Legacy project vs new browsers

Hi all, I have one client project for whom we still use TCS1, for updates about twice a year. This is the only client we use it for, so we have never upgraded. We do have a copy of RH10 standalone, but otherwise we have been increasingly using Flare (I am the lone hold-out, I like RH).
So the client has just observed that the webhelp cannot be viewed in Chrome, and I confirmed that that was a known issue. I suggested that HTML5 might be a better output for newer browsers/versions, so the options would be to upgrade to the current TCS ($1200 the boss is not anxious to absorb for one client), or convert the project to Flare (which might be a better solution to use Lingo for translation). The client is reluctant to switch to HTML5 because some clients still use older browsers, e.g. IE8, that don't fully support HTML5.
I also just discovered that the current help files don't work in IE10 (topic pane is blank). I know RH10 and 11 have a fix for this. So I had the brainwave to upgrade the RH project, after conversion into RH8 via TCS, to RH10, so that the webhelp *should* work in all browsers/versions.
Unfortunately, RH10 would not comply. First I got the message "Error in reading RHFrameStyleMappings.apj file", followed by "Open project was cancelled or the application was unable to load database for <cpd filename>". I deleted the cpd file, and then the apj file, but got the same messages.
Do you see any way to get Webhelp that works in older and newer browsers, using the tools I currently have?
I appreciate any input,
Laurie

Thanks, Willam, I'll try that. The immediate concern has been alleviated, as the developer has confirmed that they are able to open the existing help files, as created with TCS1, in IE10 without any problem. They didn't work for me on the test site I had access to, but confirmed they worked on a different site. He told me he had to make the following change to the webserver:
"What happens is helpfiles uses xml files that were blocked by the application’s web.config file via this line…
<add name="xml" verb="*" path="*.xml" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler" />
I had to change it to…
<add name="xml" verb="*" path="model.xml" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler" />"
So we are ok for now, but I think a tool change is inevitable. Based on internal discussions, the consensus is that if the client is determined to continue requiring a PDF, we should upgrade to TCS, because it was felt that Word would choke on an almost 500-page output en route to generating the PDF. However, if they are willing to drop the PDF, and are serious about getting into translation, Flare/Lingo might be the better route.

  • Enable AppXRay on a legacy project with unconventional directory structure

    I've got a legacy project. My first need is to do remote debugging of JSPs (application will be deployed on an app. server on a remote server).
    I imported the existing project into Eclipse/Workshop Studio. When I try to enable AppXRay it popups a Folder Mappings dialog and asks for a folder in the project that corresponds to the '/' URI.
    Here's what my directory structure looks like:
    project/
    --conf/
    ----web.xml
    --htdocs/
    ----index.jsp
    There is no WEB-INF/web.xml in the directory structure. The .war gets built by the Ant war command and just includes the web.xml from the conf/ dir.
    If I choose the conf/ dir or the htdocs/ dir I get a warning that information related to web.xml will be missing fron AppXRay.
    How do I get Workshop Studio to work in this situation?
    As part of the Ant build I can add directories to the existing structure that mimic the structure of the .war that gets deployed if that will make Workshop Studio happy, but I cannot modify the existing directory structure significantly.
    Thanks.

    The WFM feature was implemented to support the project structure similar to yours.
    Try the following steps to configure the project in Studio:
    - The folder mapping for your project would be
    project/htdocs => "/"
    project/conf => "/WEB-INF"The "/" mapping will be your WebAppFolder (the folder containing web artifacts, like jsps, html...) and "/WEB-INF" would be the web configuration (containing web.xml and/or struts/jsf ... configuration filer).

  • Problem with Export Project as New Library

    Getting some behavior from Aperture that I do not understand.
    I am running Aperture 3.5.1 on OSX 10.9.1 on both a MacPro and a MacBookPro(Retina). 
    Both machines are believed to be completely up-to-date software-wise (no indication in App store that software updates are available.  i don't know how else to look.).
    I imported (Nikon D800) raw images from an SD card to MacBookPro Aperture Library (which contains few images), performed adjustments (and "shared" some with my SmugMug account).
    Then I selected the Project that contained my images, chose File, Export, Project as New Library (in order to move the adjusted images to my MacPro, where my "real" Aperture Library resides).  (first time i have attempted such a workflow).  I selected all 3 options (Copy originals . . ., Copy previews . . ., Show alert) and clicked Export Library.
    I copied the resulting file to my MacPro.  After choosing File, Import, Library (in Aperture on the MacPro), I see it "Merging", and then the project in question appears in the Library on the MacPro.
    The problem is that each image has a message at the top of the Adjustments pane:  "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing", and they all come into the receiving library with no adjustments, and no previews - not even the built-in preview that a raw file should carry (the images show in the viewer as _really_ flat, gray - very strange, i have never seen this appearance before, though I routeinely use raw format).
    Trying to troubleshoot, I went back to the MacBookPro and closed Aperture, then double-clicked the Library on the desktop that had resulted from the export process (containing only one project).
    Same situation.  All of the images think they were processed on older raw processor (even though this library is being opened on the same computer that did the processing).
    Any ideas?  Is this a bug, or have I misunderstood the point of exporting Projects?

