Preview in a specific browser?

Post by mfaux »

Is it possible for Flare's preview to open in a specific browser (e.g. Chrome)?

thanks,

Yes, you can select the browser if you use View from either the target or the Builds window.

Thank you Dave.

I'm looking for setting the browser for the 'preview' window specifically. I think Flare is wrapping IE's browser for their preview window.

Sorry, I misread - no you can't choose a browser for the preview.

Hi Sergei,

Thank you for contacting MadCap Technical Support.

It is not possible to change the default browser for topic preview at this time,
however, this is currently a requested feature for future releases of Flare.

Please note that I have added you to this feature request (#101280) on your behalf with our Research and Development team.
