Illegal characters in path

Post by LarsLyhne »

This is strange

For quite some time, I've constructed my Output file as Interfaces - API FTP Dispatch - v.[%=Global_variables.Version_coverpage%]. I has been working as a charm.

But today Flare 17.2 won't accept this. It builds my PDF as usual but then it fails.

After trial-and-error-testing, I found that Flare no longer (in this Project) accepts a file name that ends with a variable. And that's strange, because it did before.
Actually, if Output File contains a variable, it fails to build a PDF.

Flare builds when Output File = (Default) .. but I want that just as little as I want to manually add the version number to the Output File.

You should look into this, as variables are an integral part of file names.

If you want MadCap to look at it, you need to report it to MadCap as a bug.

Although MadCap run the forums and might read some of these messages, these forums are mainly for users to help each other.
