Edge project folder outside generated html folder?

I use svn and simple build scripts to deploy, and having to ignore this file complicates my deployment. Plus, it's just messy in general.

There's really nothing to look at. When I was talking to Adobe, I realized that the .an file is showing a file size of zero bytes, so as far as I can tell, the project erased itself when I was saving and restarting. When I open the html file in Edge, it looks like a brand new file - there aren't any elements, symbols, actions or anything. Blank canvas.
Before I left work yesterday, I altered the html file by adding a header and footer div above and below the <div id="stage"> code. The page was running fine in my browser with those divs intact, and the .an file appeared to be saving just fine. Can adding that code have corrupted it somehow? Seems really odd to me that it would totally wipe all the associated files. But if that's an issue, then I need to find another way to build my full page around the edge file.
Thanks for trying to help.

Rh10 - HTML Help - linking to pdf shows when generate CHM and 'view results' but not when double-click on CHM in project folder or in product help

I have several PDFs in Baggage Files that are linked to topics in the Table of Contents. When I generate the CHM file and 'View Results' I am able to pull up/access the PDFs with no problem. When I go into the project folder and just double-click on the CHM file, I cannot pull up/access any of the PDFs nor can I access them in the product help. Any ideas? Is a setting "off" somewhere in my project?
I am using RoboHelp 10.
Thanks!

Thanks for the idea, but I can't switch the project to WebHelp. This .chm project consists of a master project with 18 slave projects and a slew of remote jumps. I'd have to recreate all of the remote jumps if I switch to WebHelp.
Hopefully Adobe can fix this issue.
Well, first off, even though it would be WebHelp, it would be inside a CHM container. So for all intents and purposes it would be a CHM file. But having said that, I'm not sure there is a way to merge these hybrid types of CHM files.
If your statement about Adobe fixing the issue is meaning that they can either remove the Print icon from the CHM Viewer, I wouldn't hold my breath because as I said, that's in Microsoft's lap and they haven't updated the CHM viewer in a long while. Doubtful they ever will.
The only hope would then be for Adobe to update the code used for the Mini TOC. The only way that will happen is if enough folks submit this as a bug via the following link:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
Until that would happen, your likely best bet is to simply avoid using the Mini-TOC feature or just insert a warning that if the topic is printed, it will cause issues. Or, you could use bookmarks and links to establish your own verision of a "Mini-TOC"

How to reference a folder/file outside from project folder

Hi All,
I have two extensions which wants to share some code(files) placed in a folder outside from source directory.
for a simple case see the below example.
created a sample extension HelloWorld whose project structure are as follows
HelloWorld
     ExtensionContents
          lib/CSInterface-4.0.0.js
          jsx/InDesign.jsx
          HelloWorld.jsx
          index.html.
I have another folder say "sharedAssets" it contains two images "Orange.gif and pear.gif" which is at same location where HelloWorld and now folder structure becomes
HelloWorld > ExtensionContents
sharedAssets > Orange.gif
                         pear.gif
I have added linked resource folder see the attached screenshot
I have written following line of codes in index.html
<body onLoad="onLoaded()">
<div id="content">
<ul>
<li><img src="Orange.gif" width="42" height="42"/></li>
<li><img src="shared/pear.gif"/></li>
</ul>
</div></body>
but when I opened the extension then it failed to load Orange.gif and pear.gif,
Please let me know how I could reference an image placed in a folder outside from project folder.
Regards,
Alam

Hi Alam,
I don't use Eclipse / EB myself so I can be of no help in the way you set an alternate location folder there.
I've looked in the MXI reference but it seems there's no token equivalent to the "parent folder of all extensions" i.e.
/Users/Davide/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions
or whatever it will be in the future. This is where Extension Manager puts stuff when the MXI is something like:
<file   source="HTML/com.example.helloworld.zxp"
        destination=""
        file-type="CSXS"
        products="Photoshop,Photoshop32,Photoshop64"
        minVersion="14.0" />
that is, destination is blank, file-type is "CSXS".
I've never tried to put there stuff other than ZXP - you can give it a try.
An alternative escamotage could be to use an external folder, which path token exists both in MXI land *and* in (CSInterface or ExtendScript).
That is, a place Extension Manager installs your shared content; which path can be reached from the panel or the JSX.
As an example $userdatafolder/alam/shared in MXI, and Folder.userData/alam/shared in JSX, or SystemPath.USER_DATA/alam/shared in JS.
There are other product specific tokens (Photoshop Script folder for instance) where you can put things into.

