Broken help images

I have had a recurring problem with RoboHelp for Word 6.
Whenever I have to work on a help project that I havent' looked at
in a while, I make my edits and then try to compile (to Web help).
I will get a silent compile failure - the status window says
'Starting compilation...' and the window title says 'WebHelp has
been generated'. No help files are generated. I have learned from
experience (and possibly from this forum) that what this means is
that a help image 'object' has become corrupt and ends up as a Word
image rather than a RH help image. I have to go through each module
(all 28 of them) and switch from Dynamic WYSIWYG to TrueCode. I
started to save the files in TrueCode mode, so that means I have to
convert to WYSIWYG and then convert again to TrueCode. Then I have
to search (visually) for any images that didn't get converted,
delete the image, and re-insert it the RH way. I have noticed that
It is usually one particular image btnChoices.bmp - just an image
of a small button with 3 periods (to simulate an ellipsis - we use
it to show a list of choices that can be entered into a field). So,
a 15 edit ends up taking a day or so trying to get it to compile.
Well it finally happened - I have a file that doesn't get
fixed when I do that. I have it down to:
1. delete the image
2. re-insert the image
3. convert to WYSIWYG
4. convert to TrueType
5. The conversion fails on the image I just added
I tried re-capturing the image and giving it a different name
- no luck.
Has any one else had this problem? Did Adobe correct it in
version 7?

Updating to RoboHelp 7 didn't help.
I ended up making a new project and importing all the .doc
files into it. I found one place that had a compiler tag that
didn't make sense. I removed the tag. Anyway I got it to work -
still don't know for sure what was wrong. A better message would
sure help - or a log file to see how far it got.

  • Samba4: Debugging broken helper responses with ntlm_auth

    Hello.
    I've been using mod_auth_ntlm_winbind+apache2 for NTLM authentication on my Arch web server. I decided to go through and overhaul my old server (thank you dropbear and busybox, makes all the fuss with breaking glibc/filesystem trivial), and in the process samba went to samba4. I'm completely up to date as of yesterday.
    Now, all of a sudden I'm unable to get a proper handshake out of ntlm_auth, and nothing has changed with the config of my box.
    I'm able to kinit a ticket, klist shows it fine. I'm able to net ads join (I did a net ads leave just to start from scratch), wbinfo -u/-g works fine, net ads info reports sane information, it all _looks_ good, until I try to auth via apache. Then I get a handshake response of "BH NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL" which seems to be the most vague error ever.

    I've cut out the base64 strings (I parsed them in an offline tool, they look fine) just for privacy.
    Does anyone have an idea on how to even begin to debug this? I've got no idea where to go, I perused the source of ntlm_auth but it seems to just be a helper into winbind, and that's a bit too big for me to eat right now.
    Thanks!
    Matt

    Well, I downgraded to samba 3.6.10 (last version I had cached) and everything works now, I only wish I knew what was wrong. I'll stick with 3x. Not sure if I should mark this solved as technically it isn't?

  • About Help image does not appear

    RoboHelp X5.2 Webhelp output
    A logo created as a jpg to be used as an About Help button
    will only appear when compiled on my hard drive.
    I got rid of the powered by Robohelp button and created a
    company image in jpg format for the About Help button.
    In my project I double-clicked on the skin, and then the
    About Button, selected the jpg for the About Button image, selected
    a gif to use in the About Help dialog box, added company
    information, company name, etc.
    Part of skin code ----------------
    <toolbaritem mode="Logo Mode" type="built-in-logo"
    id="7">
    <name>About</name>
    <image>selected:napa_logo_blue.jpg?</image>
    I compiled to my local drive. Everything works. The jpg logo
    appears on the top right-hand side, and when you click on it, the
    About Help dialog box opens with the gif image and other
    information.
    However, the development team compiled the help along with
    the application to one of their test boxes. The jpg image does not
    appear. Instead, a small white box with a red x and the words About
    Help appears. When you click on this the About Help dialog box
    opens with all the correct information including the gif image.
    Both images reside in the skin folder on my hard drive. When
    I compile the project they reside in the main folder with all the
    htm files and js files.
    Not sure how to resolve this.
    DM

    I am also having this problem. I've just converted a project
    from RH X5 to RH v7. In X5 the .gif file attached to the About
    button worked fine. In RH 7 nothing appears. I've tried adding the
    .gif to the Baggage files but it's still broken. Any other
    suggestions?

