Thanks for your reply, Willam.

We use the "Open project from version control" option and then have to navigate through the folder structure in TFS.

I suspect that we'd have to find a way to create a 'shortcut' in TFS/Source Control, not in RoboHelp.

Best regards,

Carol

If you look closely at the image of the open project dialog, you will notice an option 'Open project from version control' right in Rick's image. That may be what you're looking for.

Kind regards,

Willam

Good morning, Rick.

I think that your method works only if you open the project from a local folder, not for opening the project from Version Control.

The project is stored on a Team Foundation Server and is mapped to a local workspace. If we open the project locally, we are then not working from Version Control.

Hi there

You might try adding the folder to the "My Places".

In RoboHelp, click File > Open and browse to the folder. Then from the RoboHelp dialog, click the Tools drop-down as shown below and choose "Add to My Places"..

Once you have added it, you then should see an icon in that left panel you may click to just "go there".

Hopefully that will work the way you want... Rick

Environment

Visual Studio Professional 2010

RoboHelp 11

When we open a project from Version Control (in Team Foundation Server), we perform the following steps:

Navigate to the Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider
Connect to a TFS Server
Choose the folder in TFS, which requires 6-7 clicks through the folder tree.

Is there a way in RoboHelp to 'remember' the location of the XPJ in Source Control so that we don't have to repeat the eight clicks each time?

Thanks.

Carol