    There have been two problems, reported, when exporting projects as library:
    In earlier versions of Aperture the exported library did not include all images, if images had been imported from Photo Stream. I cannot reproduce this bug any longer with Aperture 3.5.1.
    The export could go wrong, if the aperture library needed repairing.
    Have you tried the Aperture Library First Aid Tools,to fix a possible library curruption?
    See this link:  Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
    Before trying to rebuild, make sure, your backup of your Aperture library is current and in a working condition.
    I see a progress bar and the .exporting library is created in the desired location.
    Finally I decided to watch a project closely as it was being exported as a library and I noticed that the file size jumps up an down. I'm not an expert on how export works, but it would appear that each exported photo is overwriting the previous one.
    What is the desired location? Are you exporting to your internal system drive or to an external drive? If external, how is the drive formatted?  Such overwriting of files could be caused by incompatible filesystems creating conflicting pathnames. Make sure, the destination is a filesystem formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled).

  • How to import the old project to new project in P6

    Hi new guy here.Sorry if this thing have been posted before.I am kinda new here.
    I just wonder if can I import an old project to new project in P6?
    I have already finished with the project,but then as something happened I need to make it as a new project.So how can I used all the information I have on the old project to be transfer to the new one?
    If can how?I need to change certain things like date,resource,etc.
    Thanks

    hello.
    there are other more elaborate (and depending on size and scope of modifications, possibly useful) options including Methodology Management, but to keep it simple, try the following:
    if you have an initial baseline of the existing project, restore it and go from there. let me know if you need help on that.
    if not, copy-paste the existing project and manually adjust the newly created one. you can use "global changes" and/or "fill down" (see help and/or available related posts for this) to clear progress data such as actual resource/ expense units and costs, then activity start dates (in this order).
    make sure you baseline your projects before you start imputting actual data.
    good luck.

  • "Show in Project in New Tab"?? or alternative?  "Viewing History" list??

    Hi. The biggest rock in my Aperture workflow is not being able to instantly return to a view I had been recently using. I often work in a Smart Album, need to go to the Project in which a Version resides, and then return to the Smart Album. I sometimes simply need to refer to a photo elsewhere in my Library, then return to where I was. Is there an easy way to do this?
    Other programs provide a drop-down history list from which one can select previous views. This would be most useful. Aperture's tabbed views could be quite useful for this kind of "editing in one place, then another, then back", if there were some way of opening a new tab based on the current selected images, e.g.: "Show in Project in New Tab" or "Create New Album containing current selected photos in New Tab".
    I would love to know any work-arounds anyone has found usable.
    Thanks.

    At its simplest, what I want to do is right-click an image and open the Project that contains it in another tab. This can't be done (afaict). In practice, it's even harder: you cannot open the same container in two different tabs (which would allow me to then right-click in one of the tabs, and later return to the first tab).
    Separate but related: the absence of a viewing history (MRU list) confounds me hourly.

    Hi there! Actually, Roboform works with modern versions of Firefox. Please update to Roboform 7.9.0, and update Firefox to version 22 immediately. Continuing to use Firefox 3.6 is leaving your computer at risk for MAJOR security holes, plus known stability and performance issues. Please update immediately.
    Also, Firefox will work perfectly fine with XP SP2, but there is no reason why you shouldn't update XP to SP3

  • Creating a new RH9 HTML project from legacy project

    Hello,
    I am contemplating creating a new project from scratch from the monster that my current RH9 HTML project has become. I would appreciate advice on whether this is the best approach and if so, how to proceed. Here is background:
    I have an RH9 HTML project with 3500+ topics. This project was created with the first version of RoboHelp, back in the Blue Sky software days, about 15 years ago. Each time the RH software was sold to a new company, we ran into major issues with conversions and upgrades. The project kept growing and several times we ran into problems that had to be escalated to the top levels of support with the current owner of the software. Many times the best we could do is create workarounds. The number of files created over the years for this project has become enormous and I'm sure there are many which could be safely deleted but I'm not sure how to find out which ones without lots of trial and painful error.
    The most recent issue that came up was the sudden disappearance of all links between map IDs and topic titles for my context-sensitive topics. I posted here but eventually went to Adobe Support. After long and involved conversation and testing, we determined that one of the topics was corrupted and I was advised to start deleting topics and adding them back until the bad one was discovered. It was a very time-consuming process, and is an example of the other problems encountered, usually one major meltdown like this per year, give or take.
    The project was first created in MS Word 97, with lots of fancy formatting and frills. Eventually I was convinced by members of this forum to switch to RH HTML, so most of that formatting went away, but sometimes not in a nice way.
    So bottom line, I have way too many files, lots of them are messy, and I want to make a nice, clean project and have an easier life.
    What do you experts have to say?
    Thank you.
    Carma

    Good luck?
    The problem with something like this is that it sounds like the topics have built up some horrible code along the way.
    Would you like me to take a prima facie look?
    Contact me via my site if you would.

