Question

RH 2022: frameless csh calls should open in the same window

One more question about local publishing of frameless output.

With RH Classic, we had the option of choosing whether a link for HTML output should always open in the same browser frame or in a new frame. The same frame applied to csh calls and links. In RH 2022, frameless output always opens in a new window. We would like it to open in the same frame. I cannot find an option for this in RH 2022. The developer cannot find a solution for this in the API either.
I searched the existing threads and Peter Grainge's posts, where I came across the synonyms (thanks for that!), but unfortunately I couldn't solve my problem. Who can help me?

    I don't think that is an option as it's rather like clicking an exe for the same app, it's going to keep opening a new window.

     

    I suggest for this one you need to go to Adobe Support. See https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#robohelp for your Adobe Support options. The email link tcssup@adobe.com is recommended as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including RoboHelp.

    That sounds reasonable. But what is the difference to the csh call for the CHM output? The same window always opens there.

    For links, double click in source and you get options for how the target opens

    You are absolutely right. With a link, you can select an option from the context menu. I need to clarify my question, as there was some confusion at first. Actually, it's just about multiple csh calls from the application. Each call opens in a new tab in the browser. Do you know of a setting for this?
