I am migrating our RoboHelp 2002 HTML Help projects into
RoboHelp 7. It seems that they import just fine, but if I
don’t save and close RoboHelp 7 and then re-open the project,
problems occur.
If I import a project and immediately try to view/edit the
Properties for a Single Source Layout (for example, right-clicking
Microsoft HTML Help>Properties), RoboHelp chugs along at a
snail’s pace. Sometimes it takes 4-6 minutes just to open the
Properties dialog box, and on other projects it takes so long that
I have to let it process overnight. This also happens if I import a
project and Generate Primary Layout (for example, compiling a CHM)
without closing and re-opening the project first.
To summarize, if I open RoboHelp, import a project, close
RoboHelp, and then re-open the project in RboHelp 7, all is well.
However, if I open RoboHelp, import a project, and then compile or
try to access the HTML Help Options dialog, it takes at about 20
times as long to complete the process.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen
