Adding a New Folder in Project Manager Crashes RH

For the past few days, I have been having problems creating
new folders in RH 7, Project Manager. Sometimes, it works just
fine, and I can add folders, drag topics into them, import into
them, create new topics, whatever.
But then sometimes, the project manager just goes to white
and flashes at me for a while, then RH crashes. The only things I
can see in the PM pane are the triangular colored icons that
overlay folders / topic icons when they include conditional build
tags. No topic names, no folder names, just a column of these
triangles.
When I come back into RH after the crash, most times there
are topics to reimport and / or relocate. I have rebuilt the cpd
file several times. Each time it seems to resolve the issue, but
eventually another crash comes along as I try to add a folder.
For the record, just updated to the new 7.02.001 a few
minutes ago, but RH just crashed again. 3GB RAM, more than 40GB
space available on hard drive. Nothing new on my PC that I can
think of.
Anyone else seeing this?

I'm just wondering if anyone has found a cause or solution of this issue?
I'm experiencing it too with one of my projects (currently, I'm on RH8.02.202 on Win7/64, but I've also experienced it in RH7 on WinXP/32, FWIW).
Some other details:
My project is on my C:\ drive.
The folder names are all comprised solely of alphanumerics and underscores.
I've deleted both the PSS and CPD files without any noticeable positive effect.
Since I've been on RH8, the project is set to rebuild the .cpd cache upon opening, but I've also tried deleting it (this might be redundant, but I figured the RH "rebuild" might be different from generating a brand new one).
After I force RH to close, the folder is there when I reopen the project, and the folder behaves normally.
The project resides in the standard "My RoboHelp Projects" folder.
The problem seems to be isolated to this project, which is my largest (~2065 topics in ~85 folders)
I'm at the point where I just automatically force RH to close after I create a folder rather than waiting to for the application to become "officially" non-responsive.
Are there any other files I might try deleting or examining? I've poked around in the .xpj, .fpj, and .hhp files, but I don't see anything odd. I compared my old .pss with the new one RH created, and they were identical.
Thanks!

I want to create a new folder on my external hard drive for photos. Even though I added the new folder button to the tool bar it is not highlighted so I cannot click on it to create a new folder on this drive.

I have an external hard drive that I would like to pre-make a new folder before I import photos into it. Even though I added the new folder app to by toolbar, it is not highlighted and I cannot use it. It will only let me create new folders if I upload to iPhoto. That is not where I want to store everything. So I need to figure out how to turn on or activate New Folder on my toolbar for all possible downloading options.

If it's a drive that you've previously used with a PC, just double-check the format - click the drive once on the desktop to highlight it, and click cmd-i (the command key and the i key together) to see the Info window. That will tell you, under Format, how it's formatted.
If it's "NTFS", that's the current Windows format. You can read but not write to it with a Mac. If you want full read/write access, you should look into Paragon NTFS, which allows you to do both. Note that some features of te Mac (Time Machine, for example) will only work with Mac-formatted drives.

RoboHelp 8 hangs, locks up, when rearranging / adding folder in Project Manager

'Afternoon everyone,
I'm working on a client's project that has 329 topics; I have imported it from RH5 into RH8 HTML.
In Project Manager, the project files are arranged into about 20 folders. I wanted to rearranging the order of these by drag and drop.
This worked OK for the first two moves; but the third move made RH hang; it locked up. After waiting 15 minutes, I used Ctrl+Alt+Del to shut it down.
Opened it again. I tried to add a new folder into the Project Files folder, but it hangs / locks up again. Can't do anything except crash out of it and try again. Then I get the same problem again - it hangs when I try to add a new folder.
The project files only take 26Mb on disk, but in Task Manager, RoboHelp is running at 45% CPU, 114 Mb Mem Usage, on a fairly high-spec PC. And there it hangs.
Any ideas, anyone?

