RoboHelp 9 - problem with merged TOC and index

Using RoboHelp v9.0.0.228 I have a master project which contains several merged TOCs and indexes for other CHMs. This has worked successfully for years, but has now stopped working in our translated CHMs. I have checked all the relevant settings and they appear to be correct. The English version still works correctly. Can you help please? Many thanks.

OK, so my post was just a summary really!
I have a main project with its own TOC, index and topics. I then have several other projects with their own TOCs, indexes and topics, and these are merged into the master TOC. In all these projects, we use the indexes to contain function ids for our software, so that when you press F1 in a software function, it invokes the correct Help topic in the CHM. The software is coded so that it goes to the main project first, and then looks in the merged index to find the link to the Help topic.
In the individual sub projects, the TOCs and indexes are present and work correctly. Also, in the master project, the TOC and index works correctly in the original English version. However, even though the TOCs, indexes and topics are all present and correct in the translated versions (Russian, for example) the index in the master project does not contain the entries for the sub projects. The TOCs for the sub projects do, however, work correctly.

  • RoboHelp x5 TOC and index missing when the project is converted to RoboHelp 10

    As the title says, RoboHelp x5 TOC and index missing when the project is converted to RoboHelp 10. Any ideas for recovering or importing the x5 TOC and index?
    Before this is suggested, auto-create is not an option.

    Hi there
    Perhaps give this a try. From the Project Manager pod, right-click the Table of Contents area and choose "New Table of Contents". Give it a name and enable the "Copy existing Table of Contents" check box. Then click the Ellipsis icon on the far right side. See if you have a .HHC file in the folder. Odds are, you will. That will be the existing (missing) TOC.
    Hopefully that will work. If so, repeat the process for the index.
    I think when upgrading the project something goes wrong with naming.
    Let us know if this helps... Rick

  • Performance problem with MERGE statement

    Version : 11.1.0.7.0
    I have an insert statement like following which is taking less than 2 secs to complete and inserts around 4000 rows:
    INSERT INTO sch.tab1
              (c1,c2,c3)
    SELECT c1,c2,c3
       FROM sch1.tab1@dblink
      WHERE c1 IN (SELECT c1 FROM sch1.tab2@dblink);I wanted to change it to a MERGE statement just to avoid duplicate data. I changed it to following :
    MERGE INTO sch.tab1 t1
    USING (SELECT c1,c2,c3
       FROM sch1.tab1@dblink
      WHERE c1 IN (SELECT c1 FROM sch1.tab2@dblink) t2
    ON (t1.c1 = t2.c1)
    WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
    INSERT (t1.c1,t1.c2,t1.c3)
    VALUES (t2.c1,t2.c2,t2.c3);The MERGE statement is taking more than 2 mins (and I stopped the execution after that). I removed the WHERE clause subquery inside the subquery of the USING section and it executed in 1 sec.
    If I execute the same select statement with the WHERE clause outside the MERGE statement, it takes just 1 sec to return the data.
    Is there any known issue with MERGE statement while implementing using above scenario?

    Are your join columns indexed?
    Yes, the join columns are indexed.
    You are doing a remote query inside the merge; remote queries can slow things down. Do you have to select all thr rows from the remote table? What if you copied them locally using a materialized view?Yes, I agree that remote queries will slow things down. But the same is not happening while select, insert and pl/sql. It happens only when we are using MERGE. I have to test what happens if we use a subquery refering to a local table or materialized view. Even if it works, I think there is still a problem with MERGE in case of remote subqueries (atleast till I test local queries). I wish some one can test similar scenarios so that we can know whether it is a genuine problem or some specific problem from my side.
    >
    BTW, I haven't had great luck with MERGE either :(. Last time I tried to use it I found it faster to use a loop with insert/update logic.
    Edited by: riedelme on Jul 28, 2009 12:12 PM:) I used the same to overcome this situation. I think MERGE needs to be still improved functionally from Oracle side. I personally feel that it is one of the robust features to grace SQL or PL/SQL.

