MadCap Software Forums

Thank you, Nita! I thought it might be something like that. Heck, the programmers can't think of everything.

I'll give your idea a shot the next time I have some time to work on this.

Hope to see you next year, wherever MadWorld will be. I was one of the ones who got stuck at DFW due to hail ...

I've been assigned the task of developing a quick start guide for one of our customers. They told us what they wanted: Printed, simplified instructions on 5x7 cards, laminated, spiral binding at the top.

I've got most of the problems solved, with the least waste possible. I found an 8-1/2 x 11 ...

After explaining myself again to Madcap Tech Support (via email), they finally had their own Aha! moment, realizing the obstacles in my way (if the old server is gone, I can't open the project file at all), and that the only logical way to fix this would be to edit the .flprj file to change the ...

Problem is, when I try to open a project that can no longer point to the TFS server because the old server is gone, Flare pretty much locks up for about 10 minutes or so when it finally times out. Tech support agreed that my process might work, but have problems down the road. Looking at the flprj ...

I think I found a solution (I was getting impatient, so I started looking around), but I want someone in the community to issue an OK on this before I proceed to fix several hundred project files:

First, I right-clicked the project file (.flprj) and unchecked the Read Only checkbox (basically ...

I'm a Flare 2017r3 user. My IT organization, to satisfy needs of our software developer community, has upgraded to TeamFoundation 2018. Is there a bulk method to change server paths from the old to the new (yes, they did change URLs, too...). At present, I can't open my projects. Am I going to have ...

Thank you, sir (I assume "sir" because of the roboHAL name)! All three have value, though am leaning toward 1 or 3. With option "3," I can store the completed project zips (with revision number in filename) in the company-mandated document management system (M-Files). I'll let you know what I come ...

I am a complete newbie to source control. I was able to successfully add my projects to the software development group's TFS server and am generally pretty happy with how it's working, though I have noticed the much slower checkin process since moving to Flare 12.

Being a newbie to source control ...

I had my IT folks boost my RAM from 8 GB to 12, which seems to have helped some.

My Flare 12 installation is positively glacial. The mouse cursor is jerky (with big delays in response), and response to button presses can be measured in seconds. I'm just about ready to go back to using 11.

Could the problem be that 11 is still installed? I'd hate to have to uninstall it only to ...
