RoboHelp 9.0.0.228/Server 9
WebHelp Pro
Single Project (upgraded from RH x5 to RH9)
What does the color represent on these folders? Today is the first day the folders have appeared this way (previously, they were solid yellow).

Hi Eva
The color indicates there is content inside that has a Conditional Build Tag applied to it.
Cheers... Rick

Thanks! Glad to hear that it is a feature (versus an indication of a problem). Is there a way to turn this feature on or off? It's odd that we just started seeing them today.

Hello again
I'm not sure if it was you or another poster where I saw this. But in the last couple of days I recall reading a response from Adobe to someone here on the forums where they were advising something about conditional content in Frame and they advised some switch in the conversion settings could be flipped so that the conditions in Frame survived the trip into RoboWorld. Was that your by chance? If so, that would explain why you suddenly began seeing this.
The only way I can fathom to coax the colors not to show is by removing all conditionals.
Cheers... Rick

Rick,
That was someone else's post. This change came about unexpectedly and we don't know what triggered it. Even though the change is a mystery, the explanation that they represent CBTs is enough .
Thank you,
Eva

Hi,
You can enable/disable this by clicking View> Show > Conditional Areas

Eva, please report back and tell us whether that works for you. My suspicion is that we may be seeing a bug introduced with RoboHelp 9. I recall trying that and it didn't change anything in my Project Manager view. That's why I didn't suggest it to you. Then again, I was using version 9 at the time.
But after seeing Willam's suggestion I decided to do a double check. Because 8 fires up immediately for me and 9 takes about three minutes (have no clue why) I fired up 8 and sure enough this option appears to work in 8. I'm currently waiting for 9 to load up so I can double check there.
Cheers... Rick

Those menu options exist, but they do not appear to be working in RH 9 (no change to appearance of folders).

Thanks for the confirmation! I suppose we should all now report the bug!

Yes, it's kind of cool Rick - you can set your conditions in FM and then bring in the "conditioned" content into RH OR you can let the FM conditions "flow through" to RH and then set their use in your SSL when you create the output. Matt Sullivan had a blog post about doing the former at http://temp.roundpeg.com/2010/06/tcs-tips-for-conditional-text/
