Retaining links when deleting multiple files

Hi there,
I need to delete a lot of files from a project, but I don't
want to lose the links to those topics in other files. If I delete
a single file, Robohelp HTML displays a dialog box that gives the
option to keep references to that file in other files. This is the
behaviour I want to achieve.
When I try to delete multiple files, however, Robohelp
doesn't give the option to keep the references and the links
disappear from other files.
Does anyone know any way to delete mulitple files and keep
all references to those files? I really don't want to have to
delete every topic individually!
Many thanks
Kate

Hi Rick,
Thanks very much for that quick reply. That's a good idea - I
don't why I didn't think of it
I deleted some files and they disappeared from Robohelp
before my very eyes...then I tried again in another folder and they
didn't disappear, but nasty red crosses appeared on their icons. It
doesn't seem to matter whether I have Robohelp open or closed - the
red crosses appear all the time now.
Any ideas why some topics delete seamlessly, and Robohelp
doesn't want to let go of others?
Cheers
Kate

  • Adobe Acrobat pro 9.4.6 crashes when opening multiple files simultaneously.

    We have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 which has been updated to version 9.4.6. we had this problem when the 9.4.5 update was applied also. It is now crashing when we try to open multiple files simultaneously.
    Yesterday, I narrowed down the problem to 6 plugins:
    IA32
    ADBC
    eBook
    EScript
    HLS
    PPKLite
    SaveAsRTS
    However, we discovered that that Comments and markup tool bars weren't loading. So I did a repair install on it.
    Now those plugins from yesterday work and Acroform.api is causing it to crash when opening multiple files.
    I did try other suggestion that involved using Icacls/cacls on dll files to no avail.
    It is running on XP SP3 fully updated with plenty of RAM and HDD space.
    Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling?

    I am not sure what's causing this problem on your machine because everything's working fine for me.
    What is the version of Acroform.api on your machine now.
    Do a Repair after deleting this file and see if it works.
    Enable Windows MSI logging (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314852) before you do a repair, upload that log to some file sharing server, and paste its link here.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

    Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

    Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
    It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died.  Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again.  Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes.  I send the error report every time.

  • Disappering cursor when placing multiple file in Indesign.

    When placing multiple file (jpeg, tiff's, pdf files,etc.) in a indesign document, my cursor disappears. If you can get to the desktop and click on it, it will come back.
    first started in Indesign CC 2014, Any fix for this?
    Thanks, Dennis

    Hi,
    This is an expected behavior, when you place an image in InDesign then it display the preview of the image however you this has no impact on the output unless the image placed is of low-resolution itself.
    In order to have good resolution of images, you may switch to View > Display Performance > High Quality.
    Thanks,

  • Deleting multiple files in aperture

    How do I delete multiple files? I think it involves the apple key + another key but I cannot find a reference to it.
    Also, where is the setting for changing "primary only"?
    Thanks in advance!

    You can't select multiple items in the Project Inspector.
    To delete multiple images use the shift key to select contiguous images or the Command key to select non-contiguous images. Then press command + delete.
    Primary only is under the edit menu and there's a button with a "1" on it

  • HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

    when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

    The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
         <User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
    If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
    Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

  • Email notification to specific user when processing multiple files at a time

    Hi 
    I am new to SSIS and error mail notification ,can some please provide details for my urgent and prioritized task in my project.
    below is the requirement
    I have a package for multiple file processing using for each file enumerator .each file having same column definition but for different
    users and different name .
    i have some mandatory fields to form unique id on combination
    1.when files processing any data missed on mandatory fields it should alert users saying following line and fields are missing mandatory
    information 
    2.email notification should send to respective users based on file name.
    example :
    file1:bitunimous.xls 
    file 2.oxford.xls
    each file having following fields
    file 1:bitunimous.xls
    claim no: claimant: subclaim:
    1001 abc 0 
    1002 abc 1 
    1002 abe 0 
    1004 0
    here bitunimous.xls missed claimant value for 4th line then email needs to send to [email protected] as
    line no 4 missed claimant information for unique key generation like that.
    file 2.oxford.xls
    claim no: claimant: subclaim:
    2001 det 0

    line no 3 missed claimno information for unique key generation like that.
    can anybody please provide solution 
    Thanks .
    Ambed

    You need to have a package with below work flow
    1. ForEachLoop container with file enumerator to loop through files
     Have variable inside loop to get the filename during each iteration. Create another variable called emailaddress, set EvaluateAsExpression property to true and set expression as
    REPLACE(@[User::FileName],".xls","") + (DT_STR,20,1252) "@xyx.com"
    2. Add tasks for validating data. Capture details of error on a string variable @[User::Error]
    3. link a sent mail task to previous task and choose expression and constraint option. Set Constraint as On Completion and Expression as LEN(@Error) > 0
    Inside Sent mail task set expression for ToLine and MessageSource properties to map to variables @[User::EmailAddress] and @{User::Error] respectively to sent notifications

  • InDesign CS3 crashes when importing multiple files.

