RoboHelp HTML 10 is taking one of my topic files and copying it multiple times.

I am using RoboHelp HTML 10 to update a reference project with about 1,500 topics in it. Today, I created a new topic with several internal bookmark links. I have edited this topic file several times and saved it without any problems but late today, when I wanted to save the file and close the project, RH gave me an error message about the file name being too long and the TOC reference was too long. This error message repeated over and over so I used Task Manager to kill RH and I rebooted my PC.  When I got RH running again, I discovered 40 copies of the topic file listed in the Project Manager window.  Each file name is a unique creation made up of the original topic file name and one or more of the internal links. Here is a sample of the names:
Ultimate_Data_Display.htm (topic file with several bookmarks)
Ultimate_Data_Display.htm#View_Data (no .htm suffix - when I open one of these files using NotePad, the file contains an exact copy of the original html code)
Ultimate_Data_Display.htm#View_Data#Detailed_View
Ultimate_Data_Display.htm#View_Data#Detailed_View#Summary_View
The file names get longer and longer until the 260-? character limit is reached.
RH appears to be parsing the topic file, pulling out the bookmark code, concatenating various bits together and then saving copies of the original file under these new names. Perhaps this is occuring because of some interaction between RH and the version control system we are using.  However, I don't know what version control system we have. I have a "source folder" on my local desktop and RH is doing some type of checking in and checking out of all the files that I work on.
Any suggestions on how to stop this problem would be great, as I have several new topic files to create over the next few work-days.

This is a new one on me.
Have you tried deleting the CPD file and then working on the project?
Where is the project located?
Does your working environment have a backup tool running all the time, such as Memeo?

  • How can one  read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.

    How can one read a Excel File and Upload into Table using Pl/SQL Code.
    1. Excel File is on My PC.
    2. And I want to write a Stored Procedure or Package to do that.
    3. DataBase is on Other Server. Client-Server Environment.
    4. I am Using Toad or PlSql developer tool.

    If you would like to create a package/procedure in order to solve this problem consider using the UTL_FILE in built package, here are a few steps to get you going:
    1. Get your DBA to create directory object in oracle using the following command:
    create directory TEST_DIR as ‘directory_path’;
    Note: This directory is on the server.
    2. Grant read,write on directory directory_object_name to username;
    You can find out the directory_object_name value from dba_directories view if you are using the system user account.
    3. Logon as the user as mentioned above.
    Sample code read plain text file code, you can modify this code to suit your need (i.e. read a csv file)
    function getData(p_filename in varchar2,
    p_filepath in varchar2
    ) RETURN VARCHAR2 is
    input_file utl_file.file_type;
    --declare a buffer to read text data
    input_buffer varchar2(4000);
    begin
    --using the UTL_FILE in built package
    input_file := utl_file.fopen(p_filepath, p_filename, 'R');
    utl_file.get_line(input_file, input_buffer);
    --debug
    --dbms_output.put_line(input_buffer);
    utl_file.fclose(input_file);
    --return data
    return input_buffer;
    end;
    Hope this helps.

  • After saving project upon reopening one of my video files and it's corresponding audio is red

    After saving project upon reopening one of my video files and it's corresponding audio is red (both are offline).  Attempts at relink result in a warning that the audio will be deleted (which is does when tested).
    This project is based on a multicam sequence (2 video files) and using Pro CC (latest Cloud build).
    Anyone come across this and/or have a solution?  Thanks in advance.

    Appreciate your assistance and guidance Mark.  Yes, I am a newbie on this forum - and fairly new to premiere pro though have used elements since version 4.  I'll answer your leads below.
    First off, some bookkeeping & jargon matters:
    "you reported the file extension (.mts) but not the codec of the video therein. AVCHD?"
    .mts files are Sony AVCHD files.  filmed with Sony NXCAM NXU5 camera.
    "re: the version you're on, rather than simply stating "the latest," it helps to report the exact version numbers as shown in the About box. That not only avoids any confusion today but also aids customers who come upon a thread months from now."
    Version is 7.2.0
    "you refer to "rendering" to a new format. I know that "render" is the right term in some NLEcosystems, but with Premiere we distinguish between rendering and exporting/encoding. Rendering is reserved for creating preview files for smoother playback within PPRO, whereas exporting/encoding covers writing a sequence out to an output clip."
    My bad - I exported/encoded the sequence to a new output clip.
    Now back to our regularly scheduled troubleshooting. Three questions:
    did you start this project in CC7.1 and then update to 7.2/7.2.1 along the way?
    I started this in 7.2.0
    are either of the clips in the multicam sequence spanned?
    I don't know what "spanned" refers to
    I gather that you created the multicam sequence via the new workflow in the Project panel: select the clips, right-click>CreateMulticamSourceSequence. Am I right?
    Correct
    If so, please create a new sequence, set the timeline to insert sequences as individual clips (via the left-most button under the timecode control), add the multicam sequence to the new sequence, and post a screenshot of the timeline.
    Now all of a sudden I am able to open my project file(s) as before with no problems.... very curious. 
    I did this and then could not find my multicam sequence.... so no screen shot... BUT what happened?
    thank you for your guidance with this.

  • Two Apple IDs one one computer sharing music files and want both to have iTunes match for iPhones

    My wife and I share one windows computer. We each have our own iTunes accounts but share the music files.  We want to both use iTunes Match but I can't turn that on on both accounts.  Any thoughts?

