Robohelp HTML 8 - Generating files with apostrophe in file name
Before I start, I have read this thread
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1062904#1062904 and several others, yet I still have questions.
Previously I used Robohelp 5x, which worked perfectly. Our user manuals are in MS Word and each have several topics that have apostrophes in the topic name (that are necessary in the topic). Robohelp 5x would import the Word Document without issue and create HTML files that automatically replaced the apostrophe with an underscore. All references (Index, TOC, etc) to those files also automatically changed to underscore.
Fast Forward to Robohelp 8.0.2 (yes, I have the update). Even if I go into the options and make sure "Use Underscores in file names" is selected - it no longer replaces the apostrophe with an underscore (though it does replace the spaces with underscores).
Locally, when I generate the online help (WebHelp) and put it on our local webserver - it works just fine. Even with the apostrophes in the file names and references.
However, when the WebHelp files are hosted at our server hosting facility, any links within the Webhelp to files with an apostrophe result in a 404 error. I have searched and searched to see if there is some kind of server setting to allow these special characters to be recognized in the file name but have not had any luck.
Per the link at the beginning of this post, the issue in that thread was resolved by changing the file name of the HTML files. I attempted to change the file name of the HTML files that RoboHelp created. However as far as I can tell there is no way to do this within RoboHelp 8. If I attempt to do it outside of RoboHelp 8, I need to import all of the "new" HTML files and all references (Table of Contents, Index, etc) now show broken links and need to be re-linked to this new topic. This is not an option. I have 12 user manuals that are updated on a regular basis and the renaming\relinking process would take forever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Noob
I was able to log into the server hosting facility and look at the html files themeslves.
It appears that at some point (between when I created them locally and now) all of the apostrophes in the file names were changed to "Æ". This blew my mind. And sure enough if I plug in the URL and replace the apostrophe with "Æ" the page shows up just fine.
From what I've been reading it looks like that may be related to the conversion from MS Word and "Smart Quotes". I'm looking into that now, but any help would still be great.
Thanks,

Importing CD to Artist folder\Album folder\file with track number and name:
I have a problem then importing my cd’s to my harddisk using iTunes.
On my previous pc I got what I want, Artist folder, Album folder and file with track number and name:
e.g.
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\01 Blues Boys Tune.mp3
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\02 Bad Case Of Love.mp3
D:\My Music\B.B. King\Blues On The Bayou\03 I'll Survive.mp3
But now I get:
D:\My Music\Compilations\Blues On The Bayou\01 Blues Boys Tune.mp3
D:\My Music\ Compilations \02 Bad Case Of Love.mp3
D:\My Music\ Compilations \03 I'll Survive.mp3
In iTunes my settings are Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced: iTunes Music folder: D:\My Music and checkmark in both: “Keep iTunes Music folder organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library”.
My version of iTunes is 8.0.1.11
Thanks in advance
PeterIt will depend on the album. Gracenote considers anthologies, a collection of tracks by the same artist taken from different albums, as a compilation. In iTunes the compliation setting should really only be applied to a collection of tracks by different artists.

