Question

How can I move multiple files in Project Manager

I have a lot of image files that need to move them to a ScreenShot folder in the Project Manger, but I can't select multiple files with the Shift key for example and need to move them one by one? Is there an easier way?

Hi there

Unfortunately there just isn't a simple way. Project Manager is always a one by one operation.

However, if you are moving all the images to a folder named "ScreenShot", you could probably accomplish it by using the RoboHelp find and replace to amend all the image references. Then sneak behind RoboHelp's back and move the files using Windows Explorer.

You would likely also need to clobber the CPD file and let RoboHelp rebuild it after you were finished.

And I cannot stress this enough, make a backup for our dear friend Mr. Case before you begin.

Cheers... Rick

Hi there,

I am moving images from the root level of project manager to an images folder. If I follow your suggestions, will all the links still move over that are associated with the image files?

Best regards,

Joseph Leonard

Hi there

Absolutely! Remember, the links are actually in the individual topic code. When you move the images, RoboHelp is simply amending that code to reference the new image location.

Cheers... Rick
