Is there a limit on the length of the path when compiling HTML Help?

I"ve been pulling my hair out the last few days because I have a project that has been compiling just fine but when I created a branch in RoboSource and checked it out and tried to compile I get an Unexpected Microsoft HTML Compiler error. I've looked and looked to find what might be different. Today when reading posts, (thank you to everyone who posts problems and solutions here) I ran across something regarding referencing a file that is too deep in the tree. That made me think about the directory names. So, I changed the compile location to a higher place in the tree and it compiled.
Does anyone know if there is a limit on the path to where the .chm file is built and if so, what that limit is?
Thanks,
Nita

Hi Nita.
I'm not sure anyone has definitely found a limit although as you have found long paths can be an issue. I'd guess it is 255 characters as this figure pops up elsewhere. As a general rule I try and keep my project paths as short as possible, even abbreviating directory names where possible.

  • Display instantly the length of the text entered in the rich text editor

    Hi everybody,
    I'm developing an apex application with apex 4.1.1 and Oracle 11.2.
    I have a page in which I have a form that allows to create a new message on the database.
    A message has a title, description, text and date.
    For the text I use the item "rich editor text". The problem is that item doesn't show the length of characters entered (character counter for the textarea). In the database the corresponding column is varchar2(2000). What I do is a validation after submit that checks if the limit 2000 was exceeded or not.
    But what I want to do more is to display instantly the length of the text entered in the editor. I have tried to do that through a dynamic action. But the event "onChange" for the item "rich text editor" didn't work.
    Has anyone any idea about that issue?
    Thanks for helping.
    Kind regards,

    sorry about that, I missed that tidbit in your OP... well I think there is a good reason why there isn't a count character option -- due to the hidden "html" characters responsible for the "richness" (bold/color, etc) applied to the text would be difficult to count true characters.. if I was bent on doing this, I'd continue using the item you are using, but have a HIDDEN text area that is updated via javascript onkeyup for each keystroke (again, keeping in mind you'd have to filter certain keys) and then that intelligence could be used. I would probably dig through the javascript responsible for the rich text editor (is it still fckeditor??) -- there might already be code in there that isn't clearly visible to you that does this already.. alas, I see now the validity of your challenge.

  • The length of the recording and exporting truncated

    Hi there.
    It's my first venture into GarageBand. I have just a few questions.
    First, how can I tell the length of my recording without having to listen to the entire session? Dragging the indicator bar in the window to move it along takes a very long time, is there a quicker way to do this?
    Second, I have been exporting my files to iTunes to burn CD's. I am seeing that the file get's shortened in the process. It's not just a small clip, but rather edits out over 15 minutes on one file. Any thoughts? I called Apple and they knew nothing.

    To determine the length:
    - Switch the meter that shows bars and beats to minutes and seconds (by clicking on the clock icon).
    - Scroll to the end of the song.
    - Click into the timeline's ruler, and the cursor will be taken there, the meter showing the minutes and seconds.
    As for the export: Do you see the little purple triangle in the timeline, pointing to the left? That's your End of Song marker. Does it sit at the right position? If not, move it there and try exporting again. And since this little ******* is playing tricks sometimes, a more exact way of exporting is using the circle function and setting the circle section exactly from the beginning to the end of what you want to export.
    Oh, and by the way: How long is your recording? If it exceeds 999 bars, then GB will only export until bar 999, although your whole recording is still there.
    Come back and tell us what you found out!

  • How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

    How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

    Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
    See this iMovie Help topic:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
    You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
    Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

  • How to increase the length of the clock signals on NI8451

    I'm using NI8451 to read data from a linear technology ADC chip.
    Using a scope, I found the clock signal only lasts for one byte (8-bit) during the read/write process,
    ie. the clock signal is turned on for one byte period (8 clocks) and then is off for about 10-20us,
    after that, the clock is on again for next byte.
    Is there a way to change the length of the clock signal? In my case, I need about 96 clocks to flush out the ADC data.
    But it looks like NI8451 only can generate 8 clocks one time.
    Any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Hi JHXU, 
    Are you using SPI or I2C? 
    With SPI, essentially the clock stops toggling when there is no more data transmitted. You could try implementing a delay in your data transmission to ensure that the clock runs for time you require. However, to add a delay, you need to use the Advanced 845x SPI functions. In CVI, the command for adding a delay is 
    int32 ni845xSpiScriptDelay ( uInt32 ScriptHandle, uInt8 Delay );
    More information on the SPI Advanced API can be found in the NI-845x Help or in this tutorial. 
    With I2C, I think you would just need to toggle the clock line (SCL) high. There is also a delay function in the Advanced I2C functions that may allow you to do this.

