Question

HTML Import

When I import a topic from another project, what files will end up being imported. Is there a way to ensure that only the one file is imported (I have stripped all pictures out of the topic). I don't need the CSS file. It appears to be importing more than one document, but I cannot see what else is being imported.

I believe when you import you will get the topic, any attached CSS, and any images that are referenced by the topic.

The CSS is likely unavoidable. But it's an easy fix.

Cheers... Rick

Great. Thanks. I appreciate it. I have one more question. If an image is saved to a project folder using windows explorer and then added to a topic, will robohelp always make a copy of the image to the top level folder (causing me to have two copies of the image in my project folders)?

Interesting. All I can do is report what happens on my own setup. I've used RoboHelp for more than 20 years. Started off using it when I was a corporate drone and I had a local area network that I used. But in all that time, I've only ever had my projects on my local C drive. I would generate output and copy that output to a server for others to then have access to.

I am aware that in recent years Adobe has made changes so RoboHelp better handles working with projects on a network. But even still, there can be issues.

It seems odd to me that it would insist on placing a copy of an image at the root. Without seeing the project first hand it's difficult to say why it may be operating as you are reporting.

I suppose that even if it does insist on copying the image to the project root, you are always free to use the Project Manager pod and drag the image to the folder where you actually want it.

Cheers... Rick


Thanks. I appreciate your help. It is an odd problem. It caused quite a bit of confusion for us, but we will have to deal with it.
