Index Tab Be Gone! (How?)

I thought I had the sneaky way of doing this - by entering garbage on the window definition in Advanced Properties beside "Index:"  This hid the Index tab and I thought all was well but I was wrong.  It's fine until I do my on-the-fly topic swapping and then it goes crazy on me - see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/504223?tstart=0
Now, I figured out that that problem goes away IF I take out the garbage from the Advanced Properties, but of course my Index tab reappears.  I don't want it.  I have a custom button that is called Index that points to a topic which is our handmade Index.  Having both would be extremely confusing for the users.
So, how do I hide the Index tab?
My secondary dilemma is that I want Auto-syncronize TOC enabled in both chm files.  What I just noticed is that as soon as I swap topics, the Home and Index buttons point to the relative paths in the OTHER chm file and when pressed, the current chm can't find them.  Is there a format of path I can use that is sort of relative but sort of fixed at the same time so it won't get confused?  The chm files can be moved around to different directories but they will always be together as sibling files.  I feel like I've opened a bottomless can of worms.  (I know the perfect solution to this would have been one chm with conditional tags per language but we had to convert from existing .hpj projects and had no time to merge everything manually for that solution.)
Any suggestions?

Aha.  I deleted the .hhk and then noticed that RH automatically created a brand new one.  At least it's smart enough to realize that if the file is empty, don't show the Index.  I recompiled and it disappeared - perfect, thank you   (The default search still seems to work fine - we have Advanced Search turned off.)
Now, that leaves my other issue with the Custom Buttons and the Home button.  I'm shooting in the dark at the moment looking for a url format that I can use to be relative yet include the destination chm name along with the topic.
Setup:
CHM English - Home points to HomeEnglish.htm, Custom Button 1 points to IndexEnglish.htm, TopicEnglish has hyperlink to TopicFrench.
CHM French - Home points to HomeFrench.htm, Custom Button 1 points to IndexFrench.htm, TopicFrench has hyperlink to TopicEnglish.
In CHM English, I navigate to TopicEnglish, click the hyperlink which opens TopicFrench within the CHM English content frame, then press either Home or Custom Button 1.  It tries to go to HomeFrench.htm or TopicFrench.htm but in the CHM English.  How do I tell it which chm to look at?
(I've tried with Auto-synchronize TOC on and off - no difference in behaviour.)

  • After I tried using groups, the "new tab" button that usually appears beside the tabs is gone: How do I get it back?

    I clicked the Tab Groups feature and was using that for a while, but then I noticed that the button that is usally beside my open tabs (it looks like a plus symbol) is no longer there. I guess I can just use ctrl+t, but sometimes I want to use my mouse instead and the button was handy before it disappeared on me.

  • App tabs will not save. when close then open ff, the app tabs are gone. how do I save them?

    Every time i set up some app tabs, they disappear when I close ff. So upon reopen, have to set them up again, just to disappear again when i close ff. I thought once setup, they stay until deleted. Am I wrong on this? If they are supposed to show up after closing, it is not working on my pc. Running windows xp service pack 3.

    The add-on "app-tab initializer" 0.2 fixed it for me. You define your preferred app tabs and it opens them each time firefox is launched.

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    If that is correct, updating your system software may help the Safari toolbar issue.
    Click Software Update from your Apple menu OR open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
    Restart your Mac after the updates are installed then try Safari.
    If your software is actually up to date, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
    If you have any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If the address bar reappears, uninstall one extension at a time, quit and reluanch Safari to test until you find the one that's blocking the address bar.

  • How to hide Job index tab in PPOME

    Guys,
    Pls advise how to hide Job index tab in PPOME.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The job index tab page is IT0783. You can check this through transaction OOFRAMEWORKCUST. In the same transaction, double click on u201CTab Page in Scenario for each Object Typeu201D folder under u201CScenario Definition (Hierarchy Framework)u201D in the left column. The scenario for PPOME is OME0. Look for the entry for OME0 and tab page IT0783 and check the u201Cdo not displayu201D box the last column.
    Hope this helps.
    p.s. Please search the forum on this topic. There are plenty of threads on PPOME tab page customization.

  • How can I get the Index tabs to show for each page that is open in the window like on the older versions. I close a window and it says I have tabs open but the tabs are not visible. How do I set it like the older versions? This was easy to manage

    The index tabs were on some kind of toolbar just below the bookmark toolbar and you could see what was open in multiple tabs. I'm not referring to rolling over the Firefox icon for the Windows 7 thing, that's a pain. These index tabs were in plain sight. No matter what I try in Firefox 8, they won't appear.

    the tabs were move to above the navigation bar, where the menu bar was. They hardly look like tabs there, but you may have turned off the tabs bars. View (Alt>V) > Toolbars > Tabs Bar
    I think the solutions would really prefer though would be
    You can make '''Firefox 8.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • Java.lang.NullPointerException in 'Examine Account index' Tab

    When I open a ressource in the Examine Account index Tab I get the error message 'java.lang.NullPointerException' within a message window.
    Is there a Bug withing IDM?

