FPJ files not updating upon topic import

Hi, Gang!
We have a large project file that's been maintained seeming forever. It's probably nearly 8 years old and has been upgraded through four or five versions of RoboHelp. To take advantage of some downtime in between versions, we decided to create a fresh project and import all of the content from the age-old project file into a new, pristine project file. Very briefly, the process was:
Create a new project and define a folder hierarchy in the Project Manager to match the original project. That is, create empty directories in the proper hierarchy for the project.
Import one folder at a time, beginning with the lowest levels of each branch and working through the project.
This worked really well except for about 30 broken links. Further investigation refvealed that the broken links were caused by files that imported but did not show up in the project manager because the fpj files didn't update.
I can manually import the missing files and one-by-one, the broken links disappear. But, because the fpj files aren't updating (verified by watching the fpj file for a given directory as I reimport files), the problem topics and resultant broken links reappear when I reopen the project.
By doing this repeatedly, I can occassionally get one or two fpj files to update, slightly changing the number of topics that are missing. But I can't get rid of them all.
I've tried opening the project using the hhp file instead and letting the project rebuild, but that doesn't help.
I've tried resetting the properties of the project directory to ensure that nothing is read-only, but that doesn't help.
I've tried deleting just th fpj files in the problem directories and reimporting but that doesn't help. It creates a new fpj file but it has no topics listed, no matter how many times I try to import.
So, here I sit with a project that's 90% there, were it not for the missing 10% of files that refuse to "stick" because when I import them the fpj files don't update.
(I'm running version 10 and am wondering if version 11 would maybe solve my problem.)
Any advice?
Thanks!
------later that same day-------
If I manually edit the fpj file for every offending directory and paste into it the content from the well behaved fpj files in the original project, the topics stay after project relaunch and the broken links stay resolved. The next step is to see if newly added topics are retained or if, once again, the fpj files are static and refuse to update.

If you want my opinion, forget about manual importing. I normally just
place all topics I want in the directories of the target project and
then fix the fpj files. Much faster than importing one by one. You just
need to make sure to patch all the links to images, style sheets and the
like in the target project. But that only applies if you change the
structure of the project.
You can also copy the information for context sensitivity this way.
To update the fpj files, you can use the following script:

Some .htm file not displaying in Topic List, but displaying in RH11 folder

Hi All,
We are running a project using RH 11, team consist of 3 person (include me)
But we have problem with many .htm file from my 1st coworker, file not displaying in Topic List in my Robohelp and 2nd coworker.
Although we already get the latest file again and again
But .htm file displaying in all our RH11 folder.
In my 1st coworker RH, all file displaying in Topic List also RH11 folder, but when file generated then
Many files from 1st coworker, hyperlink is not working well (broken link / file not found)
Does anyone have experience about this problem
Thanks

First of all, make sure you do not have the following files in source control: .cpd, .pss, .ldb.
These files contain local information that can cause problems when in source control.
Then try this:
Everyone deletes the .cpd file.
Everyone gets the latest files for the whole project from source control.
Open the project.
Does everything now display correctly?
If yes, you need to make sure you delete the cpd file before opening the project each day, and also during the day if you know a co-worker has made changes that you need. This file is a database which includes a list of all the files Robohelp knows about. When other people are adding and removing files, this information no longer matches properly. I recommend doing a Get Latest in these situations as well, just to make sure Robohelp can find the correct information.
If you are still not seeing the correct files repeat the above process, but at step 2, pick the options to Overwrite local files. I can't say where you will see these options - they may be two checkboxes in a dialog box when you select Get Latest - it will depend on your source control application.
Hope this helps.