Reference source files outside project folder

My company wants to create one large help project. However we don't want all the HTML source files to be stored in that project. We want to store these files in another folder outside of the project. I'll try to simplify the situation.
I created a "RH Test Project 1" with a topic called "Welcome." When you look in Windows Explorer in the RH Test Project 1 folder, you'll see all of the files RH creates (.xpj, cpd, hhk, hhc, etc.). The "Welcome.htm" file is also in the RH Test Project 1 folder.
I actually want this "Welcome.htm" file to reside in a folder I created called "RH Test Project src." If I copy the Welcome.htm file to my new src folder, my project contains a broken link, as expected. I don't want to import the welcome.htm file because that creates a copy that goes right back into the RH Test Project 1 folder (essentially I would have a "Welcome.htm" file in RH Test Project 1 and RH Test Project src folders). All I want to do is to be able to reference the Welcome.htm file. I want to be able to edit and work with this file in RoboHelp but I don't want it to reside in my project folder. I want it to reside outside the folder.
Desired structure:
RH1 Project
-- RH1.xpj
RH2 Project
-- RH2.xpj
Source Folder
-- Subfolder 1
-- Welcome1.htm ( I don't want either welcome.htm topics to be in the RH1 Project or RH2 Project file structures)
--Subfolder 2
-- Welcome2.htm

Rick,
The scenario at hand is to have a single set of source documents that can be bundled either as one large project or many smaller projects. The issue with putting everything in one location (sub folder) is that there are over 25,000 topics to deal with and scrolling through them and managing them, as well as the performance when opening RH, is problematic. What we as developers are trying to do is model the RH solution after the Microsoft Visual Studio paradigm where the source files are all included in a project, yet come from different locations. If I get a tax break for having a house with an address in Arizona yet built in Florida, why not build it there? It seems to work quite well with boats registered in Delaware but not anywhere close to that state!!
Suppose I have the simple case of three projects I need to deploy separately for one client, yet as a single output for another? The file structure we’d want would be:
C:\RH\Project1
C:\RH\Project2
C:\RH\Project3
C:\RH\Project_ALL
C:\RH\SOURCE
Based on current understanding, you are telling me that I need to have
C:\RH\Project1
C:\RH\Project1\Source
C:\RH\Project2
C:\RH\Project2\Source
C:\RH\Project3
C:\RH\Project3\Source
C:\RH\Project_ALL
C:\RH\Project_ALL\Project1\Source
C:\RH\Project_ALL\Project2\Source
C:\RH\Project_ALL\Project3\Source
This means I need to manipulate changes to a file in multiple locations rather than sharing the source. If this is indeed what needs to be done we can manage that using symbolic links and images of the files, but in this case our file structure goes from 25,000 files to well over 150,000 as we have 7 projects we support.
It just seems to be a ridiculous limitation that source must reside under a project rather than in a set location as every other development tool we use (InstallShield, Microsoft Visual Studio, HP Mercury, et al) can handle this.
That being said, your time and input is appreciated.

Edge project won't open. HTML file is empty. HELP!!

I've been working on a project for nearly a month now and when I opened the .an file today it says it can't fine the associated html file even thought it's in the same folder. So I opened the html file in my text editor and it's BLANK. All the code is gone. Same for the edge.js and edgeActions.js files. I can try and piece together the html file from other test files I have, but the stage class (EDGE-205613315) is dynamically generated I assume. So I couldn't just come up with that.
Anybody have a way to get the .an file to rebuild the html and js?
Please??

There's really nothing to look at. When I was talking to Adobe, I realized that the .an file is showing a file size of zero bytes, so as far as I can tell, the project erased itself when I was saving and restarting.

Search functionality no longer works in any of my recently generated HTML Help projects

I'm using Rh 10.0.1.292 and Rh 11.0.4.291 for different projects.
Recently, I've noticed that the Search feature returns no results, in any of my projects that are generated in either Rh10 or 11. I just get the "No topics found" message. This used to work.
The only thing that has been done recently (that I can think of) involved working with .slp files to fix an issue with the Glossary tab and the Search functionality in a Rh 11 Responsive HTML5 layout. (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1690579) I can't, however, see how that would break the Search functionality in my HTML projects.
Any ideas?

