Seeing "File has been changed outside of RoboHelp... discard changes?"

I'm using: RoboHelp HTML, Version 10.0.1.292
I'm seeing the following message when I make changes within the RoboHelp project and then choose to close my project without saving the changes. It's not consistent behavior - it happens for some help files in the project but not all help files. If I save changes then it doesn't appear.
My steps:
1 - Open RoboHelp (I'm using RoboHelp 10) and make a simple text change to a help topic.
2 - Choose File > Close Project.
3 - Click No when the "Save changes to the following files?" confirmation appears.
This is when I see the message above. The message is confusing for several reasons: 1) I didn't edit the file outside the project, 2) I'm not sure what changes are being discarded if I click Yes, and 3) what's being loaded when I am closing the project.
Full disclosure - The only file I ever edit outside the project is the CSS and I am guilty of editing the CSS with the project open (to instantly see the results of my changes). Could this be the cause even though I haven't touched the CSS in well over a year? Is there old crud stuck in memory for certain help topics? I've never seen this message before and I've worked on this help project for many years.
Further testing - This message is popping up for a help topic added recently so I can't think it's related to any CSS changes made before the file was added. No other files have been edited outside the project that I can think of.

Maybe with a copy of the project, try deleting the CPD file and then seeing if the offending topic still shows in Project Manager.
Go with Jeff's answer first though.

Autosave/Versions Issue - 'This file has been changed by another application'

In Keynote and Numbers, I often informed that 'The document xxx could not be saved. The file has been changed by another application.' Clicking 'Revert' simply results in 'xxx could not be reverted.' (The particular box below is actually from TextEdit)
This snapshot is from the informative link: http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/lions-versions-feature/
In the above-mentioned site, the author attributes this to 'changing hosts' and working on documents from different hosts. Indeed, I started the document at home and edited it at another location (where I connected to a different Wi-Fi network). Reading system.log from console, I see my host is actually my wireless network, rather than xxx's-MacBook Pro, as usual. Some examples of the errors (from system.log) are...
Aug 16 16:34:14 wireless-s1-no-xxx-xx-xxx sandboxd[1380] ([29]): revisiond(29) deny file-write-unlink /Users/xxx/Desktop/Presentation.key/1301543_55260978-1.tiff

Error Domain=GSLibraryErrorDomain Code=1 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (GSLibraryErrorDomain error 1.)" UserInfo=xxxxxxxx {}
I assume that the link is correct in that setting a new hostname is causing the problem. Unfortunately, I still have no idea how to fix it and I'm uneasy about the reliability of versions/autosave and/or my Time Machine backups.
Any advice, comments, or suggestions that you might have would be appreciated!

Hi Tony,
That's been reported here before, and it's happened to me. Maybe not exactly those words, but something similar, at least. I've always ignored the warning and have had no ill effects to date, that I am aware of. Nor have I ever figured out what the message may have been caused by.

I keep getting a warning stating that the document could not be auto saved in pages. The file has been changed by another application. Then it says click save any way to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes to a version.
What in the heck does all that mean, and why are they trying to behave like a Windows product or a Microsoft office product. I just don't get it.
Why is another application changing my documents? It's like they've created a virus within their own programs. It's a pain in the neck and makes no sense.

I am also having the issue of a warning saying "could not be auto-saved in Pages. The file has been changed in another application. I then hit "save anyway", the warning will go away for a time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hourr, but then the warming reapprears saying the same thing. This is not the case with all Pages documents but it is the case with many.

Cannot save ... The file has been changed by another application.

Hi,
This is to report a wierd behavior when pages is auto saving documents.
An error pops up "Cannot save ... The file has been changed by another application."
Clicking "save anyways" seems to save the document OK, but still this is very anoying.
Saving the document manually (from the menu) isn't showing any error message.
Can someone help with a hint as of when this will be fixed or is there a workaround?
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards,
Michel.
Pages version 5.0.1 (1478) on OS X 10.9

The phrase "by another application" makes it pretty clear that it is not Pages (or, in your case, Keynote).
What seems to be happening is that between the time that Pages opens a document, or saves it and the next time that it attempts to save it, something updates the document's file on the hard drive. Pages, recognizing that the file contains changes for which it is not responsible, presents this alert so you can decide whether you want to overwrite those changes. The usual suspects are backup and synchronization applications, like iCloud, which may not recognize the "Open" flag on the file, but I think it can also be triggered by AppleScripts, Automator workflows and Services, if they perform a "Save" action on the file.

