I'm trying to get a client's help system out of RoboHelp and into Flare; the only sticking point may be the naming -- they call their help with projectname.htm and would like not to change those links if possible.
Is it possible to arbitrarily rename the projectname_CSH.htm file? I did a few quick tests and as far as I can tell it makes the javascript unhappy.
Thanks,
j.
Is it possible to rename the _CSH file?

Re: Is it possible to rename the _CSH file?
They only need to change one resource and make projectname.htm to read projectname_csh.htm. The string to make the help call should be stored in one central place and a help call just pops in the map ID. Changing the URL should take a developer 0.833 minutes. Are you saying they didn't have the application designed as such? In that case they should be punished by reworking every occurrence.

Flare needs to have the _CSH file, its not possible to rename this file, as it may cause other problems in the project.
