Warning: file already listed in the FILES section of the pro

Post by kittim »

I have done some rearranging of my project and am now getting the following warning message. Cannot locate the section that is being referred to. Would appreciate any help in locating and thanks...

Was this a robohelp project at one time?

I had the same problem, and yes my project was initially a Robohelp project.
Kittim, those warnings won't appear if you clear the checkbox "Generate resized copies of scaled images" in the target on the advanced tab. That helped me.
Good Luck

Yes, this was a robohelp project. I did as you suggested Alice and it solved the problem. Thanks!! Not sure why it solved it, but...

Thanks so much. Now I have a different error, unable to find the source. I am deleting a lot of files from the project and reorganizing. Almost wish at this point I had started a new project from scratch. But... I have moved the files that I don't think I will be using anymore into a directory called "discard", but I have chosen to update the links so incase someone changes their mind and I need to bring those topics back I wouldn't lose the internal links. Maybe wasn't the best plan. I think with this file, I chose to not update the links and now I am getting this error.

I have searched through the alias files and removed the reference to that file. Now I am getting this error.

I can't find anything that looks like this
Thanks again in advance for your help.

I've never had such a problem, but perhaps you have empty identifiers and flare doesn't like it (it only my guess :?: )?
