Error Adding Old MS SourceSafe Robohelp Project Back to SourceSafe

Hello fellow Robohelp Gurus!
I was hoping of you smart and brave souls could help me out
with a pending issue!
Basically, I have a Robohelp X5 Project I USE TO have in
sourcesafe. I removed it from Sourcesafe for several months, but
would like to re-add it now. Unfortunately, every time I try to add
the project to Sourcesafe, it gives me an ERROR!
The error reads: Failed to create database at C:\XXXXXX, and
refers to data\aaaaaaaa.cnt
Database Creation Failed.
What is the data folder and why is it referencing this
specific cnt file? Any luck or ways to bypass this? Can I simply
remove that file? Please advise, if possible!
Any assistance in this is greatly appreciated!

I am not familiar with Visual Source Safe but my xperience
with MS SQL Express might (or might not) help.
I use RoboHelp HTML 6 with RoboSource Control 3 and MS SQL
Express 2.5. At one point, my project froze. I could no longer
check files in or out. Many attempts to remove the project from
version control failed. I finally succeeded after I deleted a file
using Windows Explorer. I also deleted the database in MS SQL
Express. The result was that my project worked but I no longer had
version control.
Since things were working, I returned my project to version
control. Immediately, my project was frozen again. To me, it looked
like I was adding a new project to version control. However, my new
project had the same name as before and the same problem as before.
I tried removing and adding to version control two or three times
before giving up.
Having no other ideas and having nothing to lose, I renamed
my project before I returned it to version control. Amazingly
enough, this small change made a difference. The project now
worked, although, very slowly.
I searched the forum. There was a post about slow projects
and XPJ files. Apparently, an XPJ file is updated when a file is
deleted in RoboHelp. Since I manually deleted a file outside of
RoboHelp, an XPJ file hadn't been updated. XPJ files are text files
with a simple format that inventory various files in a directory. I
checked all of my XPJ files and found one that was out of sync with
the contents of that directory. I updated that XPJ file and the
project has been working at normal speed ever since.
Even though we are using different versions of RoboHelp, and
even though one of us uses Visual Source Safe while the other uses
MS SQL Express, the common thread is removing a project from
version control and later returning it to version control.

Get out of memory error when linking Frame doc to RoboHelp project

I just upgraded to TC Suite 5.
Now I'm trying to link FrameMaker files to my RoboHelp project. The FrameMaker files are from a document that was done in Frame 9 (TC Suite 3.5) and now has been converted to Frame 11. It's working fine in Frame 11. No errors when opening any of the files in Frame 11.
I created a new project in RH 11 and tried linking the FM files to it. Some work, but some bring on an Out of Memory message. Interestingly, one file that is 68MB worked fine, one file that's only 58MB brings that message.
I'm going to try using an Externalize Graphics addon that worked well with the old Frame--I can only hope it works with FM 11 now.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening, and any solutions besides externalizing the graphics and trying to reduce the file size?
Thanks.

I was finally able to get the files to work by opening and saving in FrameMaker numerous times.
Re: your questions. . . I did not try importing directly. I linked and then generated. Yes, the linking did work with RH9 from the TCS 3.5.

Thanks for your response.
I had tried COMMAND+ALT+R which led me to directly to INTERNET RECOVERY via wifi. After 1 hour or so it dropped me at the same point.
I've tried MIGRANT ASSISTANCE as well, it kept on LOOKING FOR OTHER COMPUTERS even though I clicked on TIME MACHINE BACK UP USING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
so what to do now?
P.S. Guys at MacStore were so careless to even listen to me when I asked them about retrieving back up :(
Please help

HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac. Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853? How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

According to:
Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

Adding a Loading Animation to a Captivate movie for use in a RoboHelp Project?

Hello all:
I'm inserting SWFs (built in Captivate 5) into Robohelp topics (using RoboHelp 9, publishing to WebHelp Pro output). These topics hold only the SWFs, so I've published the SWFs to autoplay when opened.
The problem is this: when I publish my RoboHelp project, my Captivate movies display as image icons (see screenshot). There is no loading animnation or screenshot to indicate that the Captivate movie works. If I wait a few seconds (variable, depending on file size of the SWF), the movie will appear and start to play. I'm concerned that my user will think the file is broken and leave the page.
How can I enable a loading animation (or even a loading image) to show my user that there is, in fact, content on the page when the topic loads? I'd like to keep the auto-play functionality, if possible.

The best option is to break out the words because it gives you the most control. However, if the two words you want to glow are next to each other you can use the Sequence Text behavior.
Select the text and apply Text Animation/Sequence Text to the layer. In the behaviors tab, click on the Add parameter and select Glow/Color. This will create a parameter that you can assign to a character, word, line or custom area.
Now you'll need to add several parameters so repeat the above step adding parameters for Glow/Opacity, Glow/Blur, and Glow/Radius. You might even want to change the color of the font for those two words. If so, add a parameter for Face/Color.
Once you have all the parameters added, change the Traversal parameter to Custom. Change the Select parameter to Custom. Use the Start parameter to determine the beginning of the "glow" area, and the End parameter to fix the end of it. Set the Spread to 0 so there is no spillage of the glow to the words on either side.
Now adjust the color, blur and radius of the glow just as you would if you were adding it to the entire paragraph.