    I've got a new box that's been running pretty solid for several weeks now. It's Win 7 with 8 gigs. Just last night it starts crashing when I'm importing multiple files. Doesn't matter if it's JPGs, TIFFs, or PDFs.
    I can import all the same files one by one using the place command.
    Importing multiples using the place command or dragging & dropping crashes.
    It's not a case of placing a PDF using the bleed box and no bleed box is set. And that usually doesn't crash InDesign, just fails to import.
    I deleted the preferences file to no avail.
    CS 5.5 has no problems. No, I can't just use 5.5. I'm the only person with it and really only use it for converting files for customers that don't have the common sense to send a PDF. Other people in the shop have to be able to open these same files.
    Any ideas? This is already a pain since one of my main jobs is ganging business cards 72 up on a sheet.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • Indesign CS5 freezes when opening multiple files

    When I try to open multiple files at the same time it will show the files on screen as if they are open but then a popup will come up that says "Open 2 Documents" and it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign. I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use ctrl+alt+delete to close the program and then open the files one at a time. When I open the program again it then has the files loaded and ready to go. I am working on Windows 7 Professional and I don't have any Indesign Plugins that I use. Extensis Suitcase font auto-activation is turned off.

    Dear all,
    I think I have the same problem... or not ?!
    => When I try to open multiple files at the same time it opens only the 2 or 3 first ones then it freezes on the Spinning Beach Ball of Death !
    => Then it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign.
    => I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use cmd+alt+esc to close the program
    => then, the files open directly on indesign when I open the program again (jus as if the files had been loaded and ready to go)
    I am working on MAC OS X (10.7.3)
    Anybody could help please ?? (sorry for my english... I'm a French native speaker) 

  • Solution for undefined Sym when compiling multiple files

    Hi, I'd like to suggest a solution for the common 'undefined sym' problem.
    Combining all the source files into one file solves the problem quite effectively.
    I'm not sure if this is due to gcc, or some name mangling scheme that's throwing
    the avm2 off but in any case, when I compile multiple c++ files 'separately', ie
    g++ (or gcc) A.c B.c C.c -O3 -DOSX -DRT_AS3 -swc -o library.swc
    results in
    1) undefined _main if main() is not in C.c (but in another file which is not last in the list),
    and
    2) calling ANY function in A.c or B.c from C.c results in an "undefined sym" runtime error.
    When combining the files into one unit however, and then compiling that unit works fine:
    on linux/darwin:
    cat A.c B.c C.c > unit.c
    g++ (or gcc) unit.c -O3 -DOSX -DRT_AS3 -swc -o library.swc
    hope this helps someone.
    J

    Perhaps I didn't explain my question well enough. We already are using a dependency management system (based on jam - blows the doors off of make). However, some of our libraries that we build consist of many ( 100+ ) individual .cpp files, and there are many of these libraries in a dependency hierarchy. Invoking the compiler once per file seems to be a source of considerable overhead. I want to invoke the compiler only twice per library, no matter how many individual .o files need to be rebuilt - once to rebuild the out of date subset of .c files (one "-c" style invocation, no link step, generate object files only), and once to link the rebuilt .o files and the unchanged .o files into the target shared object.
    However, the compiler will not accept multiple "-o" flags, forcing us to invoke it once per file if we want to specify an output name. I want an option (or a workaround) that will allow us to specify multiple source files, and the output name for each in one compiler invocation. One approach could be a flag that could be used repeatedly to specify source file name / object file name pairs on the command line. Another would be a flag that set a derivation rule by which the output object file name would be generated from the input source file name.
    Repeatedly invoking the entire toolchain to compile one file of many, when the include dependency graphs, symbol tables, template instantations, etc. of each of those files are certain to overlap to a great degree, seems to me like a huge waste. Why must we reparse std::basic_string for each source file if we know the build environment is the same, just because we want to specify the output filename?

  • Trying to delete multiple files with very basic VBS script

    Good day,
    I've found a script and modified it for an input box to accommodate multiple files being deleted but I'm not sure if it is capable or if I'm just using the wrong syntax within the input box:
    Script:
    Set obj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 'Calls the File System Object 
    obj.DeleteFile inputbox("Enter files and path to be deleted") 'Deletes the file throught the DeleteFile function
    When prompted and I put just one file path to the file I want deleted it works, but if I put in multiple files and their paths either separated by colan, semi colan or space, it says "bad file path or number".  If anyone knows of a VBS
    or powershell script that references a text file or .csv spreadsheet that would be sooper handy!
    Many thanks - RP
    berto

    Thank you Bill!
    Sounds like I need a different method all together.  I found this script that references a .csv file with the folder paths and file names; does it seem legit to you guys?  Also for files that are past the 256 UNC character length, is there a work
    around for that?
    12
    $files = Get-Content "C:\scripts\delete-files.csv"
    13
    14
    foreach ($file in $files) {
    15
        Remove-Item -Path
    $file -force
    16
    17
    18
    write-host -foregroundcolor yellow "Delete action complete"
    berto
    Try this to see:
    $files = Get-Content "C:\scripts\delete-files.csv"
    foreach ($file in $files) {
    Remove-Item -Path $file -force -WhatIf
    write-host -foregroundcolor yellow "Delete action complete"
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Why does iTunes create disk errors when deleting movie files?

    I use a Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.5. When I delete movie file from my iTunes library I get disk errors. I need to option boot select the recovery disk and repair the disk.  Deleting a movie file I have placed on my desktop with finder does not create any errors.  Most of the movie files are created as .m4v movies. They all play just fine with my Apple TV. I have tried turning off the Apple TV and rebooting before I delee files but nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas?
    Lance

    If you let iTunes organise your media folders then that is the way it is. An option would be to change the Media Kind to TV Show which would gather them togther in one folder, but in a different part of the library.
