Hello everyone.
What I have:
What I want to do:
I've tested importing about a dozen topics in different folders to make sure everything works and I'm quite pleased with the result. As far as I understand, Robohelp is not aware of the folders/files in your project folder, and does not have a feature to batch import. Adding new files manually for every version just isn't an option.
Is there any way to do what I want? I am completely willing to write a small program that will modify the appropriate files for me. I just don't know what to modify to make this happen. I've tried editing the .fpj files in each folder, but that didn't include the topic in the generated output. So then I edited the .hhp file, and the topic was included in the final generated output, but did not have the screen layout applied to it. So I know I'm close, but missing something.
I appreciate any insight. Thanks.
Two options.
1] Just create a copy of the project in File Explorer, rename the project and clean up.
2] Recreate the folder structure. For each folder you can select all the files in it in one go, you don't have to import file by file. Not sure if you realised that.
As you have found, you cannot import the folder structure.

You can also create the project structure and run my missing topics fixer script. That will also include all topics and folders in your project: Missing topics fixer | WvanWeelden.eu

Great, thank you. I will submit an enhancement request to Adobe.