Now what?!! Cannot edit topics!
When I created the new Help Project in a new folder, I used Create New Blank Project. It creates a new topic. But I couldn't open it to edit it.
OK, try importing files from the 'old' project. It tooka while; BUT - in the new imported rebuild, when I try to open any topic file, I get the same message,
"The file {path}{filename}.htm is associated with a 3rd party editor and may be open in the editor. If so, please close the file in the other application before continuing." (It wasn't open in anything).
When I click OK, it then opens RoboHelp Explorer, and then displays a RoboHelp for Word dialogue telling me:
"This file is not an HPJ file. Please select an HPJ file to open."
I clicked OK and got a RoboHelp for Word message telling me "The file cannot be edited. Make sure the file exists and it is accessible."
Looking in Windows Explorer at the new folder, there is indeed no HPJ file.
Also: when importing the 329 topics, I got a few "cannot copy file" errors for whmsg.js, whver.js, whproxy.js, whutils.js, whtopic.js. I found these in an original backup copy of the project and copied these across. Closed the project, reopened it; But I still cannot edit topics.
(I have also imported Index, Glossary and ToC files.)
Never seen this problem before. I've spent hours trying to sort this out.
Now what? HELP!!

Has anyone got any advice?
Thanks, Ben

Have you done the usual first-aid job of repairing file permissions using disk utility?

P3 Project Manager Crashing with EBDClient error, when refreshing (F5)

My company has 3 sql databases for Prima on a server; 2 are approximately 1.5GB, and the third is just over 2GB
We have 5 client machines (xp sp3 32bit), that use the following setup:
P3 Project Manager version 5 (no service packs installed, but have tried sp1-3 on my machine with the same error)
oracle client 9.2 with tnsnames pointing to the sql server with the prima databases
each machine has 2GB memory with a 3-4GB pagefile
I do not have issues refreshing the other smaller databases.
both the client and server do not take a significant hit on resources while refreshing.
both the server and client are not reporting any errors under event viewer.
they all receive the following error when refreshing (F5) while logged in the third and largest database:

Since adding a new addon, my addon manager won't stay open.

I recently got an email from Firefox with the top addons of 2014. So I downloaded a couple. But now, when I open the Addons Manager, it only stays open for a fraction of a second and then opens a new tab in Firefox with an advertisement for Garmin. How do I stop it from doing that?

Good. Now you have access. And confirmed that it is the add-on.
Do you remember the name of the add-on you think is the problem?
Type '''about:addons'''<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

In Good Reader I cannot now create a new folder in the"manage files" area. any ideas?

In Good Reader I am no longer able to bring up the keyboard and create a new file for my documents. Am I the only one? thanks

That works for me on iOS 7.1 and GoodReader 3.20.0.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

Creating new folder causes RH8 to hang

I'm having trouble with a RH project (RH 8, patched to 8.0.2, source controlled with RSC 3.1): adding a new folder in Project Manager takes up to 15 minutes. It starts out fine, it creates files, checks them out from source control... and then we get an endless loop of Ready - Building File List (sometimes with a Querying Version Control status thrown in the mix). This problem only happens with new folders, not new topics, and it started after we upgraded from RH7 ro RH8.
I saw in other topics that people were able to figure out which particular file was causing issues, but I don't know how to do that. Any help with troubleshooting will be greatly appreciated.

Project Manager will not collect all files and Start a Complete New Project

As editor of several projects consisting of multiple terrabytes of footage, it's very important to me to be able to use the project manager to collect all files and start a new project. However, this is not happening!! After I've completely finished a project I should be able to save a new "trimmed" project in the desired location of choice. When I use this feature with PrPro CS 4.2.1 - I only get a partial trimmed project that when opened asks where are the missing files. I've also tried using the project manager to collect all files and move to a new location. Again, only a part of my project is being moved!!!! Earlier versions of the PpPro had no problems with this function. I've got two systems and both of them are identical in actions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

How can one do that if each project has thousands of pieces of video, text templates, music scores, photoshop documents, after effect files and so on? The number of different folders per project is almost mind boggling. Any help at all in a quick fix or update or anything would be greatly appreciated. I don't have any problem with my other editing programs and have run earlier versions of PrPro that had no problems with collecting all the files within a project and exporting them to a new location throught project manager either in trimmed or full projects. I really hate to have to start using Final Cut again because of such an easy issue. I know I'm overlooking something and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Selecting all items in Project manager

