Beta 4 help files

I cannot access the help files within the beta of Lightroom. I uninstalled and reinstalled the product and did a repair to the installation as instructed by the error message, all to no avail. Anyone else have this problem?

Lightroom 4 Help files will be available when Lr4 is released. There are no Help files for a beta as the beta is a moving target.

Flash 9 Beta Help Files (F1)

I've installed Flash 9 beta and see no help files at all in
Flash Help (F1) section.
Is it OK, or that's a bug?
Is it possible to insert into F1 window a standart Flash 8
Help "books" ("How to use help", "Getting started with Flash",
"Using components" ans so on) and also a new AS 3.0 help section?
Thanks!

The Flash 9 BETA? Where/how did you obtain this? If you are
truly a BETA tester then you would be
asking on the BETA listserv - not the public forum. You must
have obtained this BETA illegally and
have now announced it publicly on Adobe's forum - I would not
have done such a thing to be honest -
it is illegal for you to have this copy of the flash tool if
you were not legally supposed to be
testing it.

How do I tell the installer to put my html help files in the helpdir symbolic location?

I used the File>>Print function to create an HTML help file for my application and specified in the VI Properties for the app to use <helpdir>:\ApplicationHelp.HTML as the Help Path. This should pop up the help file when a user selects "Help for This VI" from my custom menu. It works from my development directory because I installed the help files into the help directory manually, but I can't figure out how the get the installer to put the files in the correct location on the target system. I tried putting them in [LabVIEW 2010 Help] in the Destination View for the Source Files category, but that didn't work. Anyone know the right way to do this?

Hey MrSmith,
In LabVIEW 2010 SP1, if open the Project and right click My Computer, you can add the help file as a source. After you have added this file, you can then create an installer. Under the Destination header, you can add your desired destination path. After you have done that, you can go to the Source Files header and add the help file to that destination you created.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your application!
~kgarrett
Thank you for the reply! I had already done the steps you suggested, so let me put up some screen shots that should help you understand my issue better. First, I specified the path to the help information on the Documentation screen of the applications Properties:
Next I had added all the help files (DetectorFT.html and all the .png files) to the source in a virtual folder I named Resources.
Next, for the release build I specified the files to be Always Included on the Source Files header.
Next I created a Resource Directory as a destination for the release build.
Then I specified the Resource directory as the destination for the files for the Release build.
After creating the Release build, I created an Installer build and told it on the SOurce Files screen to put the help files into the [LabVIEW 2010 Help] directory.
I had assumed that putting the files in the [LabVIEW 2010 Help] destination would put them into the correct directory when the installer ran. When I ran the installer on the target system, the ran the application I tried to select the "Help for This VI" tab on the menu, but it was grayed out indicating it could not find the file in the proper location. So the question I have is, what IS the proper location for the files to be installed to so the the application will find the Help files when it is looking for them at the <helpdir> Symbolic Path location? Thanks again!

How can I get help? Help files do not work.

1. None of the links in my Help files from within the program go anywhere. I had to manually go online to the Adobe site to get to this spot to try to get help. I'm using Elements Organizer 10. I can bring up the Help browser with all the topic links, but clicking on them does nothing.
2. The reason I was trying to access the Help files is that I cannot figure out how to see all the photos in a file instead of just the most recently imported photos. I am in Folder Location display mode. I tried to import all the photos in a particular file, but it imported only seven--said the rest had already been imported. But now it will only show me those seven just imported. I can go back to Thumbnail view, which gives me the View All button, but then I can't limit the view to just the photos in a particular file. I am so frustrated!
And since I don't really know how I got to this screen (thought I was submitting a question to Adobe Support) I don't know if I can even find my way back here to check for somebody's kind assistance!

Thanks for your response.
I believe the problem is that there is no "Show All" button in the Folders
View. I've gone back to Thumbnail View and selected "Show All," then
returned to the Folders View and clicked on the particular folder, but it still
displays just those seven photos. If I click on another folder I get all
of the photos in that folder, but click back on this folder and I'm back to
just seven of 50+ items. Interestingly, I also tried going to the Import
Batch view, and in that batch it shows only two pictures!
By the way, I have shut down the program and restarted a couple of times.
I've also checked to make sure there are no album or keyword items checked
which would limit the items shown.
I cannot afford to update to PSE11, because I just updated to 10 last
month! I'm feeling very stupid at this point and about ready to give up.

