Restoring Messages

I have searched for well over an hour for something that I am sure is very simple. I am sure that I have overlooked the answer.

I am using RH8.

I accidentally selected the Don't show me this message again option related to a message that I need to see.

I am trying to restore the message.

I have not found any information in Help, using Google, and using the forum.

Can someone tell me how to accomplish what I think is a simple task? That is, how do I restore warning messages that have been suppressed?

    I was able to recreate the message on a virtual machine, so I have a more correct version of the message (related to hyperlinks). The message for images is very similar.

    The hyperlink "SourceTopic.htm", used in TargetTopic.htm is outside the current project and will not be shown in Project Manager.


    Hi Cal

    Okay, found it.

    Close RoboHelp HTML as your first step.

    Open the registry editor.

    Look for this section:

    HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2363748780-1291634622-3356602919-1000\Software\Adobe\RoboHelp\8.00\Common

    The actual key name is:

    Dont notify on out of project

    You might be able to find that easily by pressing F3, pasting that into the search field and allowing the registry editor to find that key for you.

    Basically, when you click that "do not show" check box you are setting this key value to 1. You might be able to just delete the key. Then close the registry editor and restart RoboHelp. But I think I'd start by changing the value to 0 first. Then close Regedit and restart RoboHelp.

    Keep us posted on your outcome!

    Cheers... Rick

    First thanks for all your help.

    The actions below created the message.

    I copied (Ctrl+C) content in one project and pasted it in another.

    The content included pictures and hyperlinks.

    When I save the target project, the message is something similar to "PictureName.png in Topic.htm is outside the project and may not appear in the final output. Sorry, I don't remember the exact message.

    Hi Cal

    You will end up having to close RoboHelp and surgically remove something from your Windows Registry to re-enable the message. If you can tell us exactly which message it was, I might be able to guide you to the key.

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi Rick - I think Peter has some info on restoring these messages on his site.

    Hi Jeff

    Anything on Peter's site about those messages would likely have come from my own research. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone document all of them thoroughly.

    Prior to posting I recalled that Peter did have some info there and I did expend a fair amount of searching to no avail. So I decided to simply reply and ask which message it was as it seemed simpler in the long run.

    Cheers... Rick