Incopy files not updating

Having a problem with Incopy files not updating after designers on Indesign prepare packages on second round of revisions.
First, the designers create an Indesign file and prepare a newly created Incopy package. The editors are able to open the package for the first time. Editors make changes then repackage for designers. Designer then open package from editors and make necessary changes and then repackage back to the editors. At this point, the editors receive a message to replace when opening package. The files open but it doesn't update all the changes that was originally made to it. It as if it is still using the original assignments from the first newly created package. Also, all the assignments have "?" in the assignment window in Incopy. We are unable to figure out how to update the "?" in Incopy or relink or what ever we need to do at this point.
Several things we checked.
1. Unstuffing the package contents from the designers shows all updated file dates. So we know the package contains the newest updated assignment files.
2. If the designers rename the file names on all the assignments in the assignment folder, then repackage. The files open on Incopy with updated changes. But not if the file name remains the same. Also, if the assignment files are all renamed, it doesn't ask to replace anything on Incopy.
At this point. Our only solution is to rename all the assignment files and repackage. But we shouldn't have to be doing this, especially since it adds time to the designers to repackage the files.
Designers using Indesign CS 3 on Mac OS 10.6.4.
Editors using Incopy CS 3 on PC Windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When the InCopy user opens the assignment package for the first time, it unpacks (it's really like a .zip file) into a folder on their hard drive called InCopy Assignments. The folder is located in My Documents on a PC and in the Home > Documents folder on a Mac.
Every unpacked InCopy assignment package goes into a subfolder within this InCopy Assignments parent folder. Each package's folder is named after the *assignment* name (not the name of the package itself, which is usually the same but not always). So if the assignment name is Chapter1.inca, then the subfolder name will be Chapter1.
When the InCopy user repackages it for the designer, it packages a *copy* of this subfolder. This is the subfolder that Bob is suggesting they delete, after sending off the packaged InDesign file. That's a good idea.
If you can't rely on your editors to do that ... many are very leery of throwing anything away ... then your designers should *rename the assignment* in their Assignments panel before creating an InCopy package for the second or third or whatever time. They can just double-click the assignment in the panel, the Assignment Options dialog box opens, and they can change the name from say "Chapter1" to "Chapter1-v2". They click okay, they choose Package for InCopy, and send it off.
When the editor gets this file and double-clicks it, it unpacks into a different subfolder than before: Chapter1-v2, leaving the Chapter1 subfolder intact. So you avoid the prob of duplicate assignments on the InCopy user's hard drive.
FWIW this was much more of a glitch with CS3. Not sure what Adobe did differently, but assignment packages are much more intelligent in CS4 and CS5.

LR 5 "Some import operations were not performed." Following files not updated because could not be read

Having difficulty with LR5, can view photos on card while trying to import but receive following message "Some import operations were not performed." "The following files were not updated because they could not be read."

Check your destination folder in LR at the top right of the Import panel. LR cannot copy the photos there and so when it tries to import them they aren’t there and cannot be read.
In other words the “cannot be read” message indicates that photos cannot be written to the destination.

Css files not updating in localhost (XAMPP test server)

I've got an issue with a web page I'm developing where the .css files that I attach to the pages will not update on my local host. I can make a copy of the file with a different name and link it to the page. However, if I name any file a name that I've already used then the CSS reverts to whatever was on the original documents. This is making my php page testing a pain when I view the page in a browser. The problem doesn't seem to occur for my other websites, and completely goes away when I select "none" in the testing server options. I'm using XAMPP to run my localhost testing server. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Vista machine. Any ideas? If nothing else it would be nice to know how to delete the old files that are stuck in the testing server directory.

Strange thing... I turned it off and walked away for a few hours. Upon my return I found the issue resolved. I blame the shoe elves. Thanks, you little guys!

Relinked picture files not updating

Hi all,
To begin with, I am using final cut pro 10.0.8 on mountain lion 10.8.4.
The problem I'm having is that my media files are not updating in final cut pro x once they have been changed outside final cut pro. I'll explain what I'm doing:
1. I have imported some png files into my events and chose not to copy to my events folder. These picture files are used extensively in my project.
2. I have found that I need to make some changes to the png files. After making the changes in photoshop (the original file is psd and I save to png), final cut pro does not automatically update the new details even though when I click the event and choose reveal in finder, it takes me to the newly saved file that does have the changes. The file name and location did not change.
3. I then tried to manually relink the files, but it still does not update the new changes. What is interesting is that the info on the picture still refers back to the orginal details when the file was created. Again if I choose reveal in finder, it highlights the newly saved png.
4. I then decided to delete the original png file and empty the trash can. Final cut shows that the media is missing. I saved the png from photoshop again and final cut pro automatically relinked the file, but it is still the old image!
5. As a last resort, I trashed the original image again, resaved the png with a different name, relinked again. This time final cut updates the date it was created, but the image is still the old image!
No matter what I try to do, I can't get final cut pro to update the image. I dropped the png into the timeline and did and export hoping it was just displying the original image but would use the new image when it renders. Unfortunately, the movie it created had the old image still.
Obviously the image the event is pointing to is not the one it is using because I have double checked that the file saved has been updated outside of final cut. Is there something I am doing wrong? Or is there a bug with final cut pro? I'm suspecting it is using a chached file somewhere.
Thanks for your help,
Adrian