The folder view in PSE9 and PSE10 is of limited interest; the new version

Unable to open help files in Pagemaker 7.0.1a in Windows 7

I see this question has been asked before, but the link to the solution no longer works. Page maker works fine in Windows 7 64 bit, but when I click on the help button, nothing happens. If the link on the previous solution can be updated or expounded upon, that would be great. Thanks for your time, Steve

Did Indesign fix the skew problem?
I scan lots of old books and then need to set the resulting tif files. They are never exactly right and have skew. In PageMaker I could fine tune the skew to the nearest .1 degree. In InDesign, only to the nearest degree. You will notice the difference. Lots of pages deskew at .3, .2, -.5 degree. Note these are all tenths. I ran into this problem, I did not see a solution, I dropped the trial version of InDesign.
PS as I'm stuck with PM7, I made the mistake of trying to move the help files from IE to Google Chrome, not remembering that Chrome will not open local files. I've wiped out the IE code that will run IE and now have no help files. (File: Preferences: Online) Moving to Firefox does not work for the same reason: It won't open local files because of security problems. PM7 is hardwired in such a way as to mis-present the local file, such that even if Firefox could open it, it won't. So we need the original magic code, as without it, PM7 cannot start IE, which means that IE cannot display html formatted help pages.
Many thanks for your help.
PPS: Contiunued fussing about, I found the PM help files, under Adobe/PM/RIS??/USEnglish/Help (I think) and then went to the main help.htm and double clicked. Came right up in >>Google Chrome<< which supposedly does not run local files. I then bookmarked it. So I can't get to the help from inside PM7, but I can hit the bookmarked file in Chrome. Chrome displays it better than IE.

How do I get a more modern look and feel for a compiled help file

I gather from reading various posts that there is no easy way
to generate a .chm file with a more modern look and feel (am I
right about this?). Are there no plug-ins available from Adobe that
will enable us to generate a help file that looks more modern?
I hesitate to move to flash help or something like that
because, of course, then the developers would have to hookup the
hundreds of dialog boxes we have in our product to the new files. I
also think that having one file is way easier to manage in terms of
getting updated help to the customers. What are online Help
developers generally delivering for apps where users are not
connected to the Internet except perhaps periodically while using
the software? I'm a writer (not a developer) so need soemthing that
is easy to implement :-)
Thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.

To add to the advice already offered, you can apply a skin to
a CHM file which allows you to customise it. However as with most
things there are issues with this approach. You can read about this
by downloading Rick Stone's excellent
tips
'n tricks file. Just look in the index under "skins". Something
else you may want to look at is the beta of Adobe's
AIR.

Flash CS4 Help File Offline What Happened to Tag Defintions Showing UP?????

Ok I know I can set the help system to browse offline however
this doesn't work correctly for any less then ActionScript 3. When
you highlighted a word in the past such as "null" it use to pull up
the word and the info in all the books. Now all I see is a web
browser that doesn't do this for me. I mean who sits there at
adobe's end and thinks up of ways to slow someone down like this??
How can you remove the core help quick linking from the program.
Number 1 not everyone is on AS3 and some of us still have to update
AS2 code.
Bigspace ships has an air application that installed AS3 flex
reference but again useless unless you are on AS3. Has anyone found
another way to get this old school functionality to work on
CS4???