  • Reworking a legacy Project that has a .air generated application

    Hi,
    I am new to the Adobe SW solutions and have a few basic questions.
    Background.
    The small company where I now work has a software team of 1, and that is now me.
    In 2011 a previous Developer here created a .air target application that was delivered to customers and is currently still in use.
    Some aspects of this application never worked properly and I have been tasked with fixing this.
    From my investigation it seems the problems are limited to incorrect queries on the database so hopefully it should not be so hard.
    The previous development was done on a personal Macbook so this is gone and I need to start new.
    I have imported the project into FB 4.7 and am in process of understanding what is there, the structure and how it has been developed.
    Questions.
    1. Is Flash Builder the correct tool to build a .air application?
    2. I have just started the trial with Flash Builder 4.7 Premium 64 bit. Assuming the answer to Qu1 is affirmative then the company will buy the license just I need to advise whether we need the standard or premium version and right now I dont know how to decide. What specifics should I be concentrating on when making my recommendation?
    3. When I develop with 64 bit FB can I generate an application for a 32 bit target machine?
    4. Could there an impact on the legacy application if the customer installed Adobe Air is updated to the current version?
    Regards,

    Dear Frank,
    I was deploying from Jdeveloper (as described in Hello World tutorial) where we need to specify an EAR file name and also include the taskflow (Also the view controller in this case) project.
    The model project is referenced from view controller as a project dependency.
    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    War regards,

  • Project too new for final cut 6.0.2 error message

    My colleague at work has edited a rough cut on her Quad Core Intel computer. I'm using a Power Mac G5, and was able to download the project onto my desktop, but I get this message every time I try to open it: "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut." We're both using FCP 6.0.2, I've done all the software updates I can, but I still receive the message. Does anyone know what I can do?

    Did the person use the same workstation you are using? If you have the other person's volume mounted on your desktop, and you are definitely running the same OS, and you have the same version of FCP, then try opening the original file, not a copy. If it opens, do a *"save as"* instead of using a duplicated copy of the project.
    Also, if they are using a different workstation, they may have another 3rd party component installed that they used, (maybe a filter or codec), that would interfere with it opening. The best way to make sure FibreJet works seemlessly in a multi-station work environment is to make absolutely sure that every station is a clone of the others. If you do an update on one, you have to do it on all. If you add an application, make sure you add it to all stations.
    If you are using a different workstation, try to open it with the other station, then mount your desktop to that station through the LAN, and do a *"save as"* to your desktop, then try opening it from there.
    Of course, do all this after trying to zip it before copying it. It only takes a second and would eliminate one aspect of the possible problem.

  • Importing old project to new project

    Hi All-
    My client wants a different backgorund/template on the
    project that exists now. I decided the easiest way to make this
    change might be to open a new project, design the new background
    (actually I imported a new background into the new project form
    PowerPoint) and then import objects only slide for slide into the
    new project. But, the audio doesn't come along. Any suggestions or
    do I have tomanually import all the audio again? Or is there a
    better way overall to do this? I haven't spent very much time
    yet!

    Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I am having Kernel error problems with my G5 so I am moving files from my external drive to the new iMac rather than trying to fire up my old G5.
    I opened the FCE project on my backup drive and saved it to the desktop of my new computer. Obviously, the new computer is trying to find the video files on my new computer and they are not there.
    Unfortunately, I have made several long/large movies on my G5 but I have never really understood the exact path of where the video files are stored (documents, data, etc.) and how they are accessed by FCE.
    So... can you please explain where I can find the associated media files (from my project on my old G5) and where exactly I should copy them on the new iMac. And can I just "copy" and "paste" from my external drive into the iMac?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Legacy C program - new Java GUI and calling methods

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to these forums. I've been working for a company that has an exsisting program that is a propriotery video-client to a video-server. It is written in C and has DirectX components for the standalone C application and ActiveX components for the Internet Explorer version.
    I looked over the source code and found a main() function. Now I am trying to execute that main() fuction through java and jni. I have managed to get a simple HelloWorld program to work but am now stuck.
    I would like to do the following.
    1. Convert the exsisting code to a C library. I have to use Visual C++ 6.0 to create this project. (There is already an exsisting dsw project file for the video client).
    Question: How do I get rid of the main() function and compile correctly in Visual C++?
    2. How do I call the library function that I created in the above from a java main() method? What should I use to edit and compile java/c code?
    Thank you,
    Viral

    Hi,
    If you need to have fast results you can try to use the ActiveX with COM bridge like Jawin or JACOb (both at sourceforge) or use Eclipse's SWT that has an activeX support too.
    An other alternative is to create a full JNI wrapper to your project.
    A1 : Replace the main by DllMain (create a new DLL with msvc++ wizard to see how to create a basic DLL).
    A2 : Call all functions exported by DLLs with a free tool like JNative.
