Question

Updating merged chms

Hello,

I have a project (in RH 11), where the final "master" chm has several merged chm files in it.

Now the merged chm files have been updated. So I delete the old chm files from the project, and add the updated versions to the master project.

All seems good so far.

However, when I search for something in the updated chm, I see, in the search results, both the old and the revised topics of the merged chm files. Clicking on the old topics actually shows me the old topic content, and clicking on the new topic, shows me the updated topic content.

How do I get rid of the old versions, so only the revised topics from the merged chm files are shown in search results.

Thanks

In your output directory, are both the new and the old CHM's still there? Clear the output folder and generate the project again. Does that help?

No, the old files are not in the output directory (though the directory remains the same).

I did see the old names in the .hhp file (if I remember correctly) and deleted them from there too just in case, but that didn't help either.

In the updated projects, how did you update the topics? Did you create new topics? Are you using conditional build tags to exclude old content? Did you remove the old topics from the project?

If you open one of the updated CHMs and search, do you then also see the old content?
