I would like this too. R & D are on Macs and some Linux, and our customers are all on Linux/Unix.
I also have to use Googledocs for intenal reviews, etc.
Will log a feature request.

Feature request now logged.

Haven't been able to find anything on the website, forums or knowledgebase.
Maybe it is worth logging a feature request against the Flare help or Knowledgebase, as it would be very useful.

This is great! Thanks so much, I'd been wondering about this, too. It drives me crazy how each individual topic that opens grabs focus.

Me too!.
Thank you.
It is so annoying that the focus is constantly grabbed, so if you attempt to type in any other app. window on your machine while Flare ...

Hi Phil,
I have done this successfully before by using the Edit > Find & Replace > Find and Replace in Files tool.

Enable the Find in Source Code option.

Then enter the tag for the condition in the Find field, for example, where you see something like.

MadCap:conditions="Primary.commands-tag ...

Replicated by Madcap Support and logged as a bug.

Done!

:idea:
Just had a brainwave...

Instead of trying to use advanced conditions to distinguish between the Basic and Advanced setups within the main project, I suddenly realised that Runtime Merging is probably a much easier solution.
I already have 2 HTML5 outputs that build correctly with the ...

Thanks Choccie!
I will have a look at this to see if this will be a possible solution.

Hi,
Using latest Flare 12 to produce HTML5 tripane output.
Thought I was wise to use condition tags to control the content of my outputs from single source, but no longer sure...

Have been creating a help system for a new product.
Elements of this product need their own help output:

I don't use breadcrumbs, but I found a solution to keep TOC sync working when a topic is used more than once in the TOC, and maybe this would work for your breadcrumbs too.
In your repeated topics like Concepts, put some bookmarks at the top of the topic and link each TOC entry to a different one ...

In the HTML5 Skin Editor -> Toolbar tab, have you checked that when you created your toolbar styles you didn't include any spaces in the style names?
If there are spaces in a style name, the toolbar button will not display in the output.
Worth checking.

Hi,
Could this be another case of this (viewtopic.php?f=13&t=27205) affecting Flare 12 images?
Try installing the 64-bit version of Ghostscript.

Hi,
I've just seen this too in my main project which was recently upgraded from Flare 11 to Flare 12.
The project uses the HTML5 skin and I can't preview it via the HTML5 Skin Editor.

I have the correct primary target set and the project appears to build OK and the ...

I've also been annoyed by this on several occasions.
You can't do anything until it finishes and then have to go through and find the topics it has inserted letters into.
This really needs sorting, as I'm sure many people forget and try to carry out other actions while Flare is loading.
Regards ...

Just an update on this...
I saw another post that solved this:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=27205
Flare 12 needs the 64 bit version of Ghostscript to display .eps files. I realised the image used for the bullets in my list is an .eps.
Solved!

Hi Ramon,
Genius! This also solves my problem with the "load Failed " tags instead of bullets:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=27192
I hadn't thought that the image used for the bullet is an .eps.
Thanks again!

Hi,
I've just opened one of my existing projects for the first time in Flare 12 and my unordered lists have a grey box alongside, containing the text "Load Failed".
Anyone seen this with Flare 12?
I searched the forum and found these tags mentioned in a couple of older Flare posts where people were ...

For several of our Flare projects, Top Nav is not appropriate because the software it goes with is pretty complex and there are too many top-level headings to work well in a Top Nav situation. I suppose I COULD re-jig things, but our users are familiar with the format and configuration of the help ...

So unhelpful to have the right at the bottom of the topic, rather than at the top.
How many of us tried to get this working, before eventually spotting that at the end? :(

I think many of us have put in a feature request for project merging to be supported with Top Nav, but feel free to do so as ...

Hi Sabine,
When you merge several projects into one HTML5 hub project, the sub projects are placed under the "Subsystems" directory in the output.
Therefore links which may have worked when the individual sub projects were alongside in your former directory structure will no longer work.

As Ramon said in his instructions, this removes Flare, not your projects...

If you're in the Stylesheet Editor and in the Simplified View (you should see "View: Simplified" in the toolbar):

- Select the drop-down in the upper-left corner of the editor and choose Show Paragraph Styles .

Hi,
There is a bug which arises if you enable the "Do not use Content folder" option AND you are using HTML5 output.
There are two 'Resources' folders at the root level of the project. One is for the HTML5 code and is required and the other is the Resources folder for the project. However, in ...

Hi Margaret,
Thank you for your reply.
That is really helpful. I hadn't thought about the File List. That will be useful to sort and go through.
I did generate a report, which also helps.
Appreciate your comments.

Hi,
I have a very large Flare 11 project that has had many condition tags added over the past few years.
Some of the features have now been stripped out of the product and consequently the help.
I wanted to remove the condition tags that are no longer relevant, but removing the tag from the primary ...
