Is Batch Generate available from new RH 2019 UI and command line?

I see Batch Generate of outputs is supported in RH 2019 Classic, but how do I do it in the new RH 2019 interface? And what about via the command line options with the new version?

Thanks,

Alan

Quick Generate does the job of Batch Generation from the UI.

Command Line Generation generates a specific project.as it did in Classic, to the best of my knowledge. Not something I used but there is a page on my site about it written by Bill Albing and that seems to refer to a command line for each project.

Hi Peter,

Yes I am currently using it to generate outputs for 8-10 projects (RH 2019 interface) and around 24 output presets. Till now, I have not observed any problem with running the .bat file except the extra space issue with the project folder name and project name that you need to take care of.

Great minds think alike: That's what I ended up doing as well. It does work.

Hi Alan,

Did you install upgrade 8 for RH 2019? I am asking because, the .bat file  to generate output stopped working after installing upgrade 8 for RH 2019. I have also raised this with adobe support team.

I receive the following error when I run the .bat file:

Look for Quick Generate top right in Author mode. Does the same job as

Batch Generate.

Look at the RoboHelp Tour on my site or the RoboHelp Reimagined sample

project. It is described there along with Command Line Generation.

    Hi Peter,

    Thank you, I found it in the UI.

    I don't see any reference to batch generation or quick generate as a command line parameter on your site or in the RoboHelp online help.

    Thanks,

    Alan
