WMV files not displayed in compiled CHM

Working in RoboHelp 10. I added a multimedia files to an HTML topic using Insert>Multimedia\demo. I generate a chm file using: Generate> webHelp to CHM Converter
I have a folder of video files (wmv) in the same folder as the help.chm file. The videos show up correctly in the WYSIWYG preview and in the compiled help.chm file when it is opened directly (double click on help.chm). But when I call the help.chm file from my application, the videos do not show up. I looked at the properties of the video and the path is incorrect. For instance, when I open the help.chm directly, the correct path shows: C:\help files\videos\video.wmv But when opened from an application, the path becomes: C:\My Application\videos\video.wmv
Any help is appreciated. Or if there's another way to link these files, I would try it...

Get rid of those absolute paths. Use a path relative to where the CHM is placed. You might also want to ensure that the multimedia files have been added to your baggage files.

Elements Organizer 8 - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide

Hello:
Elements Organizer - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide on Full screen. What's the problem? Wrong codec?

Because WMV's can contain a lot of flags, like DRM, they can exhibit odd behavior, indeed.
Usually, AV files will display in their native resolution, i.e. in their set Frame Size/Aspect Ratio and with their set PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but sometimes those flags are missed, or are altered by other programs.
Remember, WMV's are designed to be streaming delivery-only, and are not intended, or designed to be edited. Most NLE's (Non Linear Editors) will allow them to be edited, but will require extra processing to do so. As is mentioned, WMM is designed around editing that delivery-only format, but most others are not.
There are many other formats/CODEC's, that ARE designed to be edited by the vast majority of NLE's, such as DV-AVI Type II's.
The best workflow is to NOT bring WMV's into the mix, unless one is using WMM exclusively. Converting those to an easily editable format/CODEC will always be the best course of action.
Good luck,
Hunt

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

...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

Hope this will help.

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.

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.
Thanks!
Thanks in advance!

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.

Need help for style not displaying correctly in chm

I’m using RoboHelp HTML version 8. RH8 is dropping a style from my stylesheet. The style appears to be applied correctly when I view a topic (the HTML file) directly with either IE or Firefox browser, and it appears correctly when I view the topic with the “Item View” feature in RH8 (the eyeglasses icon). However, in the compiled HTML help output from RH, the style is not correct. The style in question is a class of style (“desc” for descriptions) for a subset of table data. The “desc” class should have the data in the cell left justified, and the cell width should be 50%. The main parent style for table data (centered text, cell width varies) seems to be applied instead, and the child style for descriptions is not applied. Below I've included a screen shot of a table page as it looks in Item Viewer, then the same page as it appears in the CHM, and finally the style sheet in its original state before being added to RH.
Here are things I’ve checked for:
·         The project is large, with over 6300 topics and a compiled chm of 5560 KB. RH crashes when I try to apply style sheets or master pages to multiple topics from the Topic List. However, I created a much smaller test project with 122 topics and still get the dropped style.
·         The style sheets were created outside of RH, and are also used for presenting the same content over the web outside of RH. The styles display fine in the other context through a browser. I have not modified the style sheet in RH, but I have opened it in RH. I’ve also tried deleting and re-copying the style sheet into the project.
·         There is another set of styles applying to the tables, for table rows. There is a “tr” class for the heading and classes for rotating background colors. These child styles appear correct with no problems. Every row in a table belongs to a child class of row styles. In the case of table data styles, most cells require the parent “td” style and only a subclass require the child “desc” style. It’s the “desc” style that isn’t showing up in the chm. Is this a clue?
·         Multiple style sheets per topic. Apparently only one style sheet can be used per topic. In my project, I have two types of topics, called schema pages and table pages, with a style sheet for each. The same master page is used for both types. The master page uses the tables style sheet. Therefore, the tables topics (the ones with the dropped style) use only one style sheet, but it is specified in both the master page and the topic itself.   Is this a problem?
·         Reviewing the style sheet in RH. When I inspect the style sheet through RH’s Project Manager, the table data and table row styles appear under “Other” and not under “Table.” Is this a clue?
The special formatting of the description cells in our table-heavy project is essential. I’ve spend days trying to troubleshoot this problem and would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Hi jensei,
Thanks for that. When I took that screenshot - bizarrely those cells all had exactly the same html. I can't easily prove that now as I have tinkered with that test page quite a lot since. I started thinking maybe I could do something "clever" with table styles to save me the joyless task of manually editing all tables in my project. In the end I gave up and decided to devote a couple of hours to going through and reformatting all tables with a font that was the same size and of a similar type face to the rest of the page. Obviously not an option in your monster project, but it worked for me.
I've seen so many random results here that I can't get my head around what exactly is going wrong - for me the issue seems connected with style = none in a table.
Anywhere else on the page, style = none yields text with font = Tahoma 10pt.
But in the table cells that text sometimes rendered ok in CHM, but often it would randomly appear far larger.
So for me the cure was to format all tables with font = arial 10pt (rendered result is similar, but somehow different enough to stop the erroneous size rendering).
That's as far as I got - as usual with time being very precious, I've had to curb my geekiness and crack on.
Cheers,
Andy

