Strange new RoboHelp file types

Explorer ,
Oct 30, 2008 Oct 30, 2008
There are some weird file types showing up in my RoboHelp project: trb, .trf, .tridxl, .trk, .trl, .trs., .trt, .trtocl, .trv.
I've seen two postings in the RoboHelp forums, but no one seems to know why they're appearing. I found them with Beyond Compare when I was getting ready to check them into source control (Microsoft Visual Studio).

Does anyone know what these are? They didn't show up in Adobe's knowledgebase or in a Google search.

I'm not positive, but I think I saw some of these before. They were temporary files that appeared during output generation. When RH was done generating the output files, the files disappeared.

If I'm recalling/identifying these files correctly, then maybe that means your output generation didn't terminate cleanly. I wouldn't put those files into source control.

OK, I just saw this in action. The files do appear during output generation. They go away when you close the dialog box that tells you help was generated.

I'm using RH6.

Hi Gina.
If you display your output view when you compile, are there are messages displayed which would give a clue as to why these files are left behind?
