Robo 8 Topic files not displaying in project manager

I am working on a project upgrade and have made new topics in Robo 8 project. When I view the topic files for a particular folder in the Project Manager view only 1/2 of my topics are displayed.. When I look in the folder (behind the scenes), all my topics are there, just not displayed in the Project Manager. What do I need to do? Thanks!.

Peter,
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
I have a project that I tested with RH 8.0.2.208 using the following steps/results.
October 5, 2009 – last date the project was modified – based on the modified date of *.htm files and *.xpj file.
Copied the project.
Opened the copy using *.xpj.
Broken links exist.
Opened a 10-5-2009 copy of the actual HTML help file. Checked one broken link topic. The topic exists in the output and looks correct.
Copied the project again.
Deleted *.cpd.
Open the new copy using *.xpj.
Broken links exist.
Generated (HTML) primary output.
Checked one broken link topic (same as above). Topic content exists, but the screen captures in the topic do not. A red x appears in place of the screen captures.
I do not know how to uninstall only the patch. I looked at Add or Remove programs, and I do not see a stand alone entry for the patch.
To uninstall the patch, do I have to completely uninstall RH 8.0.2 and reinstall the older version fresh? That seems like a major bother. An uninstall and fresh install of the earlier version will likely eliminate some styles and other settings that I have saved.
Is there a way to uninstall just the patch?
As an alternative to uninstalling 8.0.2, I opened a fresh copy of the project (last modified 10-5-2009) on a machine with RH 8.0.203 installed, i.e., a machine without the patches installed.
There were no problem with the project, i.e., no broken links.

Baggage files not displaying in Project Manager panel?

I have 203 baggage files in a project but only 45 of them
actually display under the Baggage Folder list in the Project
Manager. When I select new/baggage file and select one of
these...there is no response from RH. If I open the rhbag.apj file
with Notepad the files are listed - all of them! I don't see any
strange characters and we are very careful to name our baggage
files with underscores and only alpha/numeric characters.
If I rename the file outside of RH and then reimport it, it
will display and I can change the name back...but that's very
time-consuming for 160 files.
What is causing RH to not display these? Any topic linking to
them works. It just seems to be a display quirk for the folder
itself. I tried rebuilding the .cpd file and that didn't change
anything.
Anyone have any helpful tips on how to fix this? THANK
YOU!!!

Colum & Rick,
I went ahead and backed up the rhbag file, then rebuilt the
.cpd file with a rhbag file from a brand new project with no
baggage files in it. Of course there were none when this project
now opened. I can now import the baggage files and they display.
Crazy. Will just add all 160 in this manner and hope this is done.
Thanks again for your help...I have gremlins!

Baggage Files not displaying in Project Mgr

I want to add a few Word documents into the Baggage Files. I
have done this before without a problem. From the Project Manager I
right click on the Main Baggage File icon and select Add New
Baggage File. I then locate my Word document, select it and click
Open. It worked for the first Word Document but when I tried to add
another file it doesn't display in my Project Manager. Is there
something I am missing? I tried to drag and drop and still no
success. I can go thru My Computer and locate the Word doc it is
actually in my Main Project File however it isn't displayed in
Project Mgr. Any hints on what I am doing incorrectly?
Thanks for your help

Baggage files in folder, in rhbag, NOT shown in Project Manager

We use RH7 and have significant numbers of baggage files per project. We import the baggage files, they show up, life is good. We drag/drop to them all over the place. Then you rebuild the .cpd file and more than 50% of them disappear. They are still in the folder, they are STILL in the rhbag file. They just don't show in the project manager, which makes drag/drop pretty darn tough. Also leads to duplicates with slightly different names as authors try to 'fix' the problem.
I painstakenly add them back in...only to have them all disappear the first time I rebuild the .cpd. The same ones stay...the same ones disappear.
What is the issue? This is so frustrating and there is no good answer to provide to people.
Does anyone have a solution that works? Does RH8 fix this? Thank you!!!!

Hi Teri
How's the supply of Dissident going? Any left in the cellar?
Last time you had a problem project, it was the number of images behind the problem. That didn't stop the images appearing but it affected the project in other ways. You say this project has 7,000 images. Isn't that the sort of level that gave you problems before? What is the number of images in the biggest project in the merge you finally created?
Maybe the symptom is the baggage files not appearing in Project Manager but that doesn't mean they are the cause.
What is the file size of this project zipped up? No I don't want you to send it, I want to compare it with the last one that gave grief and was over 100mb as I recall.

