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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Check with the <IF_TOPIC_BREADCRUMBS> condition:

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.

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.

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...

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.

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).

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

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...

Hello Michal, Can you send me the XML file that you use as skin? Just email to alexander.halser (at) ec-software.com Furthermore, I'd like to see the full command line(s) that you execute in parallel processes. In general, this should not be a problem. The skin/overload file is opened strictly read-...
