FM12 crashes always when using "Publish" after import some data from RH projects.

Dear all!

Obviously the reason for the crashes are the data from RH (master page, skin ...)

My question: How can I go back to the default settings of FM12?

And where can I find which kind of RH data is valid for the publish function.

    The Publish function in FM is composed of the guts of RH. I haven’t explored it much, but my gut feeling is that you still get to exert more control over the finished help product if you go the TCS route and either Import or Link FM to RH. This might change over the next few years.

    Not understanding – what did you do and what’s happening? There’s no direct RH to FM workflow (the other way around, yes).

    Sorry, I did not discribe the problem propperly. I tested the publish function in FM, did something wrong (don`t know what)

    the result: Fm freezes every time I click here:

    Now I changed some settings  (-> no skin, no RH isf-file ) and it seems to work at the end.

    So my FM freeze/crash problem is solved. But I have to know much more about this publish functionality.

    I do not understand yet what is going on... I will try to find some more information for my publishing breakthrough ;-)

    At the end one more question: Do you have the impression that the (multichannel) publish tool in FM have enough strength to

    replace RH as the tool to produce online help for linked FM data?
