-dot size on all browsers on all computers, regardless of their Windows DPI settings or monitor size You have to go to great lengths to modify the image size at runtime in a web browser. For a regular web browser, there is simply no CSS setting that...

Re: Screenshot/picture/image size

I need to find a way to work around this. I would actually want to see the real physical pixel size in Help+Manual as Martin writes. Insert the image at its physical size (do not scale it with the mouse) and set the topic editor zoom to 67% . That's about the "real" size, because your Win...

Re: Screenshot/picture/image size

Hi Maarit, The answer is simple: MS Paint is wrong. Well, not exactly wrong, but it shows the picture at its original size. Let's assume that your bitmap is 100 x 100 pixels. MS Paint will display it at 100 x 100 screen pixels (that is: your display has physical dots and it maps 1 pixel of the bitma...
