Hi Klaus,
I haven't done this for a full-blown project. But, yes, I did try it
on a smaller one before sending this out to you.

The thing I did different was, I closed RoboHTML and renamed the image
folder in Windows Explorer. This could do the trick?

Cheers,
Mayur

Hi Mayur,

Thank you for the tip.

Is this something you have successfully done?

What I am finding out is that you have no way of forcing an images from a new folder onto a build using conditional tags.

For instance, I used two versions of the same document. The documents only differed by the graphics and product names.
I imported the documents into Robo, and tried tricking Robo by cross-naming the imported images folder.

When you do this, Robo not only renames the images folder, it also renames the HTML topics folder as well. There seems to be no way to break the link between the original images folder imported with a document and the associated HTML topics.

On the other hand, one can simply insert the two different images into the same document and use conditional tags. This is one possible solution we will look into. It does not matter, after all, as this is the source.

Regards,

Klaus

What if you store the images in a different folder but with the same names?
...and while compiling the output, you only have to rename the folders.

For example,

Condition A

/Images
/Images_Condition_B

Condition B
/Images (formerly was /Images_Condition_B)
/Images_Condition_A (formerly was /Images)