.NRW files not displaying thumbnails in Bridge

.NRW RAW files from Nikon P7800 do not display thumbnails or metadata in Bridge. PsCC, Bridge and CR 8.3 are all showing as up to date on CC Desktop App. Files display correctly in Lr 5.3. Any suggestions ?

I have:
PhotoshopCC>Edit>Preferences>CameraRaw>8.3.0.141
BridgeCC>Edit>CameraRawPreferences>8.2.0.94
The computer found 6 files named Camera Raw.8bi. They are in pairs , two in the CS5 folder and two in the CS6 folder, two in the CC folder. One of each pair has >Program Files(x86)> The other one has >Program Files>.
When I go to C:\ Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ only one (Camera Raw.8bi) file shows. This was created on 18 March 2013 and modified on 3 December 2013.
If I go to C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ another (Camera Raw.8bi) file appears, created and modified same date and time as the first one.
Is this making any sense ? Thanks for your help.
It appears Bridge is using CR 8.2, the question is why and how do I persuade it to preference CR 8.3
By the way, I failed to mention it previously CR is converting and editing the NRW files normally, I just can't see their thumbnails in Bridge.

Raw files not displayed in preview

In Elements 10, are raw files STILL not displayed in preview in Windows 7?

Thanks for your reply, Ken, but when I do the Get photos-From Files and folders thing Elements did the same thing it does for jpeg files but then I still can't see the raws. HOWEVER, this morning after reading your message I went back to Elements to get that message that Elements gave me after trying to get the raw files, so that I could quote it to you, and there were all the raw files that I had gotten and tried to view yesterday. So dawn breaks on Marblehead and I realize that maybe Elements has to be refreshed in order to see the raw files. Thanks Ken!

them from there as a .swf file - dump them into dreamweaver - and
away we go. all has been going fine - my portfolio covers 4 pages -
first two have worked fine - the final two simply will not display
when previewed in browser - or uploaded via ftp to a site area.
the graphics have all been created in similar ways - the
export functions for .swf have not been altered in any way at all -
but still not displaying. when i open up flash player to preview
the file - again blank - when i do the same with the first two .swf
files, no issues!!
I have recreated the html files to see if that was the issue
... to no avail.
I also dumped the swfs into the 2 html files that are working
fine - still no luck.
tis driving me mad - any ideas guys??? as i said - they are
just vector logos as with the first two pages so not sure what on
earth is happening!
incase this helps with any ideas....
this page as you can see works fine:
http://www.justsoho.com.au/test_portfolio.html
this one doesn't! :

PDF files not displaying correctly

I have adobe reader 8 and my operating system is Vista. Every time I try to view a PDF file my screen gets messed up. My color quality goes from Highest 32 bit color to the lowest setting. I then either have to reboot my system, or go into my NVIDIA display properties and reset to to highest 32 bit color quality. my resolution is 1440x900. Why are my PDFS not displaying , and my color quality keep going to lowest, every time i use PDF?? .I

When I try to initiate Adobe Reader 8.1 in vista the window opens then immediately closes. Also when I try to open any PDF file the system locks up and I have to close whatever program is running from Task Manager. I have uninstalled old versions and reinstalled Adboe Reader three times with no error messages and no problems. I'm the system administrator so this should not be an issue. Help!!
Thanks!

Colors in pdf files not displayed correctly on linux acroread

I have recently observed that the colors in certain pdf files are not displayed correctly in acroread on Linux. Other readers such as evince get it right. Examples are a presentation with white arrows on a black background which come out as black on black. I suspect, but have not proved, that the files were produced on Mac OS. I see this in acroread version 9.5.1 on a couple of versions of Linux. I googled this but could find no-one else mentioning it. Has anyone else seen it. Looks like a serious bug to me.

Does this happen with other PDFs on the server? You might check out the Adobe forums.

How can I make .PDF files not display inline in an Outgoing mail?

I want Mail to NOT display PDF files in outgoing messages. It will keep the icon placeholder if it's more than two pages, but not for one page PDFs. How can I stop this? It makes formatting kind of difficult.
Thanks

I knew. But I'm hoping for a way to make this the global default since ages...