Jay Armstrong here. I’m one of the writers who works on
the Flash docs.
Regarding this comment and the many others in other threads
that have added important details about the issues with the help
workflow, and in particular the ActionScript help workflow: We hear
your pain and we are working to implement solutions to these
issues.
I understand that this new help workflow is more painful than
in CS3 when you had the Help right in its own panel in the product.
Here’s some background:
The implementation of Help within the Flash Help panel prior
to CS4 required that *all* the Help files be installed on the local
drive with the product, resulting in some issues that we tried to
address in CS4. Including Help on the installation disc caused
issues including:
- Required that Help be completed much earlier for
localization and end-game testing.
- Resulted in static Help files that had been completed early
in the development cycle, sometimes not accounting for last minute
UI or other changes.
- A long install process.
- Crowded the installation disc.
These aren't meant to be full explanations of why we made the
changes, but just some background as to some of the things we were
thinking about. Clearly the decisions we came to weren't the right
ones for many users. We are intent on making things better.
Moving Help online makes it possible to update Help on an
ongoing basis, allows users to comment on and embellish the Help,
and allows us to add links from the help out to new articles,
tutorials, videos, and code samples on adobe.com and throughout the
Flash web community. One of you rightly pointed out that the Adobe
Updater could have been used for some of this, but I believe that
the updater would have required much more rigorous certification by
us of any update packages and the update/install process for each.
We actually are updating the online help files very frequently, so
this process would have been a major barrier to these updates.
We’ve had a struggle about how to deliver the Flash
Help for a long time, as we have a lot of users who have been quite
vocal about not liking the Help panel consuming space within the
Flash window as well as users who really want it there so they
don’t have to leave the IDE.
Having said all that, I still totally understand what
you’re saying about losing your code, glance, code, glance,
code workflow. As you probably know, we’ve been getting a lot
of feedback about this, along with other issues that online Help
has caused. We are actively looking at ways of solving these, but
the Help-in-a-browser issue a difficult problem, as this aspect of
the Help implementation is baked fairly deep into the CS4 product.
Since CS4 shipped, we have implemented solutions to some of the
issues with Help raised by users, such as allowing you to select
the default destination of F1 (though Flash CS4 always went to the
actual Help system rather than the Flash Help and Support page,
which is what these users wanted in other products). I just
don’t know if there will be a solution in the CS4 time frame
for viewing Help within Flash itself. As noted in this thread,
there are a few independent developers working on non-browser help
viewers, such as Jamie Kosoy, Technical Director at Big Spaceship,
whose AIR application for the CS4 Language Reference docs is
available at
http://labs.bigspaceship.com/2008/12/09/air-app-as3-language-reference/.
We knew that people use the AS3 Language Reference a lot, so
we did install a local, abridged version of that with the product.
You only see it when not connected to the internet or if you
disable online connections as described earlier in this thread, and
it still opens in a web browser and still has the same navigation
interface as the online version. You can also download a local copy
of the AS Reference, which does get updated periodically and can be
viewed locally regardless of the state of your internet connection,
but it also is all html and opens in a web browser. As previously
noted, the download is available here:
http://help.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flash/10/ActionScript3LangRef.zip.
I know this thread started off with AS2 concerns, and we hear
those too.
In some of the other threads out there about the Help, people
have raised issues about the contents navigation in the CS4 version
of the ASLR as well. We are listening to all these issues and
actively working on solutions that will address these questions.
We’d really like to give you better control over whether you
see online or local content, whether you see it inside the IDE or
in a separate application, etc.
I know that you are all really frustrated at some of these
help changes, and so I want to say how much we appreciate your
feedback. I’m sorry that my reply doesn’t give you the
magic bullet that you are understandably hoping for.
-Jay

Flash 9 Alpha ate my help files

Just installed the Flash 9 taster (as it were) to explore the
delights of as3 - boomshanka - no helpfiles, have not nosed around
yet to see what else is ary

update??

Your spelling of awry is ary. But everything else looks
okay. ;)
> Anyone else had good or bad experiences with this

Welllll, it's not so much an update as a beta. That's an
important
distinction! Having said that, though, I haven't had any
problems. My Help
files are all still accounted for -- in Flash 8, that is. Are
you saying
the Flash 9 beta ate your Flash 8 documentation? Or is it
just that Flash 9
seems to have no Help? If that's it, then we're in the same
boat. Flash 9
doesn't have help files (those are available online).

Need to include help file

Hello,
Can anyone give me advice on how to include a help file in our web-start project?
It's currently a .chm (we can generate other formats too, I think. I just need to know which one!) that executes via hh.exe, but this has obvious drawbacks, the primary one is that it won't run from the jar file.
What's the standard way of including help documentation in a java app?
Thanks! --- Eric

I've started with JavaHelp, we'll see where that leads. Seems to be a better solution than .chm files.

Help with "Help File"

Hi all,
I have an almost-complete application to which I'm adding a help file. I am using the a VI called "Online Help file" or some thing to that effect (I would check but this internet station isn't my work station so I don't have access here...). I have created an HTML based help file using "Windows HTML workshop." This file opens correctly on any XP or 2000 system I open it with. However, I created a VI to open the help file when the "Help" tag on the menu bar is activated and this seems to work on my LabView developement system, but not on other systems (after having installed the application). No errors are posted, the help file simply doesn't open. I'm beggining to think that I may be missing some additional installers that I didn't realize were necessary for this application. I currently install LV8.2RTE and the VISA Run-time 4.0. These are the only installers I have been including. Do I need other installers for the help file to work correctly (keeping in mind that this VI works flawlessly in the application on the developement system, but not on other PCs)? If not could someone shed some light on my problem? Thanks a bunch!
Ryan
PS: If needed I can try to post some pics.

Hello,
Ok ok... only 4 stars for that effort... let's see if we can do better
First, I see the same behavior upon closing the application I originally attached - the chm also closes
Apparently what's happening is that when we use the online help control VI, the chm file is opening in the calling application's context, in this case the LabVIEW app/runtime engine instance.
We can get around this by making a call which will open the chm file explicity in Windows - we can do this from LabVIEW with the command exec VI.
I have attached the code this time as well - everything is zipped up (lvproj, vi, & exe). You'll notice I have used a diagram disable structure so you can see both implementations - the previous one is disabled of course.
I hope THIS is what you were looking for
Best Regards,
JLS
PS - if you want your LabVIEW application to close by itself after it completes execution, you can use the Exit LabVIEW function at the end of the VI and rebuild the exe.

