Output Generation "Warning: Favicon undefined is not an image" what is this and where?

My HTML5 Output Generation is producing in its warning log:

"Warning: Favicon undefined is not an image"

It does not explain what this means, and much worse, it gives no further detail about the file name involved, and a line number where the problem occurs.

That is a nearly useless Warning or Error message. Adobe, please fix ASAP by having every Warning or Error message state: the related file and line number stated as a minimum, and have an explanation of the warning or error somewhere.

Solution turns out to be:

1. Select: Output Preset of HTML5.

2. Select "General" Tab

3. select an image for the Favicon field.

 

The "warning" is gone from inside the Log file, but the finished generated dialog image shown below still says there still is "some warnings", when none exist inside the Log file.

For others stumbling across this thread - "It means either you haven't defined a Favicon, which is fine if you don't want one, or what you have defined is not a valid image."

Upon checking again. Yes, there are warnings highlited in the middle of the large output file. I just assumed the warnings would be at the end of the file, like the previous warnings were as relating to the favicon and other issues.

Any idea what causes the warning message in the HTML5 Output Log file, repeated two times in a row:

Warning: Skipped copying external file "C:/Users/john/Documents//output/atus.htm"

Warning: Skipped copying external file "C:/Users/john/Documents//output/atus.htm"

No "lines highlighted yellow"!

But before the Favicon was added, the warning line I stated was present and highlighted in yellow.

So it is generating OK now?

 

The most common source of warnings is where a link is to something that is not part of the project. See Item 8 in RoboHelp Gems.