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!

Converting RoboHelp project from v.4.1 to 8

I have problems with converting RoboHelp project created in
RoboHelp Office for Word version 4.1 into RoboHelp for Word version
8.
The project contains documents made in polish language.
Project opens fine in new version of RoboHelp, but during help
compilation to .chm file, I receive some errors. I found out, that
most of those errors are caused by polish characters in document
names. That's no problem - finaly I can modify it. However why it
was not problem in older version of RoboHelp ?
Real problem I have is with TOC - after compilation I don't
have any polish letters in topic names: they are changed for other
letters or characters.
I've made a little project (one simple document in polish
with few topics) in RoboHelp 8 with the same settings like in my
original old project - unfortunately after compilation I received
same errors with TOC.
I think that I missed something in project settings, but I
don't know what it may be. My other idea: RoboHelp doesn't support
polish language anymore :( because I don't see it in list File >
Project Settings > Language.
Please help me to solve this problem.

The information she provided was from QuickTime Player.
It would seem that the tapes were shot that way (for whatever reason).
She can try capturing the tapes again, maybe it will make a difference, maybe not.
A couple of things to try before starting to recapture:
Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 4.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
Open the project in Final Cut Pro. Go to the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup > NTSC DV > OK
Menu bar again: Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset > OK > OK.
The procedure above has reset FCP to it's default values and set the project for NTSC DV.
If the warning still appears, it is not an FCP problem.

Open a RoboHelp Project from within SharePoint 2010

Is it possible to place or store a robohelp source file project into SharePoint and open/share the source file as a collaborative project? I have individuals who would like this possibility so they can work in real time. I know robohelp has a collaborative process built in, but I wonder if working from within SharePoint can be done.
regards,

Share point can indeed be used as a collaborative tool. However each RoboHelp project is much more than a single file and Sharepoint can't handle whole directories to my knowledge. So you'd be faced with checking each individual project file out and back in. There would also be added complications if you used multiple projects. You really wouldn't want to go there. Stick to using a proper source control tool.

Error on imovie11: Unable to prepare project for publishing.

Error on imovie11: Unable to prepare project for publishing.
I badly need someone that is an extreme expert on Mac Pro and imovie11 and very good at troubleshooting. I have a critical project to get out and have serious problem. Mac store solutions did not work. Need a Pro that I can hire to come to my office in Raleigh NC.
Cleared the memory space on the drive, cleared the preferences.. critical problem. Love to find someone good to hire in the Raleigh NC area that come over and work on it.

Apple Store advice did not work.

Rocker-65 is correct, large, long and complex projects can have problems resulting in a Error-108. Sometimes cutting a Project up into pieces or just cutting into 2 can help. Easiest way to accomplish the cutting is to create a Duplicate Project. Then just cut Project 1 in half, saving the first part. Duplicate Project gets cut in half and contains the second part.
Then if you want to stitch them back together, export each project individually at 720p. Import each one BACK into a new Event Folder in iMovie and combine then in a new Project, export that.

Unable to load the 'C:\InetPub\robohelp\' project. The project is invalid.

We're having troubles opening/viewing our 'prepsmart' project
on our production server. (It works fine in our test environment).
I have tried re-installing RoboEngine 4.0, and successfully
re-generated and re-published the project to the server. However,
when I try to access the project using a url like:
http://<servername>:<port>/RoboAPI.asp?project=prepsmart&context=700,
it displays the message: "Contragulations The RoboEngine has been
successfully created. To get started using RoboEngine, you need to
publish a project. Please see the getting started guide or
deployment manual that corresponds to your authoring tool for more
information. "
I see the same screen if I click on "View Project" within the
RogoEngine Configuration Manager.
When I click the Troubleshoot icon in the Configuration
manager, it lists the following errors:
Unable to load the 'C:\InetPub\robohelp\' project. The
project is invalid.
Project prepsmart cannot be found.
Unable to locate the ' ' window.
Cannot find the list of projects.
If I specify a specific page (i.e.
http://denpiis01:8000/Robo/BIN/Robo.dll?tpc=/robo/projects/prepsmart/Getting_Started.htm),
it displays the help page. So, I
think the web site is configured and working OK.
Any ideas why I can successfully publish the project, but
RoboEngine can't find the project?
Thanks,
Greg

Hello Vipul Kumawat,
I saw a related thread from here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15246449/visual-studio-xaml-designer-not-getting-loaded
Their solution is related to fix corrupt Visual Studio.
So may I clarify the following:
1. What's your Visual Studio version?
2. Have you ever tried to repair Visual Studio from control panel first?
3. Can you reproduce this issue when access any other new projects? For example, Store App, WPF App, or even new simple Windows Phone app? What's the result if you use them?
Best regards,

Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

Hi,
I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Hi there
When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
Then note the version number.
You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.
Cheers... Rick

HT201412 my ipad will not open due to error massage: " This iPad hasn't been backed up. Back ups happen when this iPad is plugged in ( it is) , locked and connected. I have it connected to my iMac now.

