Adobe Robohelp 2020.5.71 image resizing

Hi,

Since I updated Robohelp to the latest version the images from my master pages seem to be all over the place. I can see that the width of the images are now measured in percentage rather than pixels, I took a screen shot from previous version (2020.1.54) where the witdh was shown in pixels.

The main problem is that on the newest version Robohelp wouldn't let me change the height or the width in order to re-adjust the images on my master page. No matter how I change it (source/author) it will default again to how it was previously.

Any ideas how I can do it?

I will post an image with before and after to get a better understanding.

Thanks

    Looks like that is a column width setting in the table properties.

    Locate two images in a master page. A new one where it is OK and an old one where it is not. I think you should see a difference and perhaps I can then suggest something.

    Hi Peter,

    If I create a new topic or I add an image to an existing one, the image seems to appear in pixels and it would let me change it. Very strange, I noticed that images in the topics (I have over 1000 topics) all imaages inserted seem to be ok, they appear in pixels and I can adjust the size. However, for all master pages, images are all over the place and witdth appears to be in percentage. If I insert a new image, it will appear in pixels but for existing ones I cannot do anything.

    Would that be an issue? I am guessing the only way to sort it is by manually removing these images and adding them again?

    Thanks,

    They are still shown in pixels for me. What do you get in a new single topic project?

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for your reply. I wouldn't mind if they are shown in percentage as long as I can resize/organise them as they previously were but, as I mentioned previously, it doesn't seem to let me make any changes at all.

    If you are referring to the Reset to Default icon next to the Width button, I have tried that but it doesn't change anything. If not, could you tell me the menu path please so I can try?

    Thanks,

    If I drag an image into a topic, both height and width are in pixels. Have you tried clicking the Restore icon to see if that changes anything?