Using Robohelp HTML 9.
My main problem is getting the TOC to alphabetize. I have searched and read the two topics on this but the solution doesn't work for me.
The solution was to alpha the PM list, then delete the current TOC topics and drag and drop the newly alphabetized PM topics over to the TOC, but I can only drag one topic at a time from PM and move it over to the TOC pane and drop it? Surely there must be a way to grab them all and drag and drop?
Then I thought maybe I need to do it from the TOC folder in Project Manager? But when I open the TOC folder under PM it just shows me the name of my help file rather then a list of TOC topics.
So I'm stumped, this is a new product for me and my self learning is not very far along but I'm trying!
Thank you! Below I have posted a screen shot of what I am trying to do. Ahd below that the TOC folder under PM just shows me the filename?

Hi there
You would likely have better luck selecting topics in the Topic List pod. In that pod you can sort topics alphabetically and even filter the view to specific folders.
Just select the topics in the pod, then click the column of icons and drag to the TOC to insert.
Cheers... Rick

Project Manager? How do you all use it?

Hi. Im new to the project manager. It seems as if it could be of benefit to me using it to organise my sessions. What is it for and how do you use it. I have read the manual but want some personal feedback. Thanks, Ben

in theory, the PM keeps tabs on all the files used/made in your sessions.
sorta like a dedicated version of spotlight.
the initial scan takes a while, but then all your audio, midi and patches are in one place after that.
i do a PM scan before and after each important session.
PM can miss stuff, so if you've just added a new sample lib, or tracked some vox for eg., it's a good idea to scan just the audio file section of the tree on the left.
similar with new esx instruments, songs, etc.
the find function allows you to see all clips that meet with the critera set and i use that to check for copies, duplicates, redundant files, etc.
you can also edit any files PM finds. in this way, it's like a bigger, better version of the audio window.
it's too bigger subject to go into too much more detail here, but sufficed to say, i have a lot less trouble with logic finding things if PM is kept up to date.

Unable to move message into new folder in Mail 3.1

Hi
I just added a new folder in Mail, but cannot move a message from my inbox (IMAP) into it. I can move messages into other, older folders, but not into any folders I created today. This is happening with both local and IMAP folders created today.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
D

Okay, here's what I find:
My home directory: drwxr-xr-x+ owner=me
~/Library: drwx------+ owner=me
~/Library/Mail: drwx------ owner=me
Continue to the local mailboxes:
~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes: drwx------ owner=me
~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/(top-most level): drwx------ owner=me
~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/(top-most)/(next level): drwx------ owner=me
That gets us to the info I gave previously, which I already fixed using chown.
If we continue to the +remote (IMAP)+ mailbox:
~/Library/Mail/(imap account): drwx------ owner=me
~/Library/Mail/(imap account)/INBOX: drwx------ owner=me
And that again brings us to the level where the original problem was (and the individual directory that I have corrected using chown.)
So I can fix each directory individually using chown, but I'd like to fix the cause.
Thanks!

How to add new folder

Im having trouble adding a new folder to my Ipod. Im clicking the right button at the bottom left of the screen, but it is adding it in the play lists and not on the devices. What should I do?
Thanks

Well I could actually add the playlists so that I could name them but I put in another Ipod on the same computer and since I put the first one back in, the option for me to put in my own playlists has gone. Any ideas? thanks

Finding / Setting the Pane Level of a new folder

I have added a new folder to the Business partner form but cannot seem to work out what the Pane Level is for the new folder - how do you do this ?
The folder is showing but I cannot set the pane level or add items to it.
I followed the SDK sample which uses a pane level of 5 for the Order Form but I cannot see where it is set.
Thanks

Ok,
I admit my stupidity here - Panes are a virtual item that you put items on and view in conjunction with clicking a form header .
Fixed my own problem again.
