New CPD File - 100s of broken links

  • April 22, 2009

I'm using RoboHelp 8 and my CPD file keeps getting bigger and bigger (~16,000KB). If I delete it and open the .xpj file, the CPD is smaller (~1,800KB), but 100s of links are broken.

I tried selecting the Options > General > Clear project cache (.cpd) before opening any project setting, but the same thing happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Debbie

    I justed wanted to add that by broken links I meant that in the Project Manager under the "Broken Link" folder, there are 100s of .html files that need to be restored.

    Deleting the CPD file should not on its own create broken links. Were you doing any moving / renaming / deleting of files beforehand?

    Another thing to check is that the path to these HTM files is relative (e.g. foldername\topic.htm) rather than absolute (e.g. C:\foldername\topic.htm). Are the broken links, links to other topics in the same project - in which case they will be realtive if you have added them correctly - or to other HTM files external to the project (e.g in another CHM). In this later case, it is good practice to use relative paths to ensure the link works no matter where the help file is placed.

    I removed the .xpj file as well as the .cpd file and then opened the

    project via the .hhp file and now there are no broken links.

    This worked both on the network and on the local directory.

    Thanks,
