How to make medium "Default" the default?

Post by Centauri27 »

Here's a minor little annoyance I've discovered since upgrading to Flare 7: I normally have my project target set to WebHelp; as a result (I think) my topics always display as medium "non print". However I have some special formatting and I want my topics to appear as medium "Default", to make it easier to identify topics that lack this formatting. In Flare 6, it defaulted to "Default" but in Flare 7 I'm constantly switching it to "Default" only to have it go back to "non print" when I open another topic! Very annoying.

It will use the medium of the primary target, so you'd need to set the primary target's medium to (Default).

For example, create a new dummy target that uses the default medium and set it as the primary; not ideal, but it will work.

Thanks, Dave. I guess it makes sense when you think about it. But the change in behaviour from Flare 6 is kind of annoying and it causes extra work for what I'm trying to do. Your workaround will do, but like you said, it's not ideal.
