RoboHelp is Changing the case of my HTML files

Hi,

RoboHelp is changing the case of my HTML files. The file is originally mixed case, but when the file is modified and then saved, RoboHelp is changing the name to all lowercase. We're using X.5.0.2, HTML help, no source code control, and we're not generating (compiling) the files. There does not appear to by an option to make RoboHelp stop doing this. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix this?

Thank you,

- Phil

Correct answer Peter Grainge

I tried scenario 1 in the document that Phil sent me importing three files, UPPERCASE.HTM. MixedCase.htm and lowercase.htm.

In X5 they are indeed all converted to lowercase. I hadn't spotted that before as I tend to work with lowercase filenames anyway.

I repeated the test in RH6. Whilst the dialog telling you what has been imported shows all three files with lowercase names, the Topic List and Windows Explorer retains the case. Looks like a bug that was half fixed! At least you end up with what you want.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. When I create the project I do a File -> New -> Project.... In the New Project popup window I select 'HTML Help'. In the New Project Wizard window there is no option to always user lowercase names.

Is there another wizard or option box for HTLM Help?

Thanks,

- Phil

Welcome to the forum.

Look at the first page of the wizard. There's an option to use lowercase file names. Clear that.

Hi Peter,

I'm working with an existing project, so I don't have the option to change anything in the setup wizard. Is there a way to clear that "use lowercase file names" option without running the wizard? Can I run the wizard for an existing project? I'm also using X5.

Instead of double clicking the layout or selecting Generate, select Properties. You can then go to any page in the Wizard and make changes.

When you select Properties, you will see the Finish button is marked Save instead.
