Question

User-defined skin is not displayed in the Project Set-Up pod

Hi,

I created a skin for my webhelp project and although the webhelp is generated with that skin, the skin name will not show in the list of skins in the Project Set-Up pod. As I want to edit it, it is rather annoying.

I have tried importing the skin again but am getting a message to say the skin is already present in the project.

The skin was created in an earlier version of Robohelp, as was the project. Both have now migrated to RoboHelp 10 - I don't know if that is a factor.

Appreciate your help.

Barbara

    You could try deleting the CPD and reopening the project.

    If not I would import it with a small variation in the name.

    Hi

    I just tried both of these but it has not made any difference. I don't know whether building a new skin from scratch might help.

    What do you think?

    Ooh, I think I just solved it. I deleted the skin subfolder containing the skin file and then created another folder with a copy of the same skin file in it. When I imported the new skin, it worked, believing it to be a new file altogether.

    Thanks for your help.