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path
Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path using any of these perfectly normal methods:
1. double-click file in the Finder (e.g in a Folder on your Mac or on your Mac desktop etc.)
2. select file and choose "File... Open" command-o in the Finder
3. drag file to the application icon in the Finder.
4. Select file in Bridge and double-click, choose File.. Open.. or Drag icon to InDesign icon in dock.
If you try to open an ID file named with a "#", you will get an error message "Missing required parameter 'from' for event 'open.'"
This happens to any InDesign file that has a "#" (pound sign, number sign, or hash) in the filename or in the file path (any parent folder).
To reproduce
Name an InDesign file Test#.idd Try to open it in the Finder or Bridge (as opposed to the "Open" dilaog of InDeisng itself).
"Solution"
The file WILL open using File... Open... command-o while in InDesign application.
Rename the file or folders that have a "#" (shift-3) in the filename.
Report to Adobe if it bugs you.
This does not occur in "plain" Leopard 10.5 nor Tiger 10.4
Untested in Panther or before and
Untested with CS3 and earlier in Snow Leaopard.
Anyone have those and want to try this... ?In case this really bothers you: we've added a workaround for this into Soxy. If you enable the option, these documents will open fine on double-click.
You need Soxy 1.0.7 from:
http://www.rorohiko.com/soxy
Go to the 'Soxy' - 'Preferences' - 'Other' dialog window, and enable 'Open InDesign via Script'
(Irrelevant background info (it's all invisible to the user): the workaround works by special-casing how Soxy opens documents in InDesign: instead of using AppleScript, Soxy will use ExtendScript to instruct InDesign to open the document - which works fine). -
I can't decipher where (and why) the program is putting the HDR image in the grid. I stack all of my HDR source images so they are easy to track and manage. Other apps/plugins allow you to stack resulting images with their source image. That would be great if there's a way to set that in LR preferences.
Thanks, but this doesn't really answer the question about stacking the HDR file with the source files. Yes, it does put the file in the same folder, however many of my folders have 100s of images (that often look similar) and as far as I can tell, LR places them randomly in the sort order. It doesn't appear to put them at the beginning or end of the sort (usually by date), but somewhere randomly in the middle. Even if it could be made clear what method it is using to sort them, that would help locate one file among hundreds.
Ideally, however it should allow you to stack with the stacked source files. Is there anyway to do this? If not, is it a feature that could be requested? -
Creating IPA file with Multiple SWF files using ADT
Iam successfully able to create ipa files using the ADT package but my next requirement is to create an IPA file with multiple swf files.I think it might be easy if your SWF files are regular the tough part is my swf file has lot of action script in it so the only option is to through the command prompt and using the ADT package of Adobe AIR.So now i have 10 SWF files like this and iam creating ipa file for each swf seperatly but now I want to put all of the swf files into one ipa file.Please let me know if i was not clear in my description
I think you are trying to explain how to load two swf's one with action
script and loading an other swf file which should be non action script.If
you read my requirement carefully.I have all the same type of swf's and
these swf are automatically created as a form of output for xcelsius dash
board software.Iam capable of creating individialu ipa files from these swf
files.So when I try to combine the same kind of swf files the first error
its giving is the file name which I have used in the xml.in the main file
name for the swf file its not considering the two swf file name in the
initial window.so the adt package in the command line is not understanding
the file name from the xml and the command prompt and giving error this swf
file does not exist.So please consider how to combine two swf files with AS3
into one ipa file.These swf files are not editable,Let me know if you find
any idea to achieve this -
Cannot open a a file with a specific file name
I have 1 person who cannot open or save a file with a specific file name on his computer. If he does it at another computer he is fine, no one else has this issue. The error he gets when trying to open the file is { Cannot create file:missingperson.pdf. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder}
Any ideas on how to resove this. He gets this file sent to him on a regular basis, and cannot have the file name changed.
Thank youI have run across something similar. Assuming that this PDF they are getting through email is the same name, then this is how I fixed my problem.
When you get a file in an email and open it, it writes that file to the Temporary Internet Files folder. Lets assume the file name is filename.pdf If you open a file from email with the same name at a later time, it creates a file called filename(1).pdf. Open a file with the same name again, it creates filename(2).pdf, and so on. Once you get to filename(99).pdf, it will start giving you a lot of trouble. When I cleared out those filename.pdf's, everything went back to normal.
Hope this helps. -
Zip.ZipInputStream cannot extract files with Chinese chars in name
Dear friends,
Peace b upon u!
I am trying to read a zip file (~3000 files)containing one
or more files with Chinese, Japanese or Korean names, the
getNextEntry method throws an IllegalArgumentException as below after extracting just ~300 files as below:-
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.getUTF8String(Unknown Source)
at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.readLOC(Unknown Source)
at java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.getNextEntry(Unknown Source)
at testZipFiles.getZipFiles(testZipFiles.java:65)
at testZipFiles.main(testZipFiles.java:18) issue:java.util.zip.ZipInputStream cannot extract files with Chinese chars in name
Category java:classes_util_jarzip
Plz let me know 1 of the ways which I can solve this issue.
1)if someone has JAVA DCOMPILER plz send the SOURCE Code
for the ZipInputStream.class to me..I need to edit it using 1 of the solutions as provided below which I googled.
2)If there is an alternate or upgraded java.util.zip.ZipInputStream or any org.apache.tools.zip.* package which can read such files..If yes where I can download the same on net.
3)Any other easier solution, which can let me extract all files (by excluding Chinese files thru CATCH) without the extractor process to fail altogether.
On net I found that the only solution with this is:-
- edit the new ZipEntry, remove the static initializer that calls
the native methods initIDs().
this step seems a bit scary, but it's according to the
workaround
to bug #4244499 (the workaround of Olive64, THU JUN 05
01:55 P.M. 2003),
that handles a similar bug at the ZipOutputStream.
Now you have a ZipInputStream that supports multi-bytes
entry names.
to extract the zip file, using the fixed code that is offered
above,
create a function that gets an "encoding" string, a "destPath"
string
and a "sourceFile" (zipped) and does :
ZipInputStream zipinputstream = null;
ZipEntry zipentry;
zipinputstream = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream
(sourceFile),encoding);
zipentry = zipinputstream.getNextEntry();
while (zipentry != null) { //for each entry to be extracted
String entryName = zipentry.getName();
int n;
FileOutputStream fileoutputstream = new FileOutputStream
( destPath + entryName );
while ((n = zipinputstream.read(buf, 0, 1024)) > -1)
fileoutputstream.write(buf, 0, n);
fileoutputstream.close();
zipinputstream.closeEntry();
zipentry = zipinputstream.getNextEntry();
}//while
zipinputstream.close();Hi friend,
We'd better to ask one question in each thread. If you have another issue, you can consider to open up a new thread in this forum.
Now for the first question, do you mean this picture? It throws access exception in archive2.
If so , because your extractPath is a path, not a directory.You should add +"xxx.zip". For more information, please refer to
ZipFile.Open
Method (String, ZipArchiveMode).
For the second question, you can use the following code to skip the error message.
while (true)
try
//do something;
catch (Exception ex)
{ continue; }