In either Rh 10 and 11, whenever I generated a project as HTML Help (even an example project) the Search functionality was broken. Finally, when I couldn't think of what else to try, I uninstalled and reinstalled Rh 10, and that solved my problem--in both Rh 10 and 11!
Apparently some file was corrupted, but I don't know what was broken or what caused the corruption. I am still trying to get some clarification from Adobe, but so far, I have only received the following comments:
The robohelp cache folder and the preferences might have caused this.
The problem can be either with the updates on system.
If I should receive any definitive information, I will update this post.
Thanks.

Robohelp 9 - Entire project folder of articles not publishing in Webhelp

This is a little convoluted.
I am running Adobe Robohelp 9.0.2. I have a project that has been working well until today. The HTML files are divided into folders. I added a simple snippet to one article in each folder. I published to Webhelp.
At first, I noticed that all the articles in one folder (which start with the same name [IACH]) are missing from search results. All other files in the project itself are working in search without difficulty, but this one entire folder was missing from search, but ALL of the articles from that folder were available via the Table of Contents. I also noticed that the snippet wasn't publishing on the one article in that folder that I'd put it on - though it appears in the article in Robohelp. At that point, I toggled to the Snippets module and my snippet list is blank. Though the snippet files are still in the actual project folder, they don't appear in the module anymore.
I thought that the snippet being on that one article might be the issue, so I converted it to HTML text and published again. Now? Now all the file names appear in the ToC, but I can't open any of them AND they still don't appear in search.
It looks like somehow this one, single sentence snippet has done severe damage to my project.
Any ideas?

All very weird but I doubt your project is broken. I see no connection between adding a snippet and search going awry.
First you can simply right click in the Snippet pod and import the snippet back into the project.
Then I would close Rh and trash the CPD file. Reopen the project and regenerate the help making sure you hadn't accidentally changed anything in the Search settings.

Help saving a .txt file to Netbeans Project Folder

I'm a newbie and need some help doing this. The program simply won't read it from outside of Netbeans apparently... it makes since, but I'm still miffed. Anyhow... any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated... this is my first programming class and I'm really nervous about this not working.
Here is the code that I have so far, please let me know if you see anything that would not let it read in addition to the not being saved correctly part.
import java.io.*;
public class assignment3{
public static void main(String[] args) {
String fileName = "customer.txt";
try {
FileReader fr = new FileReader(fileName);
BufferedReader bfr = new BufferedReader(fr);
for (;;){
String line = bfr.readLine();
if (line == null) {
break;
System.out.println(line);
fr.close();
}catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Could not read from file:"+ fileName);
Thanks,
goodgirlSLCL

Another post that's got nothing to do with EJBs ;-)
The filename ("customer.txt") is relative to the NetBeans project folder. If you want it to read another file, elsewhere on the disk, you need to specify the absolute path to it. For example "C:/Documents and Settings/etc/etc/etc/".

Set Default Project Folder?

Whenever I create a new project, Encore CS5 (Windows) keeps trying to stuff my project under my user documents folder (which I never do). This is very irritating. I looked everywhere, but couldn't find how to reset this default. How do you reset the default Encore project folder?

Drag drop photo import to aperture folder why auto new project folder appear .

i do import photos from desktop to folder that i want in the aperture libary . as soon as i drag and drop photos automatically new peoject folder appear in the libabry as name untitled project.. why? i dont want that new project folder. i try to delete that folder and my picture all automatically deleted from library.
also if i try to delete photos from preject folder .. it completely deleted from master library .. picture will be lost.. why?
i drag and move pictures to brand new album or folder .. then try to delete wanted project folder - master picture are all gone.
now i have at least 30-40 of untitled project folder in the library ... pictrure are not movable i meant you can move but u still have to keep old project folder to avoid master picture can not be deleted ...
someone help me? did i make myself clear?

You might read the manual or the Help as this is all covered there.
If you want to import to a specific project use the File -> Import option. You can select your destination there.
Every photo in a Library is in a project. Projects are the basic building block of the Library. That's why.
Folders don't contain photos. They can contain Projects or Albums. These contain photos. Albums don't contain the actual photos, just links to them. So if you add a photo to an Album and then delete the project... you delete the photo.
Remember: you don't move photos to an Album, you add them.

How do I upload the entire Edge Animate folder to the cloud?

How do I upload the entire Edge Animate folder to the cloud?

Hi there,
Are you talking about the Creative Cloud? If so, you can compress the Edge Animate files into one folder as a .zip file, and then upload the entire .zip file by clicking the Upload button on Creative Cloud:
I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further clarification! : )

OSB : How can we copy actions from one project folder to other projects?

