Error when running script to reset size - bad argument gettokenmanager

[roseacea]

Hello,

I use RoboHelp HTML 8 (currently on 8.0.2.208) and have a project with a number of user interface images that are going to be translated. The translated images will likely be of different size, so I need to have a fast way of reseting all the image sizes in my project.

I discovered Chasnikov's script "reset all images" on the thread:

http://forums.adobe.com/message/2128583#2128583

which seems just perfect for my situation.

Not wanting to test this on my real project, I made a copy in a different location and tested out the script. The script ran for a while, but then abruptly ended with the following message:

Bad argument getTokenManager

In looking at the output window it seemed like it stopped in the middle of a topic after going through a number of topics. For my test situation, I only replaced a few graphics in a few topics and when I checked this limited sample, they all seemed to be correctly resized.

However, my concern is that if I use this script in my real project, it won't actually resize all of the images.

Any ideas why the script is terminating abruptly?

By the way, I did find a similar question about this error message in the thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/2551147

however, the solution to add the line msg(filepath); to the script resulted in another error -- RH did not recognize 'msg' as a valid command.

Thanks, Rose

Hi Rose,

Welcome to the RoboHelp community. Although I'm not the author of the script, I hope I can help you.

I just tested the script on a project and I didn't get any errors. The following may solve your problem:

Open the script and go to line 41. Add a new line and add try { to that line. Now go to line 76 (before the last } of the script) and add a new line. Add } catch(e) {  outputMsg("\nError while processing file '"+filepath+"'\n"); }.

Every time the script cannot process a topic or snippet, the script creates an error message. Hope this helps.

Greet,

Willam

Thanks Willam for the advice. In the meantime I realized that there was something wrong with my project--because the word count script also gave me the same error message -- so I ran it on another version of the project and it was just fine.

There are two questions that your response brings to mind:

1. How are you able to see the line numbers in the script?  When I edit the script, it opens in Notepad and I can't turn on line numbers. I have discovered, that if I have word wrap off, I can use Goto and specifiy a line number to go to.  Are you using a different text editor?

2. The reset size script doesn't announce that it is finished.  It just seems to stop displaying things in the output window, but it doesn't give me a message to say it has finished.  Can you recommend some code I could add to the reset size script to output that it has finished processing sucessfully?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rose,

I use the Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit. It's a free tool for creating and editing scripts and you should have it installed when you use RoboHelp 8. You can also use a text editor like Notepad++. Both show line numbers and have syntax highlighting.

As to a message, add alert('Script executed'); on line 31. When the script finished, RoboHelp will show an alert.

Greet,

Willam
