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...

Re: <%PARENTTOPICTITLE%>

Check with the <IF_TOPIC_BREADCRUMBS> condition:

Code: Select all

<p>
<IFNOT_TOPIC_BREADCRUMBS>No topics above this level</IFNOT_TOPIC_BREADCRUMBS>
<IF_TOPIC_BREADCRUMBS><%TOPIC_BREADCRUMBS%>&nbsp;&gt;</IF_TOPIC_BREADCRUMBS>

Re: Batch-Export not scrollable

I see. Scrolling the window with the scrollbar does work, but the window does not respond to the mouse wheel. Ok, we'll look after that.

Re: Batch-Export not scrollable

Hello Johanna,

It's not clear to me what the problem is. You say the window is not scrollable while your screenshot shows that the window has a scrollbar. Does the scrollbar not work for you? Please explain.

Re: Object Script Delay

Hi Terry, I apologize - there is no last parameter "delay" in this function, this is obviously a mistake in the online help. However, you can specify a delay with the "delay" attribute: xplain.animateTo("#shape2", 5, {x:100, y:200, delay:10}) HelpXplain licenses the jav...

Re: PDF (Peer) Review

Thank you for the suggestion! We see what we can do about this. Automatic import of PDF comments might be tricky, but manual copy/paste could work. We'd probably have to extend the comment functionality in H&M a little bit to allow chained comments.

Re: Figure title using <%TOPICTITLE%> not in ToF/ToT

Problem fixed with build 5954:
https://www.helpandmanual.com/download/ ... p-v844.exe

If the text line following a figure label object contained a topic-specific variable, this variable was not replaced with the current variable in the table-of-figures (global variables worked).

Re: Figure title using <%TOPICTITLE%> not in ToF/ToT

Are you using the image caption for the TOF entry or a separate figure heading below the image?

Re: Synchronisation speed

Hi John, Three hours is really strange, but it's hard to say what exactly causes this. I'd also recommend to try the Translation Assistant Beta, because the sync function there is very transparent. The TA could actually be even slower than the sync in H&M, because it performs a lot of visual upd...

Re: <%PARENTTOPICTITLE%>

There are already 2 variables for that.

<%TOPIC_TITLE_PATH%> delivers the topic title including their parent(s) - this is plain text
<%TOPIC_BREADCRUMBS%> - this is the same HTML-encoded, including links to the parent topics

Re: CHM help runs OK from explorer, freezes when opening subwindows when launched from delphi

I do have some "fsStayOnTop" windows If a stay-on-top window was the calling window and the help call included the handle of this window, I would certainly look into that as well. But if it is not the calling window or the window handle of the help call is "0" (which would yield...

Re: CHM help runs OK from explorer, freezes when opening subwindows when launched from delphi

Please try my suggestion and change the help call from:

Code: Select all

HtmlHelp(mainwnd.handle, pchar(application.Helpfile), HH_HELP_CONTEXT, helpContext);
to

Code: Select all

HtmlHelp(0, pchar(application.Helpfile), HH_HELP_CONTEXT, helpContext);
It is likely that the window handle causes the problem.