Tom, I followed your suggestion and final cut updated the png in the event viewer the first time, but refused to update any further changes I made. So I deleted the entire event, created a new one, and imported a new picture with different name, and could not get it to update again.
What is crazy is when I right-click on it in the event viewer and choose Reveal in Finder, finder shows the updates I made.
Now obviously this would not be suitable in my case, as I can't edit the png file since it has been flattened. I need to work on the photoshop file and then save over th png file. Surely I should be able to save over my png file (when I save as from photoshop) and final cut should see the changes.
Rgarding your question, the pictures I have are different angles of an office scene which will be my background for me green screen shots. I had to tweek a few parts of it and only then found that final cut didn't want to update them. Now that I have this problem, I don't want to continue any further until this is sorted out incase I have to make more changes.
I've only had this new computer for 8 days, so final cut has not been installed for long. But since no one else is having this proble, I'll trash final cut and download it again. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

Library files not updating

Hi,
I have successfully used library files in my web pages for
years using a past version of Dreamweaver.
I have just started using Dreamweaver MX 2004, and whenever I
update a library file (that has already been inserted in an html
file) the html file is not updated. I started a new web site from
scratch, so am using only files that have been created by this
version of Dreamweaver.
In other words, updating the library file only updates the
library file itself, and doesn't alter the html document that has
the library file inserted into it. This pretty much means that the
library file functionality in Dreamweaver MX 2004 is useless.
Was there a bug fix for this that I needed to get?
Cheers

Try this -
Use Site Manager to export this site definition to a place
you can find.
Then REMOVE this site definition. Then IMPORT the one you
just exported.
Does it work now?
If it does not, can you confirm that your Library items are
in a folder
named "Library" and that this folder is in the root level of
the local site?
Also, are you uploading the local files after you have
changed the Library
item?

.Class file not updating

Hi all,
I am working on an applet that requires the use of a .class file. So, when I make changes to test.java, I want the changes to move over to test.class, however they are not moving over there. In a sense, my .class file is outdated and is not updating when I save my .java file or run it (as an applet). How can I get this file to update?

Also from your initial post it is clear that you don't understand the life-cycle of a Java program. Your java file is source, it has nothing to do with what happens at runtime. It is only the compiled class file that is important.

Pfirewall.log file not updating

Hi,
I configured Windows Firewall to allow logging in my DC Firewall GPO. settings are
Log dropped Packets -enabled
Log successfull connections -enabled
Log file path and Name:
%systemroot%\system32\logfiles\firewall\pfirewall.log
size limit 32767
The Pfirewall.log file is located in this area but is not updating itslef. Is there something I need to do to enable the file to have an updated time stamp and overrwite itself after it reaches a certian size. I changed the size limit from
1024 to 32767 today but still does not seem to update itself.
My 2003 Domain's pfirewall.log IS updating and it is pointing to c:\windows directory. Is there a service that needs NFTS permissions on the folder where the log file resides? or a different GPO setting that handles this?
Thanks,
Kevin C.

Hello Kevin,
Please check this link.
http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2010/07/how-to-manage-windows-firewall-settings-using-group-policy/
Before exporting, go to the properties (check the last part of the link), where you see the logging option and configure your logging settings. Then import these settings in your GPO.

Psd files not updating edited smart objects (PS CC as of 6/3/14)

I created a master PSD file and added four different TIF files as 'linked' (not embedded) Smart Objects. If I edit these linked files (they open when double-clicked, or 'Edit Contents') make changes and then save & close the edited master TIF files, the main PSD file does not reflect the edited changes. If I double click the Smart Object, it opens and shows my edits, but to save & close still does not update the master PSD file. I do this all the time without issue, so I am perplexed. Even if I right-click the smart object and select "Update All Modified Content" nothing changes. Closing the file, restarting Photoshop- nothing updates the main PSD file with the changes to the edited TIF files... EXCEPT if I 'replace contents' with the same file: then it updates the PSD.
Any ideas?

I was actually just working in Illlustrator. Selecting the vector object and then select PS and Paste. I'm then asked if I want this to be a smart object. I select yes and it adds the object as a smart object layer. If I double click the layer it opens it in Illustrator, I make a change, save it and close it. Then back to PS and the smart object doesn't update.
I haven't used Place Embedded or Place Linked. I don't understand what those functions do. It's just not how I'm use to working.
Actually I have a large PSD doc. Inside it is a group of objects that I have turned into a Smart object. Inside that (by double clicking) is an AI file that is also a smart object. When I open that up to make a change it won't update once I save and close.
I have tried a coulpe of test with placed Linked and Embedded objects and I can't get those to work either. So what ever the change was. So far not really liking it.