Some .htm file not displaying in Topic List, but displaying in RH11 folder

Hi All,
We are running a project using RH 11, team consist of 3 person (include me)
But we have problem with many .htm file from my 1st coworker, file not displaying in Topic List in my Robohelp and 2nd coworker.
Although we already get the latest file again and again
But .htm file displaying in all our RH11 folder.
In my 1st coworker RH, all file displaying in Topic List also RH11 folder, but when file generated then
Many files from 1st coworker, hyperlink is not working well (broken link / file not found)
Does anyone have experience about this problem
Thanks

First of all, make sure you do not have the following files in source control: .cpd, .pss, .ldb.
These files contain local information that can cause problems when in source control.
Then try this:
Everyone deletes the .cpd file.
Everyone gets the latest files for the whole project from source control.
Open the project.
Does everything now display correctly?
If yes, you need to make sure you delete the cpd file before opening the project each day, and also during the day if you know a co-worker has made changes that you need. This file is a database which includes a list of all the files Robohelp knows about. When other people are adding and removing files, this information no longer matches properly. I recommend doing a Get Latest in these situations as well, just to make sure Robohelp can find the correct information.
If you are still not seeing the correct files repeat the above process, but at step 2, pick the options to Overwrite local files. I can't say where you will see these options - they may be two checkboxes in a dialog box when you select Get Latest - it will depend on your source control application.
Hope this helps.

Help topics are not displaying when using Windows 7 / IE 9 / RH10

We recently upgraded our library from RH8 to RH10. Also used a trial version of RH9 in this process. Now when we compile several of the projects have issues where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (like it is trying to load). If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around). Anyone else having this problem?? I saw something similiar for Windows8/IE10, but the fix does not apply here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5138909#5138909#5138909).

Hi,
I (April) apologize I have been OOO and have not been able to respond to your replies.
Let’s start over.
We have an issue where help topics do not display when selected in the TOC or when a link to the topic is clicked within another internal topic. It is in a continous loop in the browser (flickering like it is trying to load). If you right-click on the topic it displays (we are currently using this as the work-around).
We use Windows 7, IE9 and RH10 for all our projects. (Recently upgraded from RH8 to RH10)
Turns out the problem is not isolated. I have run across it in at least one other project, which leads me to think it also occurs in others.
"Does this only occur when the help is called from your software? Is it OK if you double click the start page?"
          No. I it ALSO occurs when launched from the start page.
Have you tried deleting the CPD file and reopening Rh and the project?
          Yes, without success.
Are you using any redirects?
          Per (Adrienne), “I am not using any redirects. I encounter this issue only in IE. If I paste the .htm into a Firefox browser, the help displays as it should.”
          I will add that the project also displays incorrectly in Google Chrome.
Thanks April

Help topics are not displaying when using Windows 8/IE 10

I have a WebHelp system created in RoboHelp 7. When opening that Help from our application using Windows 8 with Internet Explorer 10 and allowing blocked content, the Help topics do not display in the right pane when clicking a topic from the Contents in the left pane. Below are the steps:
1. Open the Help system from the Help menu within the application.
2. The Allow Blocked Content displays and I allow it.
3. The Help opens and if I click a topic from the TOC in the left pane, the topic doesn't display in the right pane.
A workaround we found was to widen the left pane and the topic then displays. Also, if you don't allow blocked content, this issue doesn't happen. However, I need to allow blocked content in order for PDFs within the Help to open properly and also because the Search doesn't display without allowing blocked content.
We also tested this with a Help system that was created using Robohelp 9 and have the same issue. I'm wondering if RoboHelp 10 would solve this problem.
Does anyone know if IE 10 requires Help systems to be created in RoboHelp 10 to work properly, at least when allowing blocked content?

It seems to be time for the old divide and conquer approach.
Zip up the project so you have a copy that cannot accidentally be opened and worked on. That gives you a copy that you can safely revert to later if needed. Save the zip file somewhere safe.
Then create another copy of the project so that you have two copies that can be worked on.
Open Copy 1 and delete half the topics. Ignore any broken links reported. Generate the help from that copy.
Open Copy 2 and delete the other half of the topics. Generate the help from that copy.
It should be the case that one copy is now OK and one still has the problem.
Trash the good copy and then create a second copy of the copy with the problem.
Repeat the process until you have located whatever is causing the problem.
The process takes less time than you might think.

PreE V8: Clips not displaying in project view

I have a clip in the my timeline/sceneline that is not displaying in Project view. It also does not have the "P" in the bottom corner of the thumbnail in Organizer view. Why isn't the clip considered part of the project?

