When are you planning to support fully the latest (Premium Pack 1.23) skinning features of Help & Manual? If I select a skin file in the action setup, it applies it to the CHM build only (as it announces) and does not apply the skin to Webhelp build (where there are the full set of features). And where it does apply the skin, it does so only partially: most of the added buttons are omitted. Now that we are using the new skin features (to great effect) it is annoying to have to disable the FB actions and do the builds manually every time! I have a question in to EC Software to see if they can help me construct a suitable command file to run in the mean time.

Hi Tim
I have added support for Web Help and Visual Studio help (those are the only other formats that support skins), however I don’t actually have any skins to test with! As for the skins only partially working, my guess is that is an issue with H&M, we are specifying the options as documented in their help file.
I’ll post here when we have a build with the new options included (probably tomorrow).

If you have the help file which includes all the skin options, I assume you have the Premium Pack itself, which includes 14 sample skins. I asked in the EC Software forum how to do this from a command line, and the answer was “You can do this with command line options quite easily, as all the skin build options can be specified with the corresponding /I= options. These are listed with the syntax in the Command Line Compiling topic in the Premium Pack help chapter added to the main Help & Manual help when you install the PP. To specify the skin itself in the command line you just use the /O= switch and then the path and filename of the .hmskin file you are using.”
The available /I= options for the latest premium pack are OPT\_3FRAME,OPT\_BREADTRAIL,OPT\_FB,OPT\_PRINT,OPT\_TOGGLE,OPT\_SUBTITLE,OPT\_URL,OPT\_ATOC,OPT\_SORTABLE
The fact that some of the buttons are missing in the output would be a consequence of some of these options not being set. They would need to be selectable in your action dialog if (as I assume) they cannot easily be pulled from the main project.

We only have support for specifying the skin file, which is all there is in the main product. We don’t have the premium pack, I have requested a copy and will take a look it when that happens.

Excellent! Works well. Apologies for the delay in getting back to this.
