Adobe RoboHelp 8: Avoid Recent Project Confusion

by Kevin Siegel  

So
there you are, looking at the Adobe RoboHelp recent projects list when
you run face-first into a confusing dilemma: you accidentally opened
the backup version of your project from the server. You closed the
backup right away but now both versions of your project appear in the
recent projects list.

Hmmmm…
if you use your mouse to point to each of the project names in the
list, you will see the location of each project. Problem solved. Simply
read the destination and ensure you open the correct version of the
project. Of course, if you're like me, you are often in a rush to get
the project open and get your work done. It would be a shame to open
the wrong project.

Wouldn't it be better to simply remove the unwanted project from the recent projects list? I think so… and here's how

  1. Choose Tools > Options.
  2. On the General tab, select the project you do not want to accidentally open from the Most recently used project area.
  3. Click the Delete button (don't worry, clicking the Delete
    button will not delete the project… instead, it will simply remove
    the reference from the recent projects area).

  4. Click the OK button.

    And just like that, the project that was causing all of the stress will be missing from the recent project list.