  • Problem with the MenuBar and how can i delete a own component out of the storage

    Hello,
    I opened this thread in the category "Flex Builder 2", but
    under this category my questions fit better.
    I have a problem with the MenuBar and a question to delete a
    component out of storage.
    1. We have implemented the MenuBar, which was filled
    dynamically with XML data.
    Sporadically it will appear following fault, if we "mousover"
    the root layer.
    RangeError: Error #2006: Der angegebene Index liegt
    außerhalb des zulässigen Bereichs.
    at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/addChildAt()
    at mx.managers::SystemManager/
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/flex/mx/internal::rawChildren_addChildAt()
    at mx.managers::SystemManager/addChild()
    at mx.managers::PopUpManager$/addPopUp()
    at mx.controls::Menu/show()
    at mx.controls::MenuBar/::showMenu()
    at mx.controls::MenuBar/::mouseOverHandler()
    Here a abrid ged version of our XML to create the MenuBar:
    <Menuebar>
    <menu label="Artikel">
    <menu label="Artikel anlegen" data="new_article" />
    <menu label="Artikel bearbeiten" data="edit_article" />
    <menu label="Verpackung">
    <menu label="Verpackung anlegen" data="new_package" />
    <menu label="Verpackung bearbeiten" data="edit_package"
    />
    </menu>
    <menu label="Materialgruppe">
    <menu label="Materialgruppe anlegen"
    data="new_materialgroup" />
    <menu label="Materialgruppe bearbeiten"
    data="edit_materialgroup" />
    </menu>
    </menu>
    </Menuebar>
    It is a well-formed XML.
    2. Delete a component out of storage
    We have some own components (basically forms), which will be
    created and shown by an construct e.g.
    var myComponent : T_Component = new T_Component ;
    this.addChild(myComponent)
    Some of our forms will be created in an popup. On every call
    of the popup, we lost 5 mb or more, all childs on the windows will
    be removed by formname.removeAllChild();
    What cann we do, that the garbage collector will dispose this
    objects.
    Is there a way to show all objects with references (NOT
    NULL)?
    I have read in the Flex Help, that
    this.removeChild(myComponent) not delete the form and/or object out
    of the storage.
    Rather the object must be destroyed.
    It is sufficient to call delete(myComponent) about remove
    this object out of the storage as the case may be that the
    garbage-collector remove this object at any time?
    Or how can I destroy a component correctly. What happens with
    the widgets on this component e.g. input fields or datagrids?
    Are they also being deleted?
    Thanks for your help.
    Matze

    If you mena the "photo Library" then you cannot delete it.
    This is how iphone handles photos.  There are not two copies.  There a re simply two places from which to access the same photos.  ALL photos synced to iphone can be accessed via Photo Library.  Those same pics can be accessed via their individual folder.

  • What output files contain TOC and Index contents?

    I would like to "fool" a webhelp system into believing it has
    only the topics produced with a conditional text tag. But I cannot
    find where the output content of the TOC and Index reside. I am not
    speaking of the source files (HHK and HHC).

    You have complete and utter control over what the TOC shows
    before you generate webhelp. Whatever is in the TOC view is what
    will display in WebHelp, unless you exclude a topic from the build.
    RH includes all untagged topics, and you cannot condition a
    build to omit them from the TOC, or, for that matter, from the
    WebHelp package. If you condition WebHelp to include some tags and
    to exclude others, RH will build the WebHelp TOC accordingly,
    including the untagged items.
    If you want to maintain, say, 100 entries in the RH source
    TOC, but to exclude references to 30 that don''t carry a particular
    flag, tag those 30 topics and exclude them from the conditional
    build..

