Re: False positive on missing link to a variable set

I don't have Analyzer but I'm getting something similar. I imported FrameMaker files into a project and now when I open the Link Viewer I get a broken link to a variable set that doesn't exist. :?: The link looks like this: /Project/<VariableSets/<variables file that does not exist.flvar> The option...

Re: Unlink to Imported Files Source

There is a way but only if you are happy to edit the code. Open the TOC in the text editor. The second line should have a reference to the source file - remove that reference. For example, in the following snippet of code, you would remove the sourceDocument=="C:\temp\test_Mar_2011.docx" ...

Re: Output file name contains a dot (.)

I found a workaround that works for Flare 12. (I don't know if it works in other versions.) Basically, if I enter "Software_Manual_v1.23.4" in the Output File field for my PDF target file I get a file named "Software_Manual_v1.pdf". However, if I enter "Software_Manual_v1.23...

Re: Thumbnail Not Displaying Full Size When Clicked

Jim,

Did you ever get an answer? I'm having the same issue. I'd like to get the images to pop-up to to the same maximum size (e.g., 1024 pixels) but I don't see any way of doing that in Flare.

Thanks,
Brian

Pre tag paragraphs are messed up in Word outputs

I have another issue with Word outputs. :( I use the “pre” style for code outputs and when I create my Word outputs I get spaces added to the second and following lines.

I've developed a very inelegant solution to do this. What I did is create two conditions for images: ...

Re: Is it me? Or is it Flare 12?

I'm definitely finding Flare v12 buggier than v11. For example, just this morning Flare crashed when I clicked Ignore All during a spell check. (This is not the first time that this has happened.) I've also had issues with my print outputs (as I mentioned here https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewt...

Re: Error: "Build Failed: The directory is not empty"

Hmmm. I'm starting to think it's a Flare 12 issue because it only happened a handful of times with Flare 11 but on Flare 12 it's a daily occurrence for me. Also, it only happens on my print outputs and never the online ones.

Yea, that's what happened. Somehow, the test TOC I created to test print output became the master TOC. :oops: The solution was thinking about something other than Flare (lunch in my case :wink: ).