"File Not Supported" Message when importing AVCHD footage into Premiere on Mac

Hi,
What I am using:
Camera: Sony FS100
Media Codec: AVCHD
Computer: iMac running OSX 10.8.2
Premiere CS6
I have a quirky issue I have been trying to figure out. I just bought a Sony FS100 camera which records footage in the AVCHD format. When I import the "private" folder the camera creates into Premiere, it brings the footage in but always give me this error message: "File format not supported" along with a list of every clip on the card. The thing is, despite the warning, Premiere brings in each clip fine into browser window. I can preview the clips, edit them and export them out of the timeline with no problems that I have seen. Additionally, if I go back to the "File" dropdown and select "Import Recent File", I can select any of the the files individually again and NOT get the error message when I bring in the clips. I have imported from the Private folder amd the AVCHD quicktime inside the Private folder and, when I do, I get the above mentioned error. But if I import any of the .mts folders that Premiere can see inside the AVCHD folder (each .mts folder seems to represent each indvidual clip), they come in perfect without the error message. Additionally, if I locate the folder through the media browser, it brings the clips in without the error message. I can then drag these clips into the Project window like I have been trying to do eith the "import" function. So should I not be using the "Import" function with these files? I want to because that is what I did with FCP? Any help would be much appreciated!

The PRIVATE folder contains far more than just the media. Those additional files are what's generated the message.
The proper method here is to use the Media Browser for importing.

CSS files not updating correctly

I'm having some trouble with the css files that are uploaded throught the application builder. When uploading an update to an existing css file, the file is not updated in the browser. Even after closing all browser windows and deleting the temporary internet files the new version is not loaded. I've even tried deleting the file from the app builder and holding the control key down when refreshing the browser and it still loads as if one existed. We currently have 3 seperate server environments and it works fine on 2 out of the 3...could this be a setting on the application server when the file is fetched from the database? It is currently calling:
wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=721404936311769&p_fname=iPRACA.css
I know the correct file is being uploaded to the database because when I view the detailed report in the application builder and click on the file name, the updated version is displayed in the text area. But, when I click on the download icon and open the css file to view, it is still the old version.
I'm currently using APEX version 2.3 and OAS 10.1.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi YodaHart,
What happens when you rename your css?
Does it work then?
I also guess it's the Oracle AS. However we should investigate further on what you're thinking.
If you query WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ you still see the files while you don't see them in APEX anymore? If yes, I would create another table as select of the WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ table, just to have a backup. If the files aren't used anymore, you should be save by deleting the corresponding old records (for ex through SQLPLUS). After all, these are files you uploaded...
Thanks,
Dimitri

Files not updating from default.dwt

NONE of my pages are updating from the template that I
created them from. To create them I did the following:
File>New>Templates>Site Name>Template
Name>Create...
Then I'd save the file to whatever I was creating..... such
as, index.htm
I have done this for 6 new pages....
Then I change the links on the template and have it and when
I'm asked if I want to update ALL of the pages that were created
based on that template I answer yes... (obviously)..
But.... the pages do NOT update. it even says so in the
"Update Pages Dialog Box". it says that NO Pages were updated?
Why is that and what possible cause could there be.
I have a Dreamweaver manual and have defined the site about a
dozen times (after removing it first) and I have dome so RIGHT TO
THE BOOK..... but the dang template will NOT update the sites pages
created from it........grrrr..........
Any suggestions? Thanks for any replies.....

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?
Or, read this -

Linked Images/Files not Updating to Remote Versions

Recently, I've noticed that when I go to upload a new page to our company intranet, any linked images or files do NOT update to the linked versions when they are uploaded --- they are still pointing to the versions on my local drive, so all users see a broken image or are linked to a broken file. I am putting/checking in dependent folders, and the images/files are successfully loaded to the intranet.
I'm able to fix the issue by manually locating the remote versions of the image/file and inserting it into my .html by hand, but obviously I would prefer to be able to do this automatically. This only started happening recently, as I never had trouble automatically updating links. As far as I know, no settings have changed.
This is for CS5. Any ideas? Let me know if there are any relevant settings or info I can provide.

Sounds like you have not created a Site Definition in DW. If you're working within a properly defined local site folder, DW correctly manages paths & assets for you.
