Importing from RoboHelp - no Resources folder

[ccardimon]

When I import projects from RoboHelp, the images just sort of hang out on their own without benefit of a folder.

There is no Resources folder and no Images folder. Did I do something incorrectly?

Should I try to re-import the project?

The images folder isn't essential (although it is good media management). AFAIK, when Flare imports from RH, it keeps everything in the same relative paths as they were originally so that you don't have to change any of your links.

What you could do is use Flare's Content Explorer to move the files to an Images folder that you create. It will then check and see if it needs to update any links and prompt you accordingly.

Thanks for replying. I will try to do as you suggest. If this does not work, I will cry for assistance.

This appears to function one image at a time. I am asked to update the links and I click yes. This would be great if I had only 10 images or so. I have many more than that.

I tried grabbing more than one file at a time, but Flare won't let me do that, or I don't know how.

Is there any way to move a bunch of images at a time, or must I do it one at a time?

Nevermind, I know I can grab all the file within File List. Now I have to figure out how to MOVE them all at once.

Actually, it's easier in the Content Explorer for moving stuff. Just turn on the "Show Files" icon at the top of the CE pane. It'll split into two panes, and in the right pane you can select multiple files and move them. Just make sure to click Yes to the option to update hyperlinks. I wouldn't try to do all of them at once -- I seem to recall someone else mentioning that Flare locked up when they tried to move a 100 or so topics at a time.

Hey, I didn't know about "Show Files."

Wow. Cool! It's working.

Thank you!
