Well ...all I did was try to open the project and then my
computer just shut down all the sudden. Then when I restarted it,
and tried to open the project again, I got the corrupt file
message. I'm using Windows Explorer and I am the only author. No
one else has Robohelp on their computer here. My boss puts the help
file in a source safe file after I send it to him so that the banks
can access it, but that is all he does with it. Is VSS the source
safe file? Anyway, I just hope it doesn't happen again. Thanks for
the help!
If you could tell us what you did before the file got
corrupted that would help a little? Or at least the
platform/environment where you use Robohelp. What operating system
are you using? are you the only author? do you use VSS, do you use
Robohelp Source control, etc etc, the more information the better.
I can honestly say that Robohelp is one of the most robust
programs that I have ever used. I rarely get a corrupt project/.cpd
file, rarely get an unexpected closedown and pretty well push the
product to the limits. We've been working on combining a lot of
merged projects and had four of five RH sessions running without
problems.
Like all programmes, it does not harm to close them down once
in a while and consolidate things.
The only issue that comes to mind is the undo feature. If you
hit Ctrl-Z enought times, robohelp will balk at you and close down.