  • Broken Facebook images in single album

    Using Aperture 3.5.1, images and albums shared with Facebook is in the Facebook shared section in the Library tap.
    Selecting this shows the albums shared with the Facebook connected (I only got one Facebook connection).
    I previously shared images in an Aperture project to Facebook. All Facebook albums appear in Aperture Facebook share as they should, showing the images shared with Facebook, but each image in a single album is broken. When Alternate clicking the album in question and selecting Visit album gets me to the Facebook album on the web where all the photos are in fact present and appear as they should in the Facebook album.
    Selecting "Syncronise album" on the particular album in Aperture's Facebook share seems to do nothing.
    Alternate click in the Facebook album i Aperture Facebook share and selecting "Settings" on the album and then Change settings shows an error message "The album XXXX cannot be syncronised because some versions are offline". To me every image are showing as offline even though all if the images is actually in the Faceook album in question.
    Why don't aperture just get the present Facebook images. What can I do to get the photos in the Aperture project and the Facebook album reconnected. Aperture -> File -> Locate Referenced Files are grayed out having selected every broken image in Aperture's Facebook share

    HI Rick,
    That is an odd one if you have the issue but other people viewing your podcast don't.
    If the issue only starts happening when you add new images to the published album I would consider a couple steps:
    1. Reset Safari - you may have a cached file floating about
    2. Remove ~/library/caches
    3. Remove ~/pictures/iphotolibrary/albumdata.xml
    4. Remove ~/library/preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist
    5. Publish again
    -- if all of the above resolves the issue then great, if not create a new iphoto library by holding down the option key while opening iphoto and see if the new library has the same issue...if it does then create a new user account on your comptuer and test it there.
    If it does not happen in the new library then follow kbase 107947 to rebuild your library.
    Hope that helps.
    Cheers!

  • HP Simple Save 2 TB External Hard Drive (3.5-inch, USB 2.0) Broken HELP!

    OK so I've searched around for a solution to my problem but have found no answer so I'm trying here.
    I've had my HP Simple Save 2 TB External Hard Drive for a few of years now, it's served me great, I used it for storing all my photos but the usb connector has snapped off from the small CD drive inside the casing.
    This has simply been through use, it was working fine, not wobbly or mistreated in any way, it must have just came to the end of it's life and now I can't hook it up to my computer to get the photos, I'm desperate to get them back, wedding photos, birthdays etc most of you must know how I'm feeling.
    So I looked up a few solutions, one was to buy a USB-to-IDE/SATA adapter and use that to connect to the computer, well it works as far as recognising that a device is connected but won't load the files or folders to view.
    As I've looked around apparently the small CD drive that's inside the case has software that my computer automatically loads? Now this is where I'm lost, how do I manage to get this to work?
    I'm almost at my wits end, as far as looking every single day on Amazon and eBay to buy a new one to transfer the CD drive onto the broken one to load it up and get my photos back, IF that would even work, I'm not sure.
    So if you have any suggestions/help please please get in touch, thanks.

    In case anyone it´s interested I restore the autorun.inf into the drive and the problem was that I put all the toshiba software into one folder to be more organized. As soon as I place it back again outside the folder (in the root of the hard drive). It grab the canvio image.

  • Adobe Muse Site Post/Broken File Image Links

    I posted my Adobe Muse site and it is riddled with broken image file links. The site isn't loading
    I was told the broken image files are due to naming the files with "periods" in the file
    name. I need to rename each file and replace it in Muse pages. If that is the case
    why did the site look fine when I was viewing in Adobe Business Catalyst posting?
    I'm super concerned that I may have to rebuild much of the site with new file name
    updates to broken image links.
    Anyone? Help is appreciated.

    Impossible to speculate without the URL for the site, or at minimum an example of the file names in question.
    Do you have files named starting with a period? That would be a problem for some hosting providers.

  • Images in RH Html are fuzzy; generated Help images are fine

    I am using RH 7.003.001. I have over 7000 files in my project. Recently the images in RoboHelp all appear fuzzy. They are fine in my generated project.
    I have 2 GB RAM and a 100 GB drive with 41 GB free. Disk Defragmentor says I do not need to defragment my disk.
    Anyone ever see this before? I have attached a sample image.

    Hi there
    I would examine the zoom setting of the editor. Sounds like it's something other than 100%.

