What features would you like implemented in future versions of Flare?

I put a similar post in the Flare Slack channel but figured there is a different audience on the two platforms.

I imagine fix the bugs will be one, but what new features would you like to see?

Woohoo. While its mainly been life as normal in Adelaide, it's great for the fog to be lifting from Melbourne. it did, however, answer Dan's question about who'd want to live in South Australia. A lot of Victorians, Dan, a lot. We had to lock them up at the border ;-) HAHA! I used to live in Happy ...

Hi peeps! We are looking for a mid-level tech writer for a six-month contract in Melbourne, Australia (finally coming out of hard-lockdown). Madcap Flare skills preferred so you can get to writing sooner rather than later. Cheers, Gary https://www.seek.com.au/job/50818274?type=standout ...

If it's thumbnail size, you may have the Show All Images As Thumbnails option selected.

Can anyone who has successfully bound a project to Git/BitBucket please, please help me! I don't know what I am doing wrong. Someone else in the company helped me set this up. They use Git and BitBucket, but not Flare, so I've relied 100% on his expertise to even get as far as I have. I'm a pretty ...

It's been a while since I've looked, but I believe this is only possible if you set up synonyms for particular words. Project Organiser > Advanced > Synonym In the Directional tab, add the word Printer and ensure that the Stem checkbox is ticked. http://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2017r3/Content ...

Just as a test, what happens if you remove the width: 203px;height: 113px; from the image? Does the full image with bottom border display?

Thanks, Ramon. Good information to have.

If I understand you correctly, you would have imported your files using an Import file (Project Organiser > Imports). There are two options in the Source Project tab: 1. Delete stale files 2. Delete unreferenced files So, if the files in your child project are still globally connected, then using ...

Try a new target. That worked with an issue I had yesterday.

We use SVN and have integrated it with Flare. No major horror stories to report although we have dipped our toes in the water by including some smaller projects first. The only things I have been concerned about are wholesales changes where we have found it better to make changes progressively ...

Happens in mine, too, but not for everybody using Windows 10 64-bit in the office. Also happens with 2017 versions (all of them released thus far).

No solution aside from resizing the Flare window then maximising it again (repeat every ~3 minutes).

From memory, the creepy zombie image is the original Madcap template one. I imagine you created a new drop-down class at some point with the new image. There may be a difference between. It could also be that the creepy one was created in an earlier version of Flare and, thus, the code for it may be ...

Do you have a backup of the project anywhere?

At this point I can only recommend that you take it up with Madcap support. I'd suggest it 'might' be a Windows 7 thing due to issues we've had in the past.

Can you display your code and ensure you include the table header and the first table row?

Thanks for the tip. Is there a proper procedure for uninstalling/reinstalling? I'm guessing that uninstalling won't delete my project and content files; is that right? Correct. If in doubt, though, take a backup of your project files. As for the procedure, I would normally uninstall Flare, reboot ...

Just the usual solutions here:
Uninstall / reinstall Flare
Reinstall .Net (Dot Net)

zoltan__v wrote:I've tried setting it to 100% and even playing with the fixed width (either percentage or pixel) assigning more width to the first column, but unfortunately with no luck.

So if you set the first column width to something ridiculous like 80 or 90% it still happens?

Flare 11.1.2 (32-bit) on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit I would uninstall Flare and absolutely reinstall .Net as well. If you have a licence to upgrade to Flare 12 I'd do that or upgrade to Windows 10 (but these don't help with your immediate problem). Wish I had something better for you but I'd start with ...

Hi Shawn, You can switch off the message about getting the latest in the repository by opening a source control bound project then accessing the File menu > Options > Source Control tab. Tick the checkbox for "Do not prompt to get latest when opening source control bound projects" Note: I am ...

The method we use is: 1. In the parent/master project, apply a GPL condition against all relevant files. 2. In the child project, create a single import file and set it up to import ALL files (i.e., *.*) that have the GPL condition tag applied. Typically, this means that each child project only has ...

- I've run a test with your code and my CHM works fine (both heading and text). - What version of Flare are you using? - You could backup your project, close Flare, delete your Analyser and Output folders, then re-open Flare and try it again. - You could create a brand new target (or topic) and see ...

Could you post the code for both the heading (with condition) and for a paragraph in the same topic that uses the same condition?

Hi Lanval, Forgive me if you're already doing this, I was just unsure if I was reading your post correctly. You say that your dictionary is kept in a 'global' project but I am unsure if you mean: - Your dictionaries are stored in a Global Project Linking project, or - Your dictionaries are stored in ...
