We have a large RoboHTML project that outputs to a WebHelp
system. The version of RoboHelp is X 5, possibly a version after
that, I think - but dated 2004. Two of us share this project, but
we don't use Version Control. The size of the project is about 45
MB, and includes several subfolders of topic HTMs. My coworker has
the same issues, possibly a bit faster than what I have, but still
excessive Open and Close Project times.
It takes an extremely long time to open, like about 10
minutes or more. When I select to Close Project, the CPU Usage
shown in Task Manager is up to 100 % and stays there, so the
closing process is maxed out and frozen, and obviously isn't happy.
Even when I close other applications, the project can take over 30
minutes to close - no error messages, just hourglassing. While I'm
using the project, it doesn't max out. There have been times when,
as much as I hated to do it, I had to do an End Task with Task
Manager because the project wasn't closing (and I had to leave).
Also, note that the CPD file of this project is over 4 MB. I
just was reading about deleting the CPD file, so I plan on doing
that.
I'm not sure of any more details I can provide. While I'm
working on the project, there are usually no freezes or response
time problems. Just the extremely long Open Project time - and even
longer Close Project time.
I would so appreciate any solutions or ideas. Thanks!!!