  • Really need help - images showing up in dw and preview in browser but not once uploaded to server

    As the title says really, I made a site for my father and all
    was ok. I made some alterations to the site, some extra pages and
    images etc. The pages come up fine its just the images, i see them
    in dw and when I hit F12 to preview in a browser but once i sync'd
    the site and viewed the site online none of the new images have
    been uploaded.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated as im very new to dw
    only used is a few times so its probably a very silly but simple
    error ive made :)
    I know the site isnt great and ive probably done some strange

  • Broken PICT image support

    My users and I have noticed that PICT images with alpha channels are not being displayed properly after the update to QuickTime 7.4. The images neither display properly in the Finder preview nor in Preview itself. For me, this involves PICT image display in an application which utilizes QuickTime for image/video. The same improper display has cropped up here.
    Unfortunately, I cannot use another image format as the source application uses PICT images stored in resources or .rsr files. Is there any way to lodge a formal bug report with Apple concerning this situation?
    Cannot confirm, but this may be limited to Intel-based Macs.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    Just coming back to close this support topic.
    Well, with the help of a developer friend I was able to circumvent the QuickTime crapola support in lieu of a custom PICT reader. Apple is getting sloppy - QuickTime/iTunes issues, no true 64-bit MacOSX, no 64-bit Windows support. If this doesn't hurt Apple's computer market, I don't know what could. Projection: in about three to five years, the number of 64-bit Windows computers will easily be 10 times more than MacOSX computers - unless Apple acts soon this will spell their reentrance into the niche market.
    Thank me very much,
    Robert

  • IPhoto 6 - please help - images lost

    pls help if u can! i use iPhoto V6 and have 500 images that I have manipulated usign iPhoto where the original image may have been changed over time up to 10 times to render a new image - all saved correctly and filed under a sub system of changed images - this has been done over the previous 12 months
    however on booting up this week my thumbnails in each iPhoto folder show the correct image but on clicking to open the original image comes up
    i have never used the 'revert to original' tool - how has this happened?
    where are my final (changed images) sitting.....
    it looks like all images have reverted to their original when clicked on but this istn something I have manually done..

    Ben
    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    - all saved correctly and filed under a sub system of changed images -
    Could you explain what you mean by this please?
    If you go to the iPhoto library in your pictures folder and look (DO not move or change anything within the iPhoto library) at the originals folder and at the modified folder what do you see? The originals folder should contain the original photos and the modified folder the latest (One only) edited version

  • Help - Images Not Appearing

    I am having a problem with a new flash photography site that

    Give us some examples where it doesn't work, as in PC specs,

  • Please help - image viewer help needed

    hi
    can anyone plase help
    I am building a CSS site and want a simple image viewer -
    just one image viewing in a box with >> and << buttons

    I know that there are many add ons to deal with this but it
    is only a small function that I should be able to produce myself.
    Many Thanks

    If you're building a CSS site you might not want to use

  • Help - Images change in document after saving

    This issue has been plaguing be for a while and is quite frustrating. When I am working on a document for a scientific poster, I iwll get everything placed how I would like, then export it to PDF (where everything looks as I intend it to), but when I reopen pages to make additional edits some of the images have been changed to be a different random image in the document. This is extremely frustrating as the placing of figures and graphs in the poser is really time intensive, and every time it happens I have to start over. Other than this issue pages is great for working on these posters, but this issue is frequent enough, and a large enough annoyance that I am thinking of not using it any more.
    There is an old discussion chain where someone was having the same issue, but it was never resolved and is now archived so I cant add to that thread.
    Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. These files are quite large due to the size of the poser (about 36" x 48", and ~130mb) in case that helps.
    Thanks.

    You need to learn some basic techniques in Pages and OSX.
    1. When you drag an image onto a page it usually comes in as a floating object with wrap set, this causes text under to move so that it runs around the object. Usually this is what you want.
    2. In your case you should create "placeholders" which are dummy images in the correct place, size and style which are replaced when you drag an image from the finder onto them.
    Make a placeholder with an imagebox containing any graphic you like, set it up the way you want it with border, color, wrap, fit etc then:
    Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as media placeholder
    3. You can print just about anything to pdf from almost any application on OSX using the Print PDF button at the bottom left of the Print dialog box.
    4. Pages has a beautiful graph tool which works in conjunction with a mini spreads sheet in the document:
    Toolbar > Charts
    5. Pages also works very well with graphs produced in Numbers
    Download and read the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu.
    Also iWork '09 The Missing Manual is an excellent reference
