Hi RoboCommunity:
I am using RoboHelp 10 and producing HTML help .chm
I am lone-writer crafting help for a new product. The company purchasing the product and online help provided me with one of their help files, so I could produce something similar.
I have several unique .htt files. Each type provides a unique look and feel (yellow mean one thing, blue means another, etc).
The compiled help includes the following warning:
HHC4006: Warning:
The file "images\qual_01.gif" is already listed in the [FILES] section of the project file.
I have a total of 5 of these warnings. Each warning is associated with a different .gif image.
I have searched the directory for possible duplicates, but there are none.
I used RoboHelp many years ago until my twin girls arrived. They are now 14. My previous version was RH v4. I think this is the correct forum to pose this question. Please forgive my post if it is in error.
Thank you for any assistance.

Hi there
This is likely just an innocuous warning that the files are listed as Baggage or something. If you add a file as Baggage and it exists in a topic, it really doesn't hurt anything.
If the warnings bother you, you might want to perform a quick double-check of your baggage and see if they are listed there.
Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,
I took a leap of faith and removed the problem xxx.gif from the baggage files... Clean run!
I still need to do a little more research/education regarding Baggage Files.
Thanks again!

Think of Baggage files as a simple way to include content that the help system may not be aware of. Imagine going on a trip with a child. Perhaps you are traveling to the beach. The child may need a large umbrella to keep shaded. You know this, but the child doesn't. So you toss a big umbrella in the trunk of the car. When you get to the beach, you now have access to the umbrella because it is in the trunk. The same holds true for RoboHelp and Baggage.
Cheers... Rick

Rick - - I don't have an umbrella (Baggage file).. That said, I have similar errors (ref below) when outputting CHM and inquiring where to look next, so I can clean up the dust.
Thank You!

... And many more...
Note: CHM files operational wise, are not an issue. However, the warnings bothers the boss .
