1. Re: RoboHelp 8 compiler produces File dated 3 years ago
Captiv8r Jul 2, 2009 1:19 PM (in response to SteelcaseMark)Hi there
We have seen this many times over the years. Basically in every case what happened was the person experiencing the issue had more than one copy of the .CHM file on the PC and they were viewing the older copy.
Yes, I know you are clicking the View Result button and what you should be seeing is the latest. But take a moment and use the good old Windows Find utility to locate all occurrences of the .CHM file name.
You will likely be surprised at what you find.

Thanks, but no luck. Sure the good old find found the older versions, but the Output Folder and File Name in my HTML Help Options contains the "old" version. I have deleted the output folder and its contents, and compiled again, but the Output Folder and File Name get recreated with the 6/21/06 file. Just one of those things that make you say: "Hmm..."

Could this be a Version Control "thing"? I installed the latest Version Control, have never used it, but perhaps I hit a combination of control keys or random mouse clicks around the File menu triggered something?

At this point it could be related, but I doubt it.
I seem to recall a recent thread where this was happening to someone else. (Scratching head and trying to recall....)
Seems they had some sort of software monitoring changes on their PC that was the culprit. Have you tried a search of the forums? Seems I saw this within the last 3 months or so.

5. Re: RoboHelp 8 compiler produces File dated 3 years ago
SteelcaseMark Jul 6, 2009 8:56 AM (in response to Captiv8r)Rick,
Thanks for the links. I'll look into them. I changed the Output File Name and the .chm file was the correct version. To tempt fate, I changed the Output File Name back to the original, and the issue still remains.
As for the re-naming issue, the developers would not like to change the filename. I have six single-sourch output so I would not want to change the the fielname each time I compile the source file.
Anyway, I'll mark you answer as "Helpful". Thanks for your time.

6. Re: RoboHelp 8 compiler produces File dated 3 years ago
SteelcaseMark Jul 7, 2009 6:03 AM (in response to SteelcaseMark)here is how I resolved the issue:
I deleted every version of the .chm file with the same name on my PC (not to worry, I did not delete the source) and re-compiled. The .chm file was created with the correct date and changes.
