In corporate environments, the Documents and Desktop folders are often mapped to OneDrive. Are your projects or output in those folders maybe?

In the absence of any other advice, and noting that I've never done it, I feel like the files need to be published with an aspx extension? You can set a custom extension in the target somewhere, from memory. Or alternatively some change needs to be made to sharepoint by an admin to allow htm files t...

Something to be grateful to Win3.1 for. :p

Place the .bat (for batch) file in any folder (directory) you want to query and double click it.

Nice.

If you want a file listing so you can get a bit of a visual idea of your longest file path, the following will generate a text file in the project folder which contains a list of all the files in your project, including the full path to each file. 1. Navigate to the project folder in File Explorer. ...

Maybe this will help

Poking around in the Developer Tools Sources tag, it looks like the dropdowns are added by custom javascript, and hard coded urls are stored in another javascript which is used to populate the list. Do you have a friendly developer who could help you implement something similar?

There's a command line tool that I think can be integrated somehow with source control. I've never done it though. Something to look in to; at least some new words to search on the forum until anyone else with experience responds. :) https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2021r3/Content/Flare/Step5-Bu...

They're not exactly duplicates as the case is different. In the cobra _print.css are these styles written as upper or lower case (open in a text editor to check)? If they're upper case, you could try changing one to lower case to see if that solves the issue.

Asking your IT team about the virus checker is a really good idea. I once had a project slow to unusability and the culprit was a change IT had made to the antivirus settings. I think excluding the output directories from the virus check fixed the issue in our case (although it was a long time ago a...

I wonder if this method to add links to the header would work with a menu proxy?
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30865

While it uses scripting, the script itself shouldn't need to be updated.

<div id="header-links">
[menu proxy goes here]
</div>

When you say "searching by name" do you mean there your users are clicking on a little help icon next to the Name field in the application? It's been a long time, but I think if the above is what you mean, then each field needs it's own unique ID just like for a screen; the help topic need...

You can set the font-style on the div because you haven't specifically set the font-style on the p tag. If you changed the p to include font-style: normal you'd find the italic from the div wouldn't be applied.

I wonder if you could create a custom medium (e.g. ViewInFlare) and unset the thumbnails just in that medium, then use that medium as your editor view? Theoretically everything else would be inherited from the default medium, so only the thumbnail setting would be different.

Double-check that the capitalisation of the path in the output exactly matches what you've typed as it's possible something different is happening than you expect. (you've said it works okay for some Mac users, so probably this isn't the issue, but worth confirming) You could also try clearing the b...

The dev tools are pretty cool. There's a lot to take in initially, but it's pretty easy once you know what you're looking for. Quick walkthrough. I created a simple htm page (not in Flare) and opened it in Chrome. The other browser have similar tools, but may look and behave a little differently. I ...

I usually create a temporary stylesheet and use that for the web output to try to see what's happening. Not all pdf quirks translate to the web though, unfortunately.

Could there be a text-indent of a couple of pixels/points floating around somewhere in your stylesheet?

Path length is a common problem. If you keep your projects in the Documents folder, individual users' login names can push the path length over the limit, if everything else is otherwise the same. Could this apply to your situation?

Does this help?

I think you need to use the required text plus {page} rather than just {pageref} which changes based on how close the referenced location is.

Perhaps you can do it with find and replace elements? https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2021r3/Content/Flare/Editor-Tools/Find-Replace/Main-Activities/Finding-Replacing-Elements.htm#microcontent1 Out of curiosity, could you replace your li::before style with: li { padding-left: 20px; } It seems t...

While I haven't used the new version, the zoom feature used to cause a problem like this, so you could check if you've somehow changed it from 100%.