Access keys: please direct me to info for my help file?

I set up my web pages with access keys for mouseless navigation. I have been given to believe that, on a Mac, one may hold Alt and press an access key to activate the desired function.
(E.g., accesskey="9" for the "Contact us" page is acquired by holding down Alt and then pressing 9).
This seems not to work in Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows, and I can't find a Help file for it, or a thread here. Does anyone have a hint to offer?

Actually, its not a coding error...
ALT+1 opens the first item in the Bookmarks Bar.
I already sent a Bug Report to Apple for them to provide us developers a way to override special keys (F1, F5, Ctrl+P, etc). Easy to do in IE but all the ways I've tried in Safari came up wrong.
Let's wait for the next beta... at least in 3.0.5 this problem remains.
Also, if anyone has a workaround, I would gladly appreciate it.

Help files are annoying

Does anybody else think the way the help files for WebLogic Workshop are presented
now are annoying?
Anytime I need to search for something, I can't go back. The index frame is updated
so there is no back trail. If I go on a wrong path, I can't easily go back to
where I
started. I'm copy and pasting to text files just so I don't have to go thru the
pain of
using the GUI. I've talked to others using the GUI and they say the same thing.
I've see request for PDF files for the help docs and assume they are request for
the same thing - a way to go around the interface.
I'm starting to hack the html files, but this isn't reasonable.
Am I alone in this?

You're so not alone. I hate having to turn to the help files. And I
experience the same exact problems you do. I use them as a last resort
because of the usability issues. I also have issues with the content
itself. Once you get beyond the basics the help files are lacking in
content. For example, go try and figure out how to make use of a Scoped
Response.
It should get better, but in the mean time, this is all we have to work
with.

Download help file for VE2008

I am a rookie at this, know a little about C++ and Win32. Need to download the VE2008 help file into the VE application. Right now as I type it has been downloading it for hours, seems to be stuck, please help. Thanks.
Also had to use the unique name jakemichael, but my preferred handle is neferkamichael and my account is under [email protected], this login said neferkamichael was already in use, please help sort this out. Thanks.

Hi jakemichael,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Could you tell me where you download the help file?
Do you mean that you add some contents and update them under Help View?
>>Also had to use the unique name jakemichael, but my preferred handle is neferkamichael and my account is under [email protected], this login said neferkamichael was already in use.
Could you please share me a screen shot about your issue.
In addition, I suggest you could try to run your VS Express2008 as admin and then check if you can download this help file.
Actually you know that we didn't support the VS2008 since it was a really old version. So if possible, I suggest you could try to download this latest version of the VS Express 2013 and then check this issue again.

Problem to create MXP with help files

Hi,
I have 2 components I'd like to create. The creation is ok,
but while installing the second one with the Extension Manager,
there is a conflict with the help files (help_toc.xml).
What I want, is 2 MXP which install my 2 components under a
directory "myComponents/myFirstComp" and
"myComponents/mySecondComp". And that in each panel (Actions,
Component, Help).
Here I have posted a ZIP with 2 examples which reproduce the
error when you install both components :
Zip File
If you find the good configuration to make what I want,
please tell me.
Thanks.
Sam.

I explain better:
I have a Class -> InterfazFactoriaPaneles, with this main
public static void main(String[] args) {
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                    InterfazFactoriaPaneles application = new InterfazFactoriaPaneles();
                    application.getJFrame().setVisible(true);
in the Frame I add a JPanel with an image, to load the image I override this method, where com.constructor.imagenes, it's the path where I've got my images :
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
          Dimension tamanio = getSize();
          ImageIcon     imagenFondo = new ImageIcon("./src/com/constructor/imagenes/patronConstructor.jpg");
          g.drawImage(imagenFondo.getImage(),0,0,tamanio.width,tamanio.height,null);
          setOpaque(false);
          super.paintComponent(g);
the with a menu, I remove the panel with the image I load other panel with components (JTextField, JTable, JLabel,...).
If run the program from eclipse, everything it's ok, if I export into jar file, it works if the jar it's inside the project folder, but if I put the jar in other location, doens't load images, I google from answer and I read to put images path like that: new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/com/constructor/imagenes/patronConstructor.jpg")); , but if I do that, and run in eclipse, everything it's ok, but If I export into a Jar, I load the image, but when I try to change to other panel it doesn't work.
So I do not what's the answer, if someone check my code, and try to make a jar, and the move the jar file into other location, will be able to see images doesn't appears.
