Question

RH8 .fpj files empty

I converted my project from RH5. If I add a new folder or add files to the project, no updates are made to .fpj files. If I add a folder, the name of the folder is not added to the .fpj file in the parent folder. If I import files, the file names are not added to the .fpj file in the folder. All of the .fpj files in my image folders are empty. I have to create and update the .fpj files entirely by hand. Does anybody know what gives with this?


My image file names do not appear in the Project. How can I get them there without adding them one by one?

The Update DHTML Effects tool seems to have had a serious impact on this project and should have been run first thing.

I have not seen anyone else have a problem running it at any point and I have used it on a lot of projects.

Have you got your images back in Project Manager following my suggestion.

Yes. Your suggestion did work for the images. Thanks.

The best I can say is that if I try to add a new folder to the converted project before running the DHTML fixer, RH8 crashes. If I run the fixer and then add a folder, all is well. This was as much as I had time to test for right now.

Do you have both patches applied?

I do indeed.

If you import a few of those topics into a new project, do the FPJs do their job? We haven't seen this issue before.

If that works, get a copy of the X5 backup and upgrade again. If not, perhaps a good bottle of wine?

Post back whatever happens.