How can we copy actions from one project folder to other projects in OSB?
For eg:
I have a service call out action in Project1/proxySer1
I want to copy this to Project2/proxySer2.
Espicially, in our case error handling callout is common to all of our projects and we should be able to copy from one to another.
Edited by: user10367892 on Aug 20, 2009 12:28 PM

Thank you for the reply.
It was my fault. I was on two different servers, while i was doing this and so didn't work. But copy /past action works as you suggested.
Can I select multiple actions from one stage and paste to different proxy service? I have too many options to copy/paste and hence I have this question.
Is there any other way of copying all selected actions in one stage to another, but not the complete stage itselft?

I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot go back to the project at all.

If you are using 10.0.3 or above Apple added a backups folder that for a little extra protection in cases like this. If you quite FCPX go to your Final Cut Pro Projects folder. Find the folder that has the project in question. If it has a backups folder there should be a file with a date stamp and .fcpproject extention, that is your back-up. Just move the back-up from that folder one folder up to the place where you deleted CurrentVersion.fcpproject from. When I have had to do this I haven't renamed the backup but some people to recomend that you rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject and it seems to work both ways. Ofcourse it wont work if there is already a CurrenVersion file there you will need to delete that one first.
If you don't have the backups folder or there is nothing in it I am not sure if there is anything that can be done.

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

IMovie '11 How do I recover a project that appears within the IMovie Projects folder but does not show in the Project Library?

I have had my MBP for just over 3 months now! Yes, I made the switch and up until now I have been quite happy.
I now have my Time Capsule, Apple TV running and am generally getting used to life as a Mac user.............even bought Aperture and loaded all the family photos. Now time to make some Travel movies.
I have been working on a particular IMovie project for a few weeks now. Size is 365MB. Yesterday I closed IMovie and when accessing later that project is not available in the Project Library window. It does appear in the IMovie Projects folder but I cannot open it. I have copied the file to DVD just in case. All up I have 4 Projects, the other 3 are practice files, smaller but they do appear in the Project Library.
I have scoured the bulletin boards and tried many suggested fixes to no avail. Main suggestion was to remove the following files from Library/Preferences
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
com.apple.iApps.plist
However, this did not sort out my problem. In the end I put back the original files.
Does anyone have a straightforward fix for my problem or is this one of those ongoing issues that that needs Apple's attention.
After all the file is there with the others. They are available.
I realise that I can restore from Time Capsule but I am missing the last three days thanks to 'drop out'.
Thanks.......

Yes, considering we have an ongoing 'glich' within an Apple program with no obvious solution, we should be able to direct it straight to an Apple rep. I will peruse this possibility when I get a moment.
You can report the problem by providing feedback to Apple. In the iMovie app, from the menu select iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback. This will take you to an Apple page where you can complete a form and submit it to Apple.
The fix for this will probably turn out to be simple/easy.....................so why doesn't Apple comment and/or address it????
Other than the forum moderators, Apple doesn't normally monitor these forums, nor make comments on posts. So, it's up to us to report the problem to them directly (using the feedback form mentioned above).
As the problem has affected me just the one time (touch wood), I haven't bothered to report it as yet. But, after seeing your posts on this, I'm now reconsidering that. Something must be triggering it. My system is in pretty good shape, so I'm guessing it must be a glitch of some sort, either in Mountain Lion or in the iMovie app itself. Perhaps it's a 3rd party app causing the problem? It doesn't give us much confidence now, in that we may start worrying about losing other projects.
A good practice is to duplicate the project from time to time (something I'll be doing more of), although Time Machine backups also provide the necessary security. To duplicate, in Project Library view (where all the projects are listed) click on the project name so that it is highlighted, then select File > Duplicate Project. Alternatively, right-click (or Control-click) on the project name and select Duplicate Project from the pop-up menu. Of course, you may already know this. Duplicating probably won't guarantee that the copy will not also disappear from the Project Library, but is worth doing anyway.
As I mentioned in the post I linked to earlier, when the problem arose with my iMovie project I was using ProRes 422 clips I had imported from a Final Cut Pro X Event. My immediate thought was that ProRes 422 had caused the problem. But this of course may have been coincidental - reinforced now by your experience, where you are probably working with Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) clips.
Anyway, glad to hear that you've recovered your project through Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had to start from scratch as I had Time Machine turned off during my editing sessions (that's a story for another day).
