Print project data (topics, snippets)

Strange question maybe, but is there a possibility to print project data?
I mean, all topics, all snippets, variables, etc.?
Including there properties (not the contents/text of them).

Update: I already find out the item: "File List Window" which shows me the wanted info, but I can't find any print possibility.

Screen shots always work.

You could write a javascript extracting those data from the files ... but there's nothing "on board" in Flare ...

Thanx for your reply.

Is this maybe a job of one of the other MadCap products? I need it to keep track of several language projects (how do I proceed).

RH uses a database, Flare uses files. That's the main technical difference between those two. Both approaches have their advantages and drawbacks.
But if you know somebody who could write a script for you (not necessarily JAVAscript) that's a once only measure - especially, if you insist on getting a script that grows with Flare and still works with more file properties or to get it adapted easily yourself. Don't let the programmer tell you it's not possible.

thanx i_tietz
maybe you can tell me on what (flare) file this (java)script should work?
in my project I see a "Content.sdf" file, which is a SQL server compact edition dbase file.
is that the one?

Ahem ... no - I've seen tons of parameters in the html tag. And you might have a title tag (or a h1 tag, or a h2 tag, ... )
You can retrieve that info from files ".htm" and .flsnp" in the content folder.

Code: Select all

<html 
xmlns:MadCap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadCap.xsd" 
MadCap:lastBlockDepth="12" 
MadCap:lastHeight="11607" 
MadCap:lastWidth="855" 
MadCap:conditionTagExpression="include[conditiontagset2.Alternative_4] exclude[conditiontagset2.Alternative_1 or conditiontagset2.Alternative_2 or conditiontagset2.Alternative_3] " 
xml:lang="fi" 
MadCap:conditions="conditiontagset1.one">

Thanx!
I will see if I can retrieve the wanted info.
