MadCap Software Forums

Okay, wait a minute. I am using the Import folder under Project. This is labeled the Project Import Editor. I don't get the options of Next or Finish. I have only "Reimport," which does a less-than-stellar job.

Resolved. I moved the data to the second drive. Kept the apps on the first drive.

When I used the Import function and select All Files, I sort of expect all files to be imported from whatever Flare project I choose.

However, I am getting only the HTM files and must return to get the CSS files and the rest.

Suggestions?

Thanks a bunch, RamonS!

Do you use source control? If not, move the entire project folder with all contents to the other drive to a new folder in the root with ideally a short name (helps with the moronic Windows (DOS) limitation of 255 characters for path and file names). Then open the project from the new location ...

I now have two hard drives in my desktop machine. What is the best way to keep the MadCap applications on Drive One, but move the MadCap data to Drive Two?

Thanks, Nita!

Okay, that was seriously weird. Why would a stylesheet look one way in both the Advanced and Simple views, but look differently in the internal text editor?

Some text was set to be centered in both Advanced and Simple views, but the centering was not set when I used the internal text editor.

On the project/target level, I have configured the custom stylesheet I want to use.

One topic, however, remains mysteriously linked to an unused stylesheet. How can I change this?

I may be moving Flare to a second hard drive in the same desktop tower.

What issues do I need to be aware of?

My browse sequence is skipping topics, but I am unable to find out what is wrong with it.

I went to this page, http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare11/Content/Browse_Sequences/More%20About%20Browse%20Sequences/Finding_and_Fixing_Issues_in_a_Browse_Sequence.htm, and read up on "Finding and Fixing ...

So I do this via Windows Explorer, as the project will be closed?

Correct.

Thanks.

My default browse sequence is skipping topics.

Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

Do you actually need a browse sequence?
Just if you don't include a browse sequence at all, then the navigate previous/next buttons will follow your TOC order.

If I do it this way, then why would the Next Topic button skip the next topic and land on the topic that is two topics down? What could ...

Default location for your TOC is in Project > TOCs in your filesystem.

Probably best to close the project first.

Copy it to Project > Advanced > Browse Sequences.

Rename it and give it the .flbrs extension.

Open the project and set your new browse sequence up in your project.

So I do this via ...

Oh. Well heck-fire. Didn't know that. Do I still need to enable Browse Sequences in the skin if I am not including an explicit Browse ...

Where would I snag the *.fltoc file?

No idea. I could try it, I suppose.

Done.

The answer to your first question is yes.

I was hoping there would be function that I could select to say, yes, automatically build the browse sequence as an exact copy of the TOC, or no, I prefer to build my own browse sequence manually.

I want the browse sequence to contain the same items as the TOC, in the same order as the TOC. Apologies for the confusion.

What is the easiest way to get the Browse Sequence to follow the TOC?

If I juke around too much, I'm afraid I'll forget something or that something will drop between the cracks.

In my WebHelp output, I have a bunch of books containing related topics. Problem is, the topics in each book are numbered independently of the other books. In each book, the first topic is page 1, the second topic is page 2, etc.

Is there a way to have the topics in separate books numbered ...

"Kwag Only"-- I love it!

I'll check. Thank you.