  • Flash Player 10, strange problem with emdedded fonts and movieclips

    Hello, developers! I have a big problem with font embedding
    and I can not debug it myself. So I need you help.
    I' ve done a simple list of attached movieclips with
    textfields inside them, with embedded fonts. I have no problem with
    flash player 9 in order to see the list, but in flash player 10 I
    can't see it. The font is very common, Arial actually so you can
    test it very easily. I am using a font symbol in the library, a
    class and an xml file for my data.
    Also you can see it online in (if you have flash player 10
    you can't see a thing)
    http://www.forestonfire.com//research/flash/fontproblem/index.html
    I have compiled the file as an exe projector in order to see
    it as I do in flash player 9
    http://www.forestonfire.com//research/flash/fontproblem/fontinflash9.zip
    I have zipped also the source code in order to compile it
    yourself.
    http://www.forestonfire.com/research/flash/fontproblem/fontembedded.zip
    and the same example without embedded fonts (I have the same
    problem there so perchaps are not the fonts)
    http://www.forestonfire.com/research/flash/fontproblem/fontnotembed.zip
    Please, check it and tell me if there is a solution
    available. Thank you in advance.

    I've included also a much more simple example without the xml
    and the font symbol, only the class and a movieclip from the
    library, but I can't still see it on flash player 10
    http://www.forestonfire.com/research/flash/fontproblem/simplyfied.zip
    I have no clue about this problem.

  • Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

    I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more

    be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the

    Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
    I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
    widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
    currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
    Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
    ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
    ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
    TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
    ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
    Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
    widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
    finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
    with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
    and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
    TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
    now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
    for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
    is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
    another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
    current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
    heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
    Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
    If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
    look at it more closely.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problems with Customer Service AND unexplained charges!

    I've been with Verizon for I-don't-know-how-many years, and through the years you are bound to have a few problems here and there but some of the problems are just ridiculous! It's also the same reocurring problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was with Alltel first, before it was bought out by Verizon. The years I was with Alltel, I didn't have near as many problems. It seems EVERY time I do the smallest change or something to my phone or bill, I get a ridiculous amount of charges that I was NOT aware of, nor told about... EVEN IF I ask "So this isn't going to change my bill, or there will not be any unexpected/unexplained charges that I don't know about?"... BUT not matter how many times I ask... and NO matter how many times I am told "no"... there always is. For example.... last year, I updated and signed a new 2 year contract and purchased the first Driod. Before, my 30 day warranty was up, I was having problems with my Driod, and decided to send it in and get a new one. Before I did this.. I called customer service to make sure there would be no interuption in my bill, and there wouldn't be any unexpect charges, and there would be no difference in anything. I was told there was not, and once I recieved my new phone, just send it in and nothing would be changed. Of course, when I get my bill.. I see I was charged $500 for the new phone. It was explained to me that my credit card was reimbursed (which I never check that card, because I never used it expect to purchase the phone) and that I was recharged for the new phone, since it was a new phone. So I had to fork out the $500 (on top of my bill) and then wait months to get the $100 rebate card. Months after that, I "assumed liablity of my line" because I was on a plan with my family. I decided to have my own line, so I "assumed liability." I was not told that when I did that, I "renewed" my contract date. So I just added 6 more months to my 2 year contract. Was NOT told about that! Then again...... I was recently having problems with my Driod (the screen went black and would not come back on.) I had to turn on an OLD motorola razor, so I would not be without a phone for two days while I was waiting on my phone to come in. As soon as my phone came in, I had my Droid turned back on. I recieved my bill recently, and my bill was $200 over what it normally should be.... so I called in... apparently, when I had my phone replaced, they dropped off my data package and when I recieved my replacement driod, they never put it back on. So I was being charged for alllll my data usage... again I was NOT told about this. I wasn't even aware that they had dropped off my data package, and when/where did they get the authority to do that??? These are just a FEW of the problems that I have had.................................
    Does anyone have these reoccuring problems!?