The latest issue of Pages for iPad: 1. Very slow. 2. Late in reacting to typing. 3. When I go to a specific file, informs me that some images were deleted and therefore file has been changed. Then when OPEN option used, opens file slowly. Please, help!

What I have to do to correct the following problems with Pages app. For iPad:
Hesitates to display results of typing, some times for 5-6 characters;
Very slow in opening files;
Before opening of a specific file displays message: DOCUMENT DETAILS. SOME CHANGES WERE MADE TO YOUR DOCUMENT. SOME IMAGES ARE MISSING BECAUSE THEY WERE DELETED FROM YOUR DOCUMENT. We'll, nothing is missing. But it takes forever to open this file. The previous issue of Pages worked very good. But they would not let me to go back to it. Please, help!

Tmobile did the exact same thing to me. So that is customer service at work in general. Nice try though lol.
To the OP
I see you said You paid for shipping, did you Insure it? Claim insurance on it. If you did not, It may not be Verizon or your fault in the sense of the phone not making it to the warehouse. There are people out in the postal world that will steal phones that are not insured. It could have been a Verizon employee, i suppose.
But, if this was to be a bought in court, if you shipped it with out insurance, sadly your at fault.
Do you still have the Serial number of your old phone? If so, you should be able to track where your phone is (if it is reported as a defect/damaged) If so, you may be able to use that as proof. If it does not show up as a defect or what ever they determine use as a loss, then you know it did not make it to the warehouse to be checked in. I would suspect Apple or Verizon could tell you what the Serial number came up as.

Azure Website restarts due to file change when no file has been changed

Hello,
I have a paid subscription site running at LMFitInc.azurewebsites.net. The site seems to randomly restart throughout the day with no obvious reason. Logs (below) indicate that this is in response to a file change though I'm not changing any files & can't
find anything changed searching by date.
Any thoughts?

Thanks Aram, I agree that it looks like a full deployment, however I'm sure I'm not deploying anything. I also filtered the files by date to look for anything that might be changing without my knowledge but came up dry.
I'm in the process of setting this up on a VM where I've got full IIS access with the hope of getting more information.

Can you track a form if the file name has been changed after distribution?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro -- I then used the distribute feature and sent the form to myself using the internal server. After testing the form, and making sure all was good, I copied the attachment from the email I received when I distributed the form to myself, and sent it to my boss (via outlook). He then changed the file name, and sent the form out to our members. Our members are completing this newly-changed document instead of the original form. They are able to "Submit The Form", and it still looks as though its coming back to me via the dialogue box. However, I have no received any responses in my original document's tracking. When I tried submitting this new form myself to see what happened, I just received an message that says "Your response is being queued for submission", but it never tells you whether the form was actually submitted or not. Is there any way that you can track this form even though the file name has been changed? And if people are submitting their forms to me, where are they going?
Please help!
thanks,

I understand that you don't want to redo all the linking with the markers. You can try following (make a copy of your project first to be safe) :
- close your project and quit DVDSP
- move your old asset, and replace it with the new one
- reopen your project
A warning message should tell you that this asset has changed, but your marker will remain at old position. If the asset length are not the same, old length information will be used by DVDSP. To correct this, delete the asset from the timeline, and drop it back to the timeline.
Now you just have to move the marker to the right position.

How can I see that a file has been sent for workflow?

How can I see that a file has been sent for workflow?
During the workflow phase, the file is locked for workflow. But when the file has been approved (or denied) it will have the same status as it did before the workflow process (unless you trigger the workflow by changing its location).
You can see the workflow history in the "My Request" view, but this way of determining whether a file has been approved seems complicated.