    There is, It may or may not apply to your case.
    Bug#4252: Recon confused by account names only differing in case.
    description
    On resources where account names are case-sensitive, it is possible to have two accounts which are identical except for case differences. When this happens recon will effectively not see the instances beyond the first of the matching accounts.
    /description
    There must be other ways for the index to get messed up, I am seeing the same error and we're using a numeric value as our account name so this can't be it. You are supposed to be able to delete the account index and it will be recreated at your next FULL reconcile. I haven't tried this yet so your mileage may vary but it looks relitavely safe.
    I got this recomendation in a response to my ticket for the same problem I hate to pass on a solution I haven't had the opportunity to try yet (we use password sync so I can't afford to have my accounts unliked during the week.)
    3.3 My best guess is that there's a problem with one of the account
    index records. I would suggest:
    3.3.1 Save the current account index (lh console; export Account.xml
    Account)
    Note 1: I wouldn't suggest the "-v" ... there are almost certainly a
    huge number of accounts and this will only slow down the execution
    Note 2: This could produce 1-2 G of data (or more, depending on how
    many account objects)
    Note 3: This export could take a LONG TIME ... depending on size.
    This can be done while IdM is running.
    Note 4: This export isn't strictly necessary, deleting the account
    index is a safe operation ... meaning recon will rebuild it as
    necessary
    3.3.2 Run a full reconciliation to rebuild the account index

  • Character display issue in French Web index tab

    First of all, I'm working with RoboHelp 8.
    There is a character display issue in the index tab of the web help. (See screenshot below)
    The apostrophe, instead of displaying by itself, it has a backslash just before it: \'
    In the hhk file, I started using the actual apostrophe ('), then replaced it with &#39; and finally tried &apos;
    (The htm files use utf-8 encoding). None of those options seemed to solve the issue.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for a very quick response. The problem is that the Title (name of the image filename is also the item number in Quote) and this is always not null. I am not sure how do I test whether the image is present in $OA_MEDIA directory or not. Does BI Publisher provide a way to find out whether an image filename exists in $OA_MEDIA or not.
    If there is no such standard way provided by BI Publsher, then I guess I will have to write Java function that executes in the middle tier and returns whether file exists with that name in $OA_MEDIA.
    Please let me know your view.
    Thanks

  • What Help Viewer Component Enables Index tab?

    A customer of ours has a problem with any .chm help file not displaying their index contents properly (showing up as blank). In our app, we have a Help | Help Index menu item that opens up our .chm's index tab. This ends up crashing the entire application.
    Similarly, accessing the help file directly in Windows Explorer (outside of our application) works fine until he goes to the chm's Index tab in which case the HelpViewer crashes.
    Another similar symptom: sometimes the Index tab's contents will be blank and then a crash occurs when he attempts to close the help viewer.
    The index tab problems are not unique to our help files however. So I think there's likely some Windows component missing on his system that makes any .chm file with an index tab display a blank tab or causes crashes.
    Error Messages consistently mention a problem with:
    ModName: itircl.dll
    (Sorry rest of the message is in Swedish)
    Has anyone heard of this problem and know how to fix it? Should customer just re-register the .dll? Or is something else needed?

    Hi there
    There are several DLLs that sometimes become corrupt or get clobbered. I think you would be well advised to download MJs Diags from the link below:

  • Index tab appearing, but no entries are in it.

    Hello,
    I am using the RoboHelp 6 trial version. I created an index,
    and it appears when I generate the WebHelp and view it locally
    within RoboHelp. however, I published it to the web, and the index
    tab is there, but has nothing in it. What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks!
    Jennifer Bennett

    Has everything in the local output been published? How did
    you publish to the server?
    Also how many topics in this project?

  • Index Tab control in chm in RH7

    Can I turn off just the Index tab in RH7?
    How do I open the Windows Properties dialog box in RH7?
    I am testing upgrading from rh2002 html to rh7.
    rh7 help says there should be windows properties dialog box,
    similar to the one in rh2002, where there is the TOC&Index
    check box, but help doesn't tell you how to open it. The dialog is
    no longer accessible via Project Settings. And if I can find this
    dialog, is there a way to turn off just the Index tab?
    thanks for your help.
    JoeC

    Greetings.
    I have tried to follow the instructions here for generating
    an HTML Help CHM using RH7. I can generate a help file without a
    TOC and without an Index. What I would like to do is generate a
    help file with a TOC but without an Index, without removing all of
    the indexed terms.
    I was able to turn off the TOC and Index tabs by deselecting
    TOC & Index under Tri-pan Tabs and Windows in the Window
    Properties (HTML Help) dialog. I want to keep the Index, though. I
    have not found a way to do this.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Index tab not displaying in RoboHelp HTML

    I'm using Robohelp HTML version 8.
    When viewing a topic properties, the General and Advanced tabs are displayed, but I haven't found how to display the Index tab in this version.
    Is this option not available in version 8?
    Regards,

    Hi Cecil27 and welcome to the RH community.
    Are you only seeing those two tabs? You should be seeing others as well (e.g. Status, File, See Also). Also where is your project located? If it is on a network drive, move it to a local drive and see if the problem still occurs.

    Hello.I ve accidentally deleted one of my folder in my tabs in safari.How can i retrieve it.Regards.

    Ah, they are Bookmarks, not Tabs...
    They are stored in ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist. 
    To get to the library folder you need to hold the Opt key while hitting Go in the drop down menu in Finder. 
    To keep the library visible, run this command in Terminal
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    I see an item called "Last session.plist" which may still contain your's, but probably they are gone for good.  I suggest some backup strategy in future, Time Machine or a clone. 
    Also make an archive copy of your bookmarks, by going to File>Export Bookmarks, an save it somewhere safe.  (I do this for my Contacts and Calendars too, and keep them in a backup folder).
