The 'Publish' command's progress bar in FM11

Trying out Tech Communicator Suite 4, I just tried doing File > Publish on a FrameMaker book, and asking it to convert it into .CHM files.
It pops up a "Please wait..." dialog with a stripey animated progress bar that is a 100% right away. It's been sitting there like that for about 10 minutes now (whilst firing off Distiller in the background from time to time).
I appreciate that it may take a few mins to chomp through a big book and spit out the .chm,
but I was expecting a slightly better progress dialog than what I'm seeing!
Has anyone else on the forum used this workflow? Is this the way it always behaves? I was expecting the progress bar to at least, well, you know... show some progress

You'll need to create a project in RoboHelp first that has all your definitions set, then export your settings in a .isf file that FM uses to do the help generation. It's not a 1-stop process (at least initially). You also don't get the same degree of control over the output as you would in the normal FM to RH workflow.

  • Why the Q, Not a Progress Bar?

    I have a page-o-Qs for the Quicktime movies on my iWeb page. Yes, the movies are a bit over 12MBs, but that's because I want them to retain quality. I am not willing to showcase pixelated junk.
    The trade-off seems to be that my Movies page is a page full of the Quicktime symbols -- a sure turn-off. What I want my visitors to see is a box with a progress bar showing that the movie is loading.
    Out of the question alternatives: Links to YouTube or Vimeo. I want these to live on my website only.
    My Thinking: Create a page per movie? In that case, I'd need to nest some movies. I will try that while waiting for a reply.
    Thanks in Advance!

    In case you're not aware of +.Mac Web Gallery+ as an alternative...
    You could publish your movies (via iMovie '08) to a .Mac Web Gallery and make a simple hyperlink to it from your web site. Here's info about .Mac Web Gallery:
    Or you could pseudo embed a .Mac Web Gallery into your site. Here's a video tutorial briefly showing that about half-way through:
    And to really embed a .Mac Web Gallery into a web page, use iWeb 2's HTML Snippet window:

  • HT1379 i tried to update and there was an error, i tried again. when i tried to start, i get the chime and a progress bar that goes about 25% then disappears and the computer turns off. nothing works. it does this every time i try to start

    i just received a mac book pro from my dad. while trying to get used to it i tried to upgrade the os which failed because of an error. i tried again. when i tried to start later, i get a chime, and progress bar, and a spinning wheel. after 1 minute the bar is only progressed 25% then it disappears and the screen goes black. none of the keys work. I tried to re boot and the same thing happens. what do i do?

    If it's new and you don't have anything on it yet, you can reinstall the OS from scratch. You don't say what OS or model, but try booting while holding down the Command and R keys. If you get the recovery partition, use Disk Utility to reformat the disk then reinstall.
    This will wipe out everything on the drive though.

  • HT201269 my 5s broke so i got a new one and the info isnt transfering the phone just shows the apple and a progress bar but the bar isnt moving what so ever

    Hey there ddjild,
    It sounds like you are restoring your previous phones backup to your new one, but the progress bar appears to be stuck. According to this article:
    iOS: Apple logo with progress bar after updating or restoring from backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3681
    the process can take from several minutes to an hour to complete. The amount of time depends on the number of files on the device and whether you're erasing, updating, or upgrading your iOS.
    If the device has stil not finished the process, I would recommend resetting the device with the following article:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If that does not get the phone booted back to the Lock Screen so you can get to your Home Screen, I would next try putting the device into recovery mode and attempting another restore from that backup:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • What's with the 12 hour Export progress bar?

    That's what it says, and that's after two hours of trying to encode a 20 minute clip using Export to QuickTime Conversion. It's 11% done. At this rate, it should be ready after midnight, EST. This can't be normal, or is it?
    I did increase the bit rate and the dimensions, but those were the recommendations of the web viewer page (ExposureRoom) which I intend to upload the file to.
    Is there an easier to get a web file with decent size and resolution?