  • How to fix the length of the output file

    hi,
    I have 1000 records in my source table which need to be inserted into file. But the length of the rows in my file should be only 500 i.e there should be two files getting created for this 1000 records i.e my each output file should contain only 500 rows not more than that.
    Depending on the number of records present in the source, the file getting created will be varying as my file should contain only 500 rows each. for ex: if 5000 rows are present then 10 files need to be created.
    How this can be achieved in ODI.

  • How to give the length , cardinality and format when creatin a data type?

    Hi,
    I am new to XI and i wish to know how to give the cardinality ,format and length when creating a data type .Also please let me know how to give the following?
    cardinality --repeating and required
                      non repeating , optional
    thanks and regards

    When you are defining the elements of the datatype there are columns where you can do what you need:
    <b>column type</b>: here you choose the type of data of the element
    it can be a standard type or a user defined one (if you click one time only it should appear an icon in the right for input help: click there and choose the type you need)
    <b>column occurence </b>: in a similar way of column type here you define the cardinality of the element (min occurence and max occurence)
    setting min occurrence: 1, max occurrence 1 or unbounded --> required
            mmin occurrence 0, max occurrence 0, 1 or unbounded --> optional
    about the attributes there are directly the choice between required or optional.
    <b> column details </b>: here you define the length of the  element if it is a string or a lot of other things if the type is a different one.
    I hope this will help you

  • How to reduce the length of the info object that's being used?

    Hi All,
    I have created info objects and used them in a DSO. Now I want to reduce the length of the info objects but i'm unable to do it. When I reduced the length and tried activating the Info object, it's giving me error and the info object is not getting activated. Please guide me how I can reduce the length and activate the Info Object.
    Thanks
    Hima Bindu

    Reducing the length of an infoobject is not that easy
    Cleanest way -
    Drop all transaction data for that infoobject
    Drop all data in the DSO and cubes.
    Reduce the length and then activate and transport all the infoobject and there dependence objects.

  • Changing animation frame rate when rendering in photoshop does not change the length of the video?

    I made a walk cycle animation in Photoshop CS6 and want to render it into a quicktime format. I'd like it to be 12 fps, but when I rendered it at 12 fps the video seemed to be missing frames, and the video was 3 seconds long. I have 98 frames to my animation; doing the math, at 12 fps it should be 8 seconds long. Not 3.
    I was confused and for curiosity's sake I rendered the video at 6 fps, trying to really slow it down. The video ended up being STILL 3 seconds long and only maybe 20 frames. I was missing literally 70 frames. I'm so upset with this rendering thing, I could chuck my computer at the wall.
    Does anybody know of a solution to this?
    edit: If it means anything, I've tried rendering it straight from the frame view and the timeline view. Each time I render it I have the timeline frame rate match the rendering frame rate as well.

    Changing animation frame rate when rendering in photoshop does not change the length of the video?
    Photoshop CS6 and CC support two types of animation Frame animations and a Video Timeline
    Changing the frame rate should not change the length of a video timeline. It should just change the number of frames that are rendered.  To change the length of a video you need to change the length of the video timeline.  If you increase the length of the timeline and there is audio I'm quite sure there will be a problem with it,  The Video part will most likely be better then the sound. The required number of extra frames can be generated however the video may look like slow motion. If you decrease the length the motion will speed up.  The length of a video is normally done be editing video clips which are trimmed and stitched together to get the desired duration. Not normally done by altering the duration of a clip.
    The duration a of Frame animation is the sum of the times each frame is displayed.  In a frame animation the length of time a frame is displayed can be varied it not a normal motion picture video.  To have a smooth frame animation you need a sufficient number of frames that are different from each other to show smooth motion.  You can use Photoshop Frame animation tween feature to have Photoshop manufacture frames to help with a smoothing the animation.   Once you have a frame animation the length with the motion you want you can have Photoshop convert it to a video timeline and render a normal motion picture video.  It will not have audio but you can add audio to it.
