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.

Hi, Yenelli

I've attached the script you need.

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

The logic is simple: remove image's dimensions so Robohelp can set them from the file.

It is similar to the "Reset image" operation which can be executed from the image's context menu.

In my everyday work I need this operation to be executed in each topic for every image for the localized HTML-files.

Screenshots in each localized version may be different sizes, but localized HTML-files are generated automatically using "old" information about image dimensions.

Now in Robohelp 7 I must open each topic and execute "Reset image" manually.

That's why I've downloaded the trial of Robohelp 8 and created this script.

Off: I'm waiting for my company purchase RH8...

I think the main problem here is how to identify image in the HTML.

Since you have solved this problem - you are free to do anything with the images .

Nice script indeed, This script can be modified to set the image size to any predefined size as well.

It is not imported from the file menu. Display the Script Explorer pod (View > Pods > Script Explorer). Then right click on it and select the Import option and point to the .jsx file.

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.

Hi,

Support for Extendscript is added in RoboHelp 8.0 version. Earlier version of RoboHelp dont have extendscript feature.

If I have a FM book linked by reference into RH and I am using this script, will I have to re-run the script everytime I update the FM books, before I publish the WebHelp?

And do I need to change anything in the script, besides the extension of the file to .jsx? I imported the script, click RUN, but nothing happened.

Thanks,

Adriana

Probably nothing more than a complete rework of RoboHelp.

Scripts get imported into the script editor and run from there when you want to use them, not from the Tools Pod.

The ReSize Tool resizes a specific image to the size you define when you use it.