    Yeah, I think about faster, newer Macs as well, but you know what? In OS 9 the NLE I use (not FCE) has an encoder called Cleaner EZ - now out of business and support and updates - that gives me a compressed file in about 35 mins. It's fine for just putting something up that's casual, but I need a file that's sharp, since there's text in a PowerPoint presentation that people have to read. That's why I thought FCE/QuickTime would do the job.
    Maybe it will in the end, but at present, I'm looking at 17 hours at 15% - something's amiss.,,in fact, it's absurd..would Apple make a product that took till next week to render files? And this 2003 MDD isn't all that old, really. (And I can't afford a new Pro either). I don't think its the computer. I also tried this footage in Compressor.... an MPEG 4 fast encode - and it split the video and audio into two files How am I supposed to get that up on the Web? A second try with FCE at normal settings for QT conversion only gave me a 56 MB file - looked awful.
    Also, I should add that my original footage is SD. Generally that comes off fine when compressed from the 4.4 GB for the 20 mins. down to about 500MB, or even less. What I'm working with is a self-contained movie at the orginal size, of4.4 GB.
    Any help appreciated,
    thanks,
    k.

  • My MacBook freezes at startup, before getting to the Apple logo and progress bar.  Help!

    I have a black backlit screen with nothing on it. It happens after turning it on, it chimes and then nothing.... I have tried restarting it by holding down the power button, nothing, same issue.
    It is an aluminum MacBook with OSX Lion.

    Sounds like something is badly wrong with your system.  First step would be to start up from your Mac OS X install disk, by inserting the disk and holding down 'c' at startup.  Select your language, then choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  In Disk Utility, choose your hard drive and click the Repair Disk button.
    If problems are repaired, try restarting and see if the problems are gone.
    If problems couldn't be repaired, you can try DiskWarrior, which can sometimes repair problems that Disk Utility cannot.  However, if nothing works, you probably are going to have to erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch.  Hopefully you have backups!
    If there were no errors, or they were repaired successfully but that didn't fix the problem, then you should try booting into safe mode by holding down the shift key at startup.  If that works, you may have some bad third-party software.  What that might be is hard to say, though.
    If nothing works, try rebooting from the Mac OS X install disk again and install Snow Leopard right on top of your current system.  That shouldn't disturb your apps or data, but of course, if you don't have backups, you're in trouble if something goes wrong.

  • Lock the progress bar in the playbar (Captivate 8)

    I'm looking for a way to lock the progress bar in the playbar in Captivate 8. This has come up a few times in regards to older versions of Captivate, but I haven't seen anything for 7 or 8 yet.
    I've tried this: Captivate 6 Help me Lock the Progress Bar in the Playbar, which relates to ver 6, but seemed to kinda do what I'm looking for, but not exactly.
    However, the Playbar Lock Widget seems to do exactly what I'm looking for (Flash-Factor   » Playbar Lock Widget (Cp5, Cp5.5)) but is for 5 and 5.5 only. According to this threadCaptivate 6 playbar lock, the widget doesn't work on 6, so I assume it doesn't work on 7 or 8, either. I've emailed the developer (Whyves) the other day, but considering the last activity on that site was a couple of years ago, I'm not really expecting a response.
    Does anyone know if there is an easy-ish way to do this or if there is an updated version of this widget available?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Lilybiri,
    Thank you very much for your response. I realize it was very unlikely that particular widget would be updated, but was hoping someone has since been able to make something like that work in Captivate 8 (or even Cp7).
    I am actually working on a project that must be completed in a linear fashion the first time through. It consists of three parts, with each part consisting of a short video presentation followed by a couple of knowledge check/quiz questions. Learners must correctly answer the questions before they can proceed to the next part, and should be able to review the video they just watched (or any previous video) at any time, but they must not be able to skip ahead to the next video until they've correctly answered the KC questions for each part, or to skip the video the first time through.
    Enabling remediation helps in that it allows learners to re-watch the video before and even during the knowledge checks without getting 'stuck' on a question they've answered correctly already. However, it seems that forcing a linear flow while still giving learners an idea of their progress through the course via a progress bar without allowing them to use it to skip ahead has proven very difficult to do.
    The widget seemed to perfectly fit the bill in that it would disable 'scrubbing' with the progress bar until learners completed the activity. Then, once they've completed it, they could now use the progress bar to review the material again if they wished.
    Oh, well... we'll keep digging and hoping that maybe someone out there with more knowledge and skill in this than us figures out a way to make it work.
    Thanks again!

    Hi Mike
    Thanks for your reply
    I know that I can change height progress bar which is in modern palette. But if i customize it doesn't look like the system progress bar. 
    So what I have to do to make the progress bar similar to system progress bar which is in the image that I send you. If you have the customized control please send it to me.
