The content explorer uses the sort method you have implemented in Windows explorer.

There have been a few cases where uses have experienced a different sort order than that used in Windows explorer, but this has often been related to sort order used on a networked location and considered a bug ...

How can I set sort order in Content Explorer?

I need to publish target to web server over SFTP. I've set FTP port to 22 but it doesn't seem to work.

Does Flare 5 support transfer of files over SFTP?

1) you can create your own skin in Flare by choosing Project > Add Skin. It looks like it's just an xml file, so you could edit it outside of Flare in a text editor, but the interface is so much easier because a lot of the skin options are flare-specific and easier to see visually with the editor ...

Few question regarding MadCap Flare 5 and skin usage...

1) How can I create my own skin? Can I do it outside of Flare?
2) I have new icons named exactly as they are named in Default skin. Can I somehow copy/paste them to Flare project folder so that I don't have to define each icon over Skin editor ...

Yes, I got notice form Flare but it redirects me to URL that gives me error

I had to reinstall my computer from scratch. I've installed Flare 5 and I need to download update but it seems that file is no longer at http://madcap.vo.llnwd.net/o1/flare050- ... V5_SP1.exe. Where can I get that file?

They may not be aware that there is an AltGr key. It used to be that even on US keyboards the left and the right Alt key generated a different code, but due to cost savings I find more and more US keyboards that make both Alt keys send the same signal. Cheapo keyboards disable an entire layer and ...

I didn't mention the option Dave suggested because you said you didn't want to have to go from topic to topic to "paint" by hand. You'll still have to do that with generic classes, except you'd have to go into the topics to apply the classes. Plus, you'd have to later go back into the topics when ...

I use Croatian keyboard layout (http://ascii-table.com/keyboard.php/234-1). To get { I have to press AltGr+B. This combination in Flare produces:

1) Paragraph properties - if I'm in topic
2) Nothing - if I'm in internal text editor editing CSS

Similar issue I have with AltGr+F (I get Find in files ...

If you just want to add a colour/style to the text, then you could set up some generic style classes; e.g. open your stylesheet in text mode and add:

.beta
{
color: #0000ff;
}

.internal
{
color: #ff0000;
}

The advantage of a using a generic class is that you can apply it to any tag (p, li ...

As far as I know it checks when a file is opened. So when you closed Flare with that topic open it will make a check when you open the project the next time. Could you determine why this happened or at least find out what is not the cause?

I'm using roaming profile. It seems that there was a ...

I assume you're talking about changing the color in the output, not signifying conditions in the authoring environment, which Flare can already do?

If it's the former, then no, there's no way to tie a style to a conditionalized tag so that it appears differently in the generated output.

I was ...

Yes, i have a backup. Files are where they should be I was just surprised to se this. Does this mean that every time when I open project Flare checks if everything is ok?

Can I somehow set properties for CSS so that all text that is marked (through conditional formatting) as "Internal" to be red, "beta version" to be blue, etc.? Must I go from topic to topic and "paint" text by hand? Sometimes text is within <p> other times it is within <li>. Can somehow "Internal ...

My regional setting is set to Croatian. I think this could be the cause of this...

Yesterday I've Buidl primary target. Target looks just fine. This morning I've opened my project and I got message that one file is not valid XML file?!?! I got this rubbish on my screen

What version of Flare are you using? I can set the line-height to 1.5em. Even in Simple View (I'm normally in Advanced View) I can specify the unit of measure for the line-height.

You are using the unit of measure drop-down field to select the UOM, right?

Yeah. It looks that I have to punch in 1 ...

LTinker68 wrote:Which property are you trying to change?

Line-height. I can't get it to be 1.2 or 1.5. Jut 1 or 2.

If you want spacing between lines in the same paragraph, then adjust the line-height property of the paragraph tag or class. If you want spacing between paragraphs, set the margin-top and/or margin-bottom properties.

Tnx for thw answer. I can't set values to 1.2 em. I can set value to 1, 2, 3 ...

Can I somehow set spacing between lines within paragraph to 1.2 em? I can set i to 1 and to 2, I can't set value only to integer.

What is best property to set spacing between two paragraphs - border, padding, margin...?

Technically not as far as I can think, but the connection speed is a major issue. Many report performance problems when accessing project files from local network shares. Also, you may run into issues with commonly used files (project files). I'd try it out with the sample project and see how that ...

Is there any issues regarding use of Webfolders (webdav) as a storage point for Flare project? Two persons should be able to do edits at same time. Maybe even additional users with X-Edit (free version) would access this folder from time to rime...

First, make a backup of your project.

Second, you can do find-and-replace in Flare, just make sure to select to search in source code. However, I'd try it in just one topic first to see if Flare accepts it. That might have been what RamonS was talking about earlier with Flare screwing up the PHP ...
