Child project naming problem

[gravenstein]

I have just imported some RoboHelp (webhelp) projects into Flare 7.0.1, and am trying to re-create the previous parent-child relationships. The parent has multiple children. In RoboHelp, all our projects follow the same model and launch from a file named index.htm. Upon conversion, this translated to multiple output files named Default.mcwebhelp. They all live in different output folders, of course.

Now I find that when I try to add more than one child to the parent, Flare objects to multiple children having the same output file name, even though they exist in different folders. When I try to generate the parent output, I get this message: "More than one linked help system is named 'Default.mcwebhelp.' Please rename one of them so the projects can be properly merged."

Do I *really* have to give each child project a unique output filename? Reusing names allows me to share features and do things programmatically that I don't want to have to give up or redesign.

Is there a concept that I'm missing here? I'm a real noob to Flare, so that's entirely likely!

Thanks,

Yep, it seems like the targets from the merged projects need to have different output file names.

I'd suggest contacting support to confirm this; and if so, put in an enhancement request.

Yes, targets for merged projects need to have different file names.

Thanks, Dave and Andrew. *Sigh.* So much to learn.
