Open the Word target (General tab), in the Output File field enter the specific file name, for example, output.docx

I would tend to go for option 2 (although we use SVN rather than TFS). You need to ensure all files are checked in beforehand so all files are in the repository.

In terms of your GPL project, though, I'd be inclined to store that on a networked drive rather than on your C:\. Although if your ...

Check your Partial Word Search settings as well (Performance tab of the HTML5 target). Having this set increases the size of the help.

Hi Shawn,

I have followed your rants about a web-based collaboration tool for a while now and we are in need of this as well. :) I keep hoping the next version of Flare will address it in some way but that has not happened yet. The question upper management continues to ask is "how do we ...

There were some users who had experienced problems running Flare 12 in a non-Windows 10 environment (Flare 12 has both 32-bit and 64-bit installs available). I'm certainly not saying that is the cause of any problems, but it is something to be mindful of.

What operating system are you using?

I'm using SVN (Subversion). I'm unsure if that would make a difference to the dialog.

It could be you need to reinstall .NET or reinstall Flare.

When I select Source Control > Commit All , the dialog box lists all changed files. I'm not sure how I select only some files to check in. To the top-left of the list, there's a checkbox with no label or pop-up description. Turning this on or off doesn't seem to do anything. I tried highlighting in ...

Hi Kai, I'd look at saving a project as a template project.

I agree, it would be nice to have Flare a little more intuitive.

Hi Philip, are you running projects stored on a networked drive?

As long as it is an option. Your suggestion makes sense for solo authors, but in a team who share files, I'd rather others weren't randomly updating topics that I use in my project. We use Project linking to try to keep things more standard and avoid the ad hoc changes.
If that option were allowed ...

Great suggestion. The file is already connected so it shouldn't be difficult to push it back to the original.

I wonder if it's connected to Source Control whether that would make a difference?

Seems that it doesn't load using Chrome. Works using Edge.

This relates to Source Control and indicates that you have renamed one of your files.

See the topic below under the section 'Source Control Icons'.

Hi TeSol,

It won't be an issue with Flare being 32-bit and you running Windows 8.1 64-bit. I am running Flare 11 (also 32-bit) and Windows 10 64-bit and using TortoiseSVN 1.8.12.26645 (64-bit).

Also, Flare 10 is compatible with SVN 1.8.

A few things:
Are you currently running SVN 1.8?
Are you ...

My understanding is it is all automagically done. :P

If you have a global dictionary and a project dictionary, Flare checks both when performing a spell check.

To be able to do this, you need to have a global dictionary (In Flare, File > Options > Spelling tab) plus you need to have a project ...

Flare 12 is SVN 1.9 compatible (it looks like it is backwards compatible)
Flare 11 is 1.8

I've been using Flare since v1 and still have my long hair.

When it was released yesterday, I saw in the trial d/l for Flare 12 that it said the file size was 700MB. When I downloaded it was around 350MB - perhaps there is meant to be an .exe with both. Today, the trial link explicitly states it is 64-bit and for 32-bit users to contact Madcap.

In all these discussions - and there are many in the forums - I always question the motivation why access to help is to be restricted and made difficult. Rest assured that the help will be copied and distributed. So why go through all this trouble and potentially make it harder for your own ...

Hi Matt,

Caveat: I am not a developer yet I presented a topic around this very idea.

The basic idea is that a token or ID be passed to open a specific HTML5 page (not webhelp output).

At the moment, our software (and help) is installed on a middleware box which means the help is installed ...

Append .pdf to the end of the Output File name:
Generic FD - Product (U.S.).pdf

Instead of a soft return, wouldn't you be better off making the <li> a paragraph item?

In Flare 11, open up a topic and in the bottom-right hand corner you'll see three little buttons. Click the V to display both editors at the same time. Click the other two for horizontal/vertical displays.

Note: They only scroll together when you select a piece of text. Using the scroll bar in one ...
