Problem with merged webhelp (Robohelp 10) linking to child projects

Hi,

I recently upgraded from Robohelp 9 to 10.

I used merged Webhelp as outlined on Peter Grange's website. To link between child projects the hyperlink would be entered as:

../Folder/Filename.htm

Since upgrading to 10, new hyperlinks cannot be entered in this format as the OK button when inserting a hyperlink will not let you save.

Existing links still work using the format above.

Is this a change in 10 or am i doing something wrong?


Thanks

Hold on. Your first post talked about linking to topics in child projects. Now you are talking about external links. Which of the two is it?

The fact that your IT guy applied the update should not affect anything.

A full clean re-installation of RH10 did fix this problem with not being able to enter relative paths to child projects.

Yes it should work in exactly the same way. Are you saying that the OK button is greyed out or that it doesn't save what you are entering? Is your project on a local drive?

It wont let me save. Clicking OK does not close the Hyperlink window.

It seems to want the full URL. It will save then.

Yes the project is on a local drive.
