Pull down menu - Relink Topics, when XML-Filename changed

Unread post by es_david »

Hi,

would it be possible to adjust the number off shown entries in the pull-down menu to a reasonable number?

Showing 8 entries, while having a lot more to show (scroll), is a little unhandy :D

We'll look into this, but that list is something that you should only see if something goes wrong. It should never appear on a regular basis. If it does you may be manually changing the names of XML filenames. That is a bad idea, because it doesn't change the references to the file within the project. You can change filenames with full automatic updates of all references in the Topic Options tab on the left of the editor window. The Topic ID there is the XML filename and it will be changed when you change the Topic ID. At the same time, all the references to the filename/ID within the project will also be updated, so that you will not get errors that need to be corrected manually.