    You want to use iTunes Match on what devices? As you are aware it is not possible to have iTunes Match enabled for two iTunes Store accounts on the same computer, since any one device can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days. This applies to iOS devices as well as computers.
    iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out. So there are no easy solutions to your situation. If one of you enables iTunes Match on one Apple ID and the other re-downloads anything from your purchase history or has an automatic download happen that will initiate an Apple ID re-association for the device and will lock out the other account for 90 days.
    On iOS devices, it can only be signed into one Apple ID every 90 days for same reason. At this time you've really only got a couple of solutions: Abandon one iTunes Store Apple ID and only use one for all devices; or, purchase a new computer and have separate iTunes Match accounts.

  • One email with iPhone pic attachment is received multiple times

    Searched the discussions and couldn't find this one. Problem is this:
    My wife takes a picture with her iPhone and goes back to her camera roll to view it. While viewing the picture, she clicks to email the photo. She sends it out to her recipients (one time!), who are happy to get the picture the first time, but not the 3, 4 or 5 times following!
    Any thoughts on what the issue here is? Recipient email addresses are in both Yahoo and AOL, so it can't be blamed on the recipient email server.
    Why are these leaving the outbox multiple times?
    Also, no "multiple sent" issues with emails that don't have pix attached.
    Thanks! -Steve

    I have this exact same problem. After trying to send an email with a picture attached, the person receives it multiple times and then i will get an error on my device, stating that the email did not deliver, when in fact it did, and keeps on sending it a few more times. Between 2 and 5 times each time i send an email with a picture. This was not happening if a picture was not attached.

  • PUZZLED: Iphone 4s ran out of space after taking one photo from lock screen and deleted whole photo album. Can I recover?

    My phone is running 6.0.1. I took one photo from the lock screen by sliding up the camera button.  It was a little blurry so I tried again and the iphone 4ssaid it couldn't because the phone was out of space. 
    After shutting the phone off and turning it back, put in the passcode and checked my photos and they were all gone.  my usage says I only have 150kb left on the 16gb phone it says zero photos and zero videos. I only have 10 applications and 606 songs.  It seems the photos are still on the device as the space is being used but i cant access them.  Any idea or suggestions will help. Thanks

    I i backup from current state would it not backup without the photos. Maybe I should just restore from the last backup posible and this should have all photos until then. But before i restore from backup I wish i could just access the photos. I don't understand in the first place how they all deleted, and secondly why iphone still recognizes the space being used.  This is such a glitch, which is very frustrating.  i wish someone at apple can give me more insight....

  • How to delete one kind of music file and keep another.

    Hello everyone, I'm new here and I hope you can help me. I have an iPod touch, and I am trying to add my music to it, but I only want the AAC versions on my iPod.  I've got some mp3 tracks in iTunes, and some AAC versions as well.  I have added the "kind" column, to order the files by their mp3 and AAC versions.  Now I want to delete the mp3 versions, and keep the AAC versions to add to my iPod.  Is there a way of highlighting the mp3 versions en masse, so I can select all the mp3 tracks in one go, ready to delete them?  I don't want to remove them from the computer itself; just from iTunes.  I could select each mp3 track in turn, and delete them individually, but that is a laborious way of doing the job.  I'm looking for an easier method.  Can anyone offer me a suggestion as to how to do this please, either via iTunes, or via a file management method in my Windows PC?  Thank you for your time in reading this question.

    It's OK, I sorted it myself.  I sorted the songs by "kind" as explained above.  Then I highlighted the first mp3 track, scrolled down to the last one, then pressed the shift key to highlight all the mp3 tracks.  Finally, I right clicked and chose "delete" from the options, which removed all the mp3 tracks in one go.

  • One question about the MouseListener and Copy function.

    Hola,
    I want my program to activate a method when the user press left mouse button, but in other window, in other program. I can make it with the Listener, but only when the window of my java program is active. I want to my program to listen for pressing a mouse in other window. And my second question is that I want to make the function like copy - the same, if I am in other window. For example if I have marked one fail to generate copy to the clipboard. Is that possible.
    Thanks.

Your best bet to listen for activities in other non-Java programs is to use a programming language that gets closer to the OS such as C/C++.
    And my second question is that I want to make the function like copy - the same, if I am in other window. For example if I have marked one fail to generate copy to the clipboard. Is that possible.I'm not clear on this. What do you mean by "marked one fail"?

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Robohelp HTML crashes after emptying a project

    Hi,
    I use Framemaker to do most of my authoring, and then import
    the files into RoboHelp HTML to generate the HTML help. As the
    first step in importing the files, I delete all the topics, TOC
    entries, and IX entries from the RoboHelp project. If I don't do
    this, I end up with duplicates all over the project.
    After I empty out the project, and try to save it, RH goes
    belly up and I have to click through two sets of the "Adobe
    Robohelp 7 has encountered a problem and needs to close" dialog
    boxes. Having clicked "Send Error Report" a dozens of times, I'm
    wondering if there is anything else I can do about this problem.
    Thanks,
    John B.

    Hi all
    John, I couldn't help but notice that you said you are trying
    to delete
    ALL content from the project. And here is where my gut is
    telling me the issue lies.
    My thought is that you might take the following approach.
    Create a single topic. One that will never exist in Framemaker.
    Only in RoboHelp. Then forget about that topic. Never delete it or
    anything. Then when you do your clean out, I'd take this approach.
    Flush the TOC and the Index. Shouldn't matter which order you
    use. Just that you flush these first. I say flush these, as they
    depend on the content in the topics.
    Flush the Topics. Well, all but the single topic that should
    remain.
    My thought here is that if you are deleting everything from
    the system, RoboHelp is going belly up with no topics. And if you
    deleted the Topics first, RoboHelp may be gagging on gobs of
    updates as it wildly is trying to track all the sudden broken links
    to TOC and Index items. That's why I suggested these as a first
    step.
    Please give that a go and let us know if it helps... Rick