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.
Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

Connect the music file with the artwork file post-computer-crash?
I want to retrieve artwork after restoring my computer?
So my computer (where itunes app data was stored) and my external hardrive (where my itunes library was stored) crashed, but luckily I had my itunes library was stored on dropbox so I have that uploading to my revived computer!
I have access to all my "old computer's" files (via a mounted image file that looks just like an external drive H: )
The "old computer" itunes used my dropbox folder for the library (J:work\Dropbox\Allen's Transfer Folder\iTunes)
my "New comuter" uses a local folder but the contents are exactly the same (C:\Companies\Dropbox\Allen's Transfer Folder\iTunes)
How can I get the artwork data from my "old computer" onto my "new computer" so that itunes will connect the music file with the artwork file?
is there a data file and will they automatically sync to the artwork if they are in different locations?
Thank you for your help, Allenpfanzier wrote:
… is there any reason i shouldn't delete the artwork folder?
All of my music is from CDs, so all of my cover art are scanned images that I added to the music files in iTunes. My Album Artwork folder is heavily populated nonetheless. Thus, it stands to reason that if you delete the folder, just like every other default item in your iTunes folder it will be recreated when you launch iTunes. If I recall correctly, that folder also holds the data files for building your CoverFlow.

itunes only demarcates songs whose files are missing with an exclamation point after i click on the song. otherwise everything appears as normal. if i quit itunes and reopen it, nothing is marked with the exclamation point until i click on it.
I personally have never had an issue with missing song links, but based on what I had read on the Macworld forums over the years, when links are lost, people start seeing /!\ next to several tracks in their iTunes library. Of course, most of the instances that I have read about have been after iTunes updates so perhaps it is during the library updating after a software update that causes the automatic detection of broken links. Otherwise, it does make sense that iTunes would not check a link until the user selects an unlinked song, because iTunes does not, and should not, scan your entire library for no apparent reason. -
I have a Robohelp 11 HTML project which uses merged CHM files. I have a help build script which compiles this project using the RH command-line utility. Whenever this runs, RH overwrites the names of the merged CHM files in the .hhp file to use absolute paths (even if the .hhp file is read-only!). I've searched Adobe forums and this appears to be a RH bug. In my case, it doesn't stop the project performing the merge, but it looks like it causes problems when searching the resultant parent CHM (topics matching the search simply don't show up in child projects), as the search cannot necessarily find the merged files referenced in the .hhp when someone performs the search on a different machine. I notice that if I compile via the RH UI, the .hhp entries are not overwritten. So, a workaround is to do the build manually. However, we'd like to automate our help build. Is there any way to prevent the command-line compiler overwriting the merge file entries in the .hhp?
This was a problem with Rh9, see Item 13 at Using RoboHelp 9
I haven't seen it reported since but maybe something at that link will help.

S3 backup can't upload files with apostrophes in the name
s3 backup doesn't seem to be able to upload any file with an apostrophe in the name. I see a load of "Unable to upload 'foo bar's.file' to Amazon S3" warnings in the event log. The log is littered with file names that contain an apostrope. This seems to be the thing that stands out in common with all of the failed transfers. Is there some way to workaround the problem besides renaming all files containing apostropes?
It seems like an easy fix to properly escape single quotes in the name for upload though, but I suppose that I'll need a firmware fix for a change like that.Hello spitzcor
Have you checked your Amazon S3 account to see if the files have actually uploaded to the bucket or if they did indeed fail to upload?
I also recommend that you contact support to have an incident created. There is a hotfix for 4.1.108 that updates the Amazon S3 applications API version and might help with what you are experiencing, although it is intended for a seperate Amazon S3 issue.
