Hi,
I need to merge several WebHelp projects into a master project. The file sizes are quite big. Is there any limit on the number and size of projects that can be merged into a single master project.

Awaiting an early response... coz we have a deadline to meet by next week.

Cheers,
Gayathri

    Quite big is relative. I have seen people post here that they have a very large project when it is just a couple of thousand files.

    How many projects do you have? Define "quite big".

    I have a merge of seven projects with around 12,000 files in total. I split them to contain the largest to around 4,000. There are no defined limits, it's more about the time to open projects. I know there are folks with larger merges than that.

    Come back with some figures.

    Thanks Peter.

    We need to merge 70 projects, each containing about 900 files. The output of each project is around 12 MB. Will this be feasible?

    Awaiting your response,

    Hi Gayathri

    The size of each project in terms of the number of files and the overall file size is nothing to worry about.

    I don't think 70 projects will be an issue but it is more than I have attempted to merge. I think MergeThis has a merge with about 40+ projects and has no problems with that.

    If in doubt, after you have merged say 20 projects, run the output and see how it performs, then merge the next twenty and test and so on.

    It would be interesting to learn how you get on so please do post back. It is only when people do that we can build on our knowledge of what can be done.