Hi,
Thanks for the transaction code, but my question is not answered yet.
For example, I use STMS_IMPORT in the Development environement to see the list of the transport that has been made in that environement.
I now have a list of these transports, with a status. But I wanna know if that transport that has been created in the Development environement has been moved to the Sandbox environement.
STMS_IMPORT shows me only the list of transports that has been created in that environement. It doesn't tell me if a transport in DVL has been moved in the QAS, SANDBOX or PRODUCTION environment.
Thanks again,
Julien

Changing a number in an excel file that has been changed to a PD ?

Changing a number in an excel file that has been changed to a PD ?

Hi llkwx,
If I understand correctly, you've converted an Excel file to PDF, but now need to edit the PDF file? If so, you'll need either update the Excel file and re-create the PDF, or use Acrobat to edit the text in the PDF. If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to try ti for free for 30 days: see http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do? How can I get the data off this disc? I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive. Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth) around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.
Ciao.

Clicking on iTunes ikon and I get the message the item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. What can I do, I can't open Itunes. I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had

When I click on the iTunes ikon I get a box pop up which reads Problem with shortcut. The item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
My computer which is a packard bell vista operating system, recently stopped working as the power supply overheated and blew up and it has recently been sent back to the Know How team at PC world and it seems to be since it came back I now cannot open iTunes. I have also tried to search for iTunes in the search bar, I can see several files, but can't seem to open any of these either. I think that quicktime isn't working, either.
I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had recorded from my collectiong of CD's am going to loose all these now? Can anyone help, with very easy instructions as I really don't know what I am doing??
Thanks

I would copy over the entire thing if you have room. With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account. While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases". If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device. Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!! Enjoy...

The project file ' ' has been renamed or is no longer in the solution.

Hello Folks:
   Developing on Win 8.1 Pro, Visual Studio 2010 Pro, C++.
   I'm revisiting a project I haven't touched in over 2 years.
   Attempts to build result in a pop up displaying this error:
      The project file ' ' has been renamed or is no longer in the solution.
   And the build terminates.
   Things might have changed in the underlying static libraries used by other projects.
      I've looked through the Solution Explorer and the project's properties "Framework and References" window but I don't see anything with such an odd name.
   How do I resolve this problem?
      Thanks
      Larry

Some other things to try:
1. Reload each project in the solution (Right-click/Unload Project; Right-click/Reload project). See if any of them has an issue reloading.
2. If you have multiple projects in the solution: Make a copy of the solution and load the copy. Go in Build Dependencies and uncheck all. Now build each project individually and see which one has the problem. (Some of them might not link
due to missing libraries, but that's OK. You just want to see that the build starts). Double-check which configuration Visual Studio picks when it builds each project; if they are not all the same, the problem is with the project configurations.
3. Load the solution file with the XML editor. (Make sure no other Visual Studio instance has the solution open when you do this). Check each Project line for oddities, specifically, empty or mangled names, or missing project files. Also
check the Configurations. It could be that the problem project doesn't have an equivalent configuration to the one you are building. Sometimes the configuration definitions in the solution file get messed up.

I recently downloaded acrobat reader dc. After download was complete, I could not open PDF files. Error read "Adobe acrobat reader DC could not open this file because its either not a supported file or the file has been damaged". Any suggestions?

HI davidd92392148,
Is this error occurring for all PDF files that you try to open? There is an issue where all file icons can change to the PDF icon after installation, so is it possible that the files you're trying to open have been affected by this issue (and aren't actually PDF files)? Please see Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon.
If that document isn't the key, then please tell us more about these files. Where are they stored? Did they open in previous versions of Reader?
Best,
Sara

How can we find out data in an editable ALV grid has been changed or not?

Hi Experts,
How can we find out whether a data in an editable ALV grid has been changed or not.
I am using the
FM -> REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY_LVC
for ALV display.
I have to chekc whther data has been changed or not befor saving. if changed then only i want to
SAVE
. I cannot use the internal table comparison method for this purpose also i am not using OOP ALV.
So kindly sugest me an alternative.
Thanks and Regards,
Shahana

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I already saw this post.
See this method.
CALL METHOD reuse_alv_grid->check_changed_data
IMPORTING
e_valid = lv_check.
This will update the internal table with the edited values. Then we can go for internal table comparison.
But my scenario will not allow me for itab comparisons.I just want to know the ALV data has been changed or not.
Regards,
Shahana