I just traded my old iPad for a retina display. I keep getting error message: This iPad has not been backed up..etc." I have it plugged into my iMac and the photos did x-fer. I cannot however open the iPad. If I could get it open I could back it up. Any advice for this newb? Thanks and All the Bset, Kimberly D

Hi Kimberly,
Perform a Reset on the iPad (different from just restarting). Hold down on both the Sleep AND Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the issue.
Hope this fixes your issue!

Organizer 9 often gets error adding keyword

I spent more than a week evaluating Organizer 9 for my use by playing with a test catalog with several raw photos from various cameras I have. I tried everything I could think of and posted here a few times asking questions. Everything seemed to be working well. I also saw posts saying some people had 100k photos in Organizer. All looked good. I wanted to be fairly confident before importing my 50k out-of-camera original photos and then spending a lot of time on adding keywords and star ratings since I didn't want to waste all that time and work if Organizer would not be a good fit for what I want or didn't work well. All signals were go.
A few days ago I got started on the real catalog. I turned off all the analyze stuff since I don't need it and it was likely to just slow the computer down. I imported about 50k photos. I then started adding keywords. I first made a pass through all photos and assigned a keyword for each photo that had the country or U.S. state where the photo was taken. No problems.
I then started another pass through all the photos adding one or two more keywords to some of the photos. I have been having problems with this though. I often, but not always, get a pop-up window with a message from Organizer saying it got an error adding a keyword to a photo. I click Okay and then Organizer hangs for several seconds and down at the bottom left of the screen it says Searching. Finally Organizer comes back, but now the thumbnail view doesn't show all the photos -- it shows only a subset. I then click Show all and then spend a lot of time scrolling into the 50k photos and looking for where I left off before the error. I then try to assign the keyword to the photo again and get the error again. I click okay again. This time it also says Searching for a few seconds, but when Organizer is ready again this time the thumbnail view has not changed so that is good. I then add the keyword and this time it works. Whenever I get the error the exact same sequence happens exactly like this with no variations:
1. Error adding keyword
2. Long wait with Searching shown in the lower left
3. Thumbnail view changes
4. I click on Show all and scroll down to where I left off
5. Again try to assign the keyword
6, Error adding keyword again
7. Wait with Searching shown in the lower left
8. This time thumbnail view didn't get changed
9. Try to assign keyword again and this time it succeeds
By the way, the error window I get says: Error Applying Keyword Tag(s). It always is this same sequence. Much of the time I get no errors and then I will get one and go through the above sequence. I often can do a few more with no error and then an error again. It seems to be random. Sometimes it might happen 2 or 3 times in a row and sometimes it takes a long time until it happens again.
I repaired the catalog, but it said there were no errors. I also optimized the catalog. Remember that I have just imported the photos and have been adding keywords. I have not actually made much use of the catalog. I have not been deleting or anything else. Just import and add keywords.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Where are the photos stored?
Where is the catalog located?
Are you running Windows?
How many drives on your computer, and how much free space on each?
Which drive are you using for your PSE scratch disk?
Ken, thanks for your reply.
The photos are on a 1tb USB 2.0 external hd. The catalog is on my computer local C: drive. I am running Win7 64-bit. The C: drive has 151gb free. The external hd has 245gb free. The PSE scratch disk is the default since I haven't changed anything, I suppose that would be the C: drive.
Adding keywords to all photos on the first round worked without problem. Adding one or two additional keywords to some of the photos on my second round works most of the time, but maybe about 20% of the time I get the error. The error always goes away after the above lengthy, very annoying sequence though and I can continue.

Re: Error retrieving cache in c# WPF project (No problems in c# WinForms)

Originally resurrected a long-dead post from 2011 and attempted to hijack it away from the original poster,
Error retrieving cache in c# WPF project (No problems in c# WinForms)
but got my inquiry split away to let it stand on its own merits...
My question is:
Wondering if anyone could answer... The setup is the same (XP SP3, Coherence 3.7.1.0). GetValues(null) returns different number of values every time.
More information: the serialized type has just one string property X; push 40000 such items into cache, then making GetKeys(null) followed by GetValues(null) call with 1 sec interval (cache is pre-populated with 40000 items, no insertions/deletions happening):
Keys 40000, Values 20377.
Cache is just one storage enabled proxy with schema taken from Coherence example configuration.
I understand, calling GetValues with null argument is not the smartest thing to do, but the problem is that it affects the number of items returned by the GetValues with a filter passed...

Hi Thiago V Palmeir,
Thank you for your response.
Your problem seems to be about the list of projects in JDeveloper when there are many projects..
My problem is very different because I have only 3 projects in the application and the problem occurs when deploying to manually added Integrated Web Logic Installation with the domain that I created (not the DefaultDomain created by JDeveloper)..
In any case, I tried to delete system11.1.1.5.37.60.13, start JDeveloper, and it re-creates the folder. I then re-create the additional IntegratedWebLogic server instance in the application server navigator and try to run my application using that instance of integrated web logic.
The error still happens.

Arief
