With global project linking, is it possible to see a list of all child projects/files that are linked to a parent project from within the parent project? Is it possible to see the parent project and/or parent files from within a child project?

It seems logical that this would be possible, but I ...

I'm a little confused...

You can't capture screen shots at 300 dpi. Your screen display is about 92 dpi. Capture can't make up the pixels out of nothing, so to get to 300 dpi, it has to shrink your image by 60%. The limiting factor here is the display that you are taking a screen ...

Thanks, everyone, for your input and help.

From the information and suggestions you've shared, and from our follow-up, I think we've determined that this issue must be a result of damaged props files, maybe from moving or renaming? We'll never know for sure how they were damaged, but we do know ...

Ok, we've had some more discussion in the office about this. :-) Maybe it's our process that's causing us problems?

A. One person actually imports all of her Capture pictures into Flare before inserting them into her project. I don't see why a Capture file should actually need to be imported into ...

Thanks for the suggestions, but no, we can't select the bubble at all. When we double click, we, of course, get the properties window for the entire image, not just for the bubble.

Our properties are set correctly (they're not set at 'read-only.').

Our props files are in the same folder as the ...

Can I include settings for callouts and text boxes in a profile somehow? Or do they automatically adjust along with the other settings?

In a recent project that two of us worked on, one captured her images for print, and one captured her images for online (at that time, we were unaware of the ...

Steve- we're not using source control, but only the project/image owner is updating her respective project/images. The images were captured in Flare, specifically for the corresponding Flare project.

forfear- we're using Capture 3.0.16.

Thanks!

Thanks, Nita.

We double-checked the attributes for our pics, and none of them is set to read-only. We also made sure that the props files were in the same folder as the image files. We tried opening Capture from within Flare, and we tried opening Capture independently to edit the pictures, and ...

Thanks for your efforts, Nita! Unfortunately, we do have our .props files together with our image files (.jpg, .png, and .gif). We have not renamed either file. My co-worker is having the same issue.

We've tried opening the files from within Capture (File>Open), we've tried dragging the file to the ...

I am unable to edit the existing callouts on images that I have created, saved, closed and reopened.

For example, when I do a screen capture, add a callout, and save and close the image, if I reopen the image and try to change the wording in one of the existing callouts, I am unable to. I can add ...

I am trying to generate a pdf output for print, but the result is that my text is spread out, line breaks are awkward, not all styles show up, and the header and footer are not spaced correctly.

I am using an imported page layout for this project, which worked for the original project when ...

That did it. Thanks!

I have a document that generates this error message when I start the Build process (for a PDF target): "Internal error: found circular dependency from Requirements.fltoc to Requirements.fltoc." (Requirements is just one of the TOCs in this project.) After the error message displays, the build ...

Thanks, Steve.
We have already submitted a feature request for this.
What I want to do is to send one topic for review, which contains condition tags. Is there already a method for doing this using X-Edit, when you want to not show one or more conditions, and you don’t want to generate a PDF to ...

I have a manual containing condition tags (one set for installations and one set for upgrades) that I want to send out for review using X-Edit.
How do I deal with condition tags so that reviewers can see the document using either set (but not both at the same time)?

Thanks!
Heidi
