I suggest doing both, use source control and grab plain file backups of the projects and keep backups of the source control repository. Might sound a bit paranoid, but after experiencing major hardware failure once you will be very happy that you kept enough copies to get back to work within a ...

Thanks kwag_myers! I will give it a try.

I'm bumping this thread since I'm in the same situation as TeSol . In other words, the developers need a compiled help file (.CHM) and they link their help buttons to HTML page names and not map IDs or aliases. I was just wondering if anyone has found a simpler way other than renaming the files ...

I am hoping I am just missing something, as it would be really nice if I could just get these terms to convert to text in a PDF.
I would like this as well.

In addition, I another issue with glossary terms in PDF and Word outputs. When I select "Convert first occurrence of term" in the "Glossary ...

Thanks atomdocs! I keep forgetting about that tiny Options button in the File menu. I sure wish MadCap would make it more prominent in Flare and Capture. (For example, moving it to the left panel of the File menu and giving it a large icon.)

Hi,

I've been trying to find if you can capture the mouse pointer like you can in SnagIt in Capture 7. I've looked through the docs but I couldn't find anything. :( I searched through the forums and found the following thread:

Works for me in Firefox, but not in Chrome. In Chrome the button does nothing.
Still doesn't work in Chrome! :cry: (It works fine in IE and Firefox.) This is a ...

I've done this for my WebHelp projects by creating a PDF folder in the Content Explorer of Flare. Then I opened the folder in Windows and put the necessary PDFs in the folder, and then linked them to my project. The PDFs become part of the output folder contents, and can be published like any of ...

Sorry for the necromancy but I’ve been searching for instructions about how to simulate code in Flare for days. I tried searching for “MadCap Flare computer code style” and similar strings both here and on Google but nothing relevant turned up. It wasn’t until I tried “MadCap Flare pre ...

Woo hoo! :D

After a bit of experimenting I figured out what the problem was. I went into all of the target files and on the General tab I changed the ...

RamonS ,

Thank you for your quick reply!
Hiding content based on browser also assumes that the help is viewed through the same browser type that is used for running the application. In this case, it might even be preferred by FF users to know that if they use IE they do not have to reenter the ...

Hi,

The application installer I’m documenting behaves differently depending on what browser is used and with Chrome and Firefox if a plugin supporting .Net Framework has been installed and enabled. For example, if you use IE it never asks for a license key but if you use Firefox without the ...