    I understand that my bill can be viewed online, and I do view it fairly regularly, so if there are any unexplained charges, I can call Verizon asap. The problem does not come from me not understanding my bill, but from customer service. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, and it is a continuing problem. Where did Verizon get the 'OK' to drop my data package off my plan? Who authorized that?
    After calling Verizon and trying to find out the problem, the gentleman told me that when I activated on old phone while I was waiting on my new Droid to arrive, my data package was dropped off and I "should" have been told about that. When I reactiviated my new Droid, I "should" have called and had them restart my data package. I was not aware that when you activate an old phone that data plan is taken off your plan. In all my years of having cell phones, I never make two years with one phone. I have always, at one point, had to turn on an old phone, and my data package has NEVER changed. Why would I have my data package dropped and why would I have to call Verizon to have it restarted. I would never know to do that unless I was TOLD that my data packaged HAD to be re-added when I recieved my new phone, but I was never told of that.
    All of that is beside the point, the point is, Verizon was never given the authorization to change my plan. Never. My bill was taken care of and readjusted, and I am thankful for that. It does not change the fact it is always a hassle with Verizon Customer Service and I am always the one having to PROVE that I am not at fault, or that I was NEVER told of certian things. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE, I AM TOLD "I'M SORRY, THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT."
    "they should" does not help my bill with the extra armount of charges.

  • Problems with dropped calls and no reception on Samsung Continuum

    My mother and I both purchased a Samsung Continuum in late March 2011, and have experienced the same problems with the phone.  The device drops at least 2-3 calls per day, often on the same conversation; we have not found that location or time of day makes a difference.  The phone freezes up frequently, even if no apps are running in the background.  We lose our 3G network reception frequently, and cannot access our texts, emails, or the internet.  The screen saver kicks in even when we are actively dialing a number, or typing in a text message.  The overall performance of the phone is also poor, and it is quite slow much of the time.
    We have raised this issue several times with a representative at one of the Verizon stores, but he states that he can find no problem with the phone, and that these issues may not be covered under our insurance plan.  None of my friends with non-Samsung phones are having the same problems with phone reception and performance.  I am aggravated enough with these issues that I am considering reactivating my old Blackberry, which worked like a charm.
    I am not upset that my phone has not been updated to Android 2.2.  I just want the phone to perform as stated, and not fail at its primary function:  making and receiving phone calls.  I am not certain if these problems originate with the phone, Verizon, or Samsung, nor do I care.  I just want to resolve these issues as soon as possible, or I will have to look at other alternatives.
    Thank you.

    If this doesn't work...now what??? I have a useless $400 plus piece of unreliable junk. My Motorola Razor was ions more reliable than this phone...very, very sad but true.
    What carrier were you using with the Razor? AT&T? Same area?

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • Problems with the richTextEditor and quotes

    Hello
    I'm having problems with quote chars and the richText
    control's htmlText. When users enter quotes into the richTextEditor
    control. The quotes breaks the HTML text, meaning it's no longer
    well formatted. Is there an escape char that I need to use. Or do I
    need to force some kind of refresh on the control prior to using
    the htmlText string?

    I have been using RTE in a content management system and
    found a need to replace non-standard quote characters with proper
    UTF-8 character counterparts. Curly quotes in particular are
    problematic. Use a replace function to substitute non-standard for
    standard characters.

    Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
    but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
    allow me to explain
    lets say I import 100 images
    i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
    as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
    i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
    for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
    one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
    to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
    how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
    i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
    but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
    now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
    any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
    there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
    second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
    thanks for the help

    sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
    i've disabled it now
    thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
    its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
    but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
    because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
    so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
    is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
    its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
    what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.

    Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
    I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
    When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
    I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
    Computer Specs
    Windows XP SP3
    384MB of Ram (works really good)
    USB 1.1 connection
    Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
    IPOD Shuffle Specs
    2nd Generation
    1GB (964MB)
    Version 1.0.4
    unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
    All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
    Itunes Specs:
    Version 8.1.1.10

    This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
    Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.
