Self Generated XML Possible Problems?

Post by TheBrittleTechWriter »

I'm planning on generating topic files from an application. It will place the generated files directly into the Windows structure inside the Flare project. It also generates the fltoc and fltar files. The XML seems to be Flare compliant and builds successfully,

Does anyone know if this could cause problems down the line? For example, if I ever move the files withing Flare, will the updater not be able to work properly because it is expecting some Flare specific formatting kind of thing?

Fancy! I like it.

Never say never, but from your description I think that it should be okay.

I have done that in the past and it was absolutely fine - there isn't any hidden info anywhere.
