Script to "Reset size" for all images in a RoboHelp project

New UI. Quick fix to pull new screenshots is hampered by the size constraints of graphics.

Is there a (third party or built in) script that will reset size for all the images in a RoboHelp HTML project?

RH8, RoboHelpHTML bulished as WebHelp.

PS the filter in Adobe Forums doesn't allow me to limit the search to RoboHelp HTML and WebHelp; I don't have any other Adobe products, so all the hits don't apply.

Hi, Yenelli

I've attached the script you need.

Just save it with the "jsx" extension and import it to Robohelp.

Hi,

I have saved the file with jsx on at the end, placed in in the right folder, but when I try to import it in Robohelp it cannot find the textdocument.

How do I import it to Robohelp?

Which option do i choose? (see attached image)

The script is still a text document altough it is saved with jsx at the end? should it convert to another format there, or is it right that its still a textdoc?

Have a release coming up in a few days so its quite a hurry and there is hundreds of images to resize.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for your quick answers Peter and McAndrew!

Maybe I don't have that oportunity in my version of Robohelp 7. I just get the opitions shown in the attached screenshot below.

I have tried some of the alternatives, for example snippets but it does not find the jsx file.

Sorry.. this functionality is available in Robohelp 8 only.

I have this problem too.

Faststone Resizer will resize the images assuming you want them all one size or can run several passes picking different files each time.

Download their free viewer too. It is excellent.

Do make a copy of your project first.

You will have to go through each topic that has images, right click on each image and reset the size. RH's settings in the topic are for the size you want to display which may not be the image size.

Maybe import one topic into a test project to try it out first.

Another option, if you don't mind writing a script, is to use the Script Explorer feature in RH8.
