Sorry, I did mean the Images folder in project manager.
As for the network piece, here's my current set-up. Myself
and another RH author maintain 2 RoboHelp projects of about 800
topics each. The live project files are on the network and we both
access them over the LAN (albeit
not at the same time).
Frequently, I copy the live project to my desktop to create a
"test file" and work on individual topics there. When the topics
are ready, I copy and paste them or input them back into the live
project on the LAN.
Knock on wood... we have had no major problems with this
approach. (Maybe because our projects aren't as large as some
users?) The response time over the network is very good. This has
made me wonder why you and Rick caution against it so much, since
we've had next to no problems. And since the network is backed up
every night, we don't need to do manual backups (except of the test
projects on our desktops).
The only issues I encounter are the following, which don't
appear related to my projects being on a LAN, since they happen
with my local projects as well:
- Adding a file to the baggage file doesn't work, except by the
following methods: importing a topic imports all the baggage files
or images it uses, manually editing rhbag.apj or dragging/dropping
an image.
- Imported topics are added with the filename in all lower-case.
Since RH won't let you change only the letter-casing, I have to
change it to an intermediate filename before changing it back to
the intended filename.
