Flare 2018 View Output button
Flare 2018 View Output button
Hi all
I've just upgraded to Flare 2018, and find that after building PDF output the View Output button in the Build window no longer works. However, I can still select and double-click the build to open the PDF.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Re: Flare 2018 View Output button
It is working for me in my installation of 2018.
Be sure that you click on a build first, and make sure that the build you're trying to view completed. Obviously, if the build failed, then there is nothing to view.

Button still does not work even on highlighted completed PDF builds. (It does work on HTML5 builds.)
The build PDF is accessible by other means, but not the View Output button.

Double-click the build line and it opens. So it's not a huge problem, just a bit of an annoyance.

That's right. The output is still easily accessible. Just a glitch.

My bad. I missed that it was a PDF target. I also see the issue where when you build a PDF target, and click on the View Output button nothing happens. I'll submit this as a bug to MadCap. I suggest you do the same.

Bug added. I expect that'll be pretty easy to fix, so watch out for 2018 r2!

Just an FYI that this issue is not just for PDF output. The button also fails to open the output for CHM output. Minor inconvenience and hopefully fixed soon.

Barb,
Be sure to log a bug report on the CHM output issue as well so it makes it into MadCap's queue.

Reckon they'll be inundated with bug reports on this, I did one too!

Yes, but many bug reports make for faster fixes.
