2017 r2 broke hyperlinking!

[Liz_G]

Just installed 2017 r2 and now can't navigate to a file in the project to hyperlink to it - can't open folders! Anyone else seeing this?

Same for me too.

I tried to insert a cross-reference, and I found that I couldn't initially see any of the topics.
I selected the Topic Files (*.htm...) filter at the top, and then I could then see the topics. Topic files was already selected, but re-selecting it seemed to fix the issue permanently (I can't get it to revert back).

That's pretty bad though - really unimpressed with bugs in 2017r2 so far.

Yes, I am seeing this also.

Based on Dave's summary in another thread (viewtopic.php?f=13&t=28996), I think I'm going to have to uninstall this release and go back to the last one

As I mentioned, re-selecting Topic Files in the filter fixed it for me, so try that first.

Yes, this resolves the problem. Somehow they did not carry over the remembered file type properly, and so no files show.

You'll need to reselect the file type for both the hyperlink and cross-reference dialogs.

I just experienced this problem when inserting a cross-reference and also found that re-selecting Topic Files in the filter fixed it.

Yeah, I noticed if you use v12 and 2017r2, then fixing it in 2017r2 breaks it for v12. The same fix works in v12, but then it breaks 2017r2 again!

So it seems to be a shared setting across different versions of Flare.
