Question

Determine Which .xpj File WebHelp Output Originated From?

I need to know if there is a way to determine which .xpj file my Webhelp output was created from. Anyone know if this is stored in a file within the output structure somewhere?? Unfortunately, I have multiple copies of the same project and none of them seem to match the latest output and I need to track down the correct xpj file to work from in order to not lose work by recreating the project file from the output if it can be helped!!

    Hi there

    While I'm unaware of any way to trace an output back to its original XPJ. I'm thinking that perhaps the easiest way to determine this would be to compare date/time stamps. Just look at the output folders for each of the copies of the projects.

    Cheers... Rick

    Thanks for the reply, Rick. I tried that before posting here and to my dismay it seems as though the project it came from may be under a unique or unrelated name (there are probably 50 project files on this machine - lol).

    And all fifty are using the same project name? Perhaps by existing in 50 different folders?
