Peter Grainge Jun 23, 2009 12:54 AM (in response to Veteditor)Is the project on a network drive (bad) or a local drive(good)?

5. Re: RoboHelp 8 File Crashes when inserting Baggage Files
Peter Grainge Jun 23, 2009 11:07 PM (in response to Veteditor)My next step would be to create anothe small project and test in that.
If the problem still occurred, I would then test one of the supplied sample projects.
There is no source control involved here, correct?

Veteditor Jun 24, 2009 8:25 AM (in response to Peter Grainge)Hi,
No source control is involved. Another developer and I are working on projects which we recently rebuilt from a much larger file - all new project files. He is not having this problem with the files; I am. We copy files back to a network drive at the end of each work day, and then back to our "c" drives for work flow.
Another problem I'm having is that hyperlink text within tables is changing from the specified color in the .css; we have verified that the color specifics are the same for visited and unvisited links. Hyperlinks default at random from the specified color to standard blue. It does not matter how they are created, either from linking to a file or external link manually or via drag-and-drop. And this is totally random, within the same table, that some links will be the correct color and others will turn blue.
Appreciate your ideas; I'll try the sample project as soon as I have time. Thanks.

Peter Grainge Jun 24, 2009 10:09 AM (in response to Veteditor)How are you copying to the network? I have seen people have problems when they simply copy and paste between drives. Zip up c:\myproject and put the zip on the network. Why do you have to copy it back? Just carry on working next day and zip up again.
Prefix myproject .zip with the date in YYMMDD format (090624_myprojec.zip) and you will have a bank of backups that sort into order. Copy the zip back or to other machines if necessary.
Are you always working on one project and the other developer on another? Have you tried your project on their machine? This would indicate whether the problem is machine or project specific.
Re your links, see Snippets on my site. They need to be in a specific order in the CSS. Make changes to the CSS in Notepad.

8. Re: RoboHelp 8 File Crashes when inserting Baggage Files
Veteditor Jun 24, 2009 12:52 PM (in response to Peter Grainge)The reason for copying back is that the other developer and I have been exchanging file projects - he is working on his C drive and I'm working on my C drive, and occasionally we will exchange files. We do not yet employ Source Control. We haven't been zipping the projects, just copying them to a new folder by date. I'm not sure how copying projects would differ from zipping them, in relation to preserving content.

Peter Grainge Jun 24, 2009 1:46 PM (in response to Veteditor)I didn't say the difference was logical, just that I have seen it work where copying caused issues. Your call.