I have been shooting in XP+ mode and have been for the past year.
I haven't tried using the Premier Elements Get Media function. I usually import both still images from one camera and the video from this camera at the same time into the same Photoshop album and use Organizer. Also there are some training videos and books that tell you to use Organizer.
I tried importing a video file using the Get Media function and was able to use the set in/out points and have them saved correctly.
Then in the project that I am working on I took one of video files that I imported through the Organizer and deleted it from the catalog. Then I imported it using the Get Media function and put it in the album with the other files. Then I used Preview to set in/out points. Those points were saved correctly.
So know I will delete all the remaining video files from the catalog that I haven't yet used in my project and then remote them through Premiere's Get Media.
So it appears that as you thought, I need to use Get Media to import video files. But that is not emphasized in any documentation. I think there should be a warning when importing video files in Organizer saying that if you intend to use Premier Elements to edit them that they should be imported via that product.
Thank you for your assistance.

TOC Topic content not displayed in WYSIWYG Editor

I use RoboHelp X5. When I click a topic in the TOC pane I
expect to see its contents displayed in the WYSIWYG Editor. Instead
the WYSIWYG pane is grey and the TrueCode pane is blank with a
cursor flashing on the upper left corner!
I searched for some similar issue on this forum and could not
find it. However, I did gather that I could use another editor by
right clicking a topic when in the Project tab and selecting one of
5-6 editors. I tried RoboHelp TrueCode and was amazed and relieved
to see the code and content for the topic displayed in the TrueCode
pane...so I went a step further and tried the WYSIWYG editor and
wonder of wonders, the topic content was displayed.
Can someone please tell me what is going on? Should I
reinstall RoboHelp X5? Why does the topic content not display when
I click the topic from the TOC tab?

Welcome to the forum.
There have been posts about this but maybe your forum search
history is not set to go back far enough.
Rather than right click and selecting RH True Code, at the
bottom of the editing pane there is a true code tab which will
quickly enable you to see your code is still safe. That said, if
you then click WYSIWYG, you don't get the view restored, usually.
Maybe your way has an advantage.
It's one of those things that happens now and again. I don't
think reinstalling will help. I have had it happen several times in
a day and then you go months with it working just fine.
I don't believe anyone has ever lost any data. At worst you
just have to close RH and reopen it.
For what it is worth, I haven't seen this happen in RH7.

RH 10 - chm opens but topics are not displaying

Hi,
I generated a chm file, and save it on our network drive for others to open and review. When they open it, the topics are not displaying. Should it work that way? Should the chm be on my local machine for it to display the topics properly?
Thanks in advance!

Are you using Chrome? Try opening it in MSIE and see if it opens properly. From my experience the Chrome bug seems to be fixed – but perhaps not?

ICO file not displaying at run time?

Hello Experts,
I an using fusion 11.1.2.1 32 bit. I have Copied the Icons as well as GIF files in C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_FRHome1\forms\java folder.
At button property i set Iconic to yes
and file = addrow
Icon not display at run time.
but when i set file = abc.GIF
image is displaying at run time.
My doubt is that ICO file not displaying at run time while GIF file are displaying.
Do i need to change configuration ?
Please do the needful.
Thanks
Yash

Hi Yash,
First Try this steps
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Double-click My Computer, and then click Options on the View menu.
Verify that the Icon file type appears on the File Types tab. If the Icon file type does not appear in the Registered File Types box, skip to step 10.
Click Icon in the Registered File Types box, and then click Edit.
Verify that the following settings exist, and then click OK:
The Description Of Type box contains Icon.
If there is a Confirm Open After Download check box, it should be selected.
If the settings do not appear exactly as listed in step 4, click Remove, click Yes, and then click OK. If the settings do appear as listed in step 4, skip to step 10.
Click New Type.
In the Description Of Type box, type Icon.
In the Associated Extension box, type ICO.
Click OK, and then click Close.
Use Registry Editor to view theHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.icokey, and then verify that the default string contains the following value:icofileIf the .ico key does not exist, create it, and then insert the value listed above. If any other values exist in the .ico key, delete them.
Use Registry Editor to view theHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofilekey, and then verify that the default string contains the following value:iconIf the icofile key does not exist, create it, and then insert the value listed above. If any other values exist, delete them.
Create a new key in the icofile key called DefaultIcon , and type %1 as this key's default value.
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.
Second Try this
Simple way
Copy your images to:
1
c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\
Notes:
- Icon files may not be supported.
- In case of a Java security issue when using gif images, you will need to create a jar file and sign it with oracles sign-tool (see below, point 6).
- In case you having trouble with oracle’s sign-tool, do it directly with java’s
Recommended way
1. Create a “icons” folder and place all your gifs in there
i.e. “c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\<icons>”
2. From within icons folder make a jar file of all the gif images:
1
jar -cvf frmicons.jar *.gif
3. Copy this new jar into “c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\”
4. Edit/update formsweb.cfg file:
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg …to update/include:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
# Forms applet parameter
codebase=/forms/java
# Forms applet parameter
imageBase=codebase
# Forms applet archive setting for other clients (Sun Java Plugin...etc)
archive=frmall.jar,frmicons.jar
# Forms applet archive setting for JInitiator
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmicons.jar
5. Edit/update Registry.dat file:
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\forms\registry\oracle\forms\registry\Registry.dat
1
2
default.icons.iconpath=icons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
At this point your icons should work normally, but if you get a security check of Java for gif files then proceed to the next step to fix this. TIP: May need to restart the weblogic/forms server for changes to take effect.
6. Sign your jar file with oracles sign_webutil.bat sign-tool.
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin\sign_webutil.bat
Firstly, you need to edit the sign_webutil.bat as follows:
1
2
3
SET KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=my_password
SET JAR_KEY=webutil2 # will need to change for every run
SET JAR_KEY_PASSWORD=my_password
Secondly, set the environment path and finally run the command:
1
2
3
set path=c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\jdk\bin
cd c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin\
sign_webutil c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\my_icons.jar
This will create your signed jar file. Once initialized from the web-app it should ask the user to “Trust” the certificate and never prompt again.
Other issues you may encounter and may need to edit/update the following files/registry entries as well:
formsweb.cfg
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg

# Forms applet parameter

# Forms applet archive setting for other clients (Sun Java Plugin, ...etc)
archive=frmall.jar, my_icons.jar
...or
# Forms applet archive setting for JInitiator
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar, my_icons.jar
Registry.dat
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\forms\registry\oracle\forms\registry\Registry.dat
1
2
default.icons.iconpath=/forms/java
default.icons.iconextension=gif
Registry entries:
1
2
UI_ICON:<path_to_icons_dir>
UI_ICON_EXTENSION: "gif": ".gif" "ico": ".ico"
Credits and further information can be tracked for icons issue here and for jar file creation here.
Hope this will help.

Files not displaying in list view?

I recently upgraded my MacPro (early 2008 8core) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Lion.
At first i wanted to do a fresh install on my machine but soon realised it wasnt possible to import old accounts from another internal drive so i opted to upgrade the system instead.
After doing so I was faced with an odd problem of files not displaying in my finder windows when switching through internal drives or changing from 'file view' to 'list view' or 'column view' etc...
The attached screenshots were taken in sequence youll also note that the path bar & top window name dont update either.
The relevant drives are in healthy condition with several tests run over them to ensure their healthy(Disk Utility & Drive Genius). I have also run permissions repair, and a utility to empty cahces etc (OnyX). From what i can see its possibly something to do with the Finder not updating or refreshing the window? The issue seems to be isolated to the drives however intermittently the problem exists deeper into the directory on 'TerraTank' Volume.
The finder also crashes semi-frequently and the problem seems to dispaear for a while and revealing the contents of these volumes for a few mins.
I have also checked activity monitor to see if any particular process was going haywire and all seemed relativly normal.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Regards,
JP

Onyx may be causing problems. Don't use it on a non-backed up system, as cleaning caches may damage them, and make things not work. Make sure your Spotlight indexes all drives you wish to be searchable. Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight and add each hard drive to the Privacy section, and then remove it again. Then click on the Spotlight menu every half hour to see when it stops saying that it is indexing. It might take a few hours. But once done, it should be fixed.

Flash files not displaying in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Most recent Shockwave installed, private browsing active in Firefox? Works perfectly in Chrome and Internet Explorer. HELP!!!!

I suppose it would have helped if you knew what it was supposed to look like! I'm using Shockwave Flash 11.7.700.169 and the version of Firefox I'm on is 20.0
When you see it in Firefox - do the thumbnail populate the grid? See attached populated and un-populated.
Populated grid is with Chrome.

Well, I'm afraid I'm not going to be a lot of help. From what I see, if everything is installed correctly it should be working. I know that there has been a few challenges associated with Vista, but I don't know enough about that aspect to really comment. I'm still using Windows XP.
As far as Camera Raw is concerned, there have been four updates since CS3 was released. If you haven't done any updates you are probably in for a pleasant surprise. New controls have been added that most people have found to be quite valuable. The most current version of Camera Raw is 4.3.1. The first thing I would suggest is for you to download that update and get it installed and see it that makes a difference.
I know you indicated that you don't want to have to do a lot of fine tuning of the program. But Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is updated frequently, and you always want to make sure you have the most current version. If the new version of ACR doesn't resolve your issues the problem "might" be related to Vista. And I'm afraid I cannot help you with that at all.
