RTF output location
« on: June 07, 2010, 07:22:06 pm »
Hi
Does anyone else find this annoying?
When creating RTF documents the 'Output to file' location is retained from one invocation to the next. This means that I must remember to change the location for each document I create. If I forget then the original is overwritten.

Same thing with MDG profiles...  Here, though, the overwrites are more than just annoying...

If the profile isn't right, EA silently fails...

I have been using the configure resource for documents to hold the name of my template, name of the root package, and output document name for each report I generate. I setup the resource one time and generate the document from this RTF Document resource each time. (Right click on the resource and select "Generate Document")

Create a new configure resource for documents from the "Generate RTF Documentation" dialog by clicking on the "Resource Document" tab. The resource document is located by opening the resources tab:

View|Other Project Tools|Resources

followed by opening the Resource | Documents | RTF Documents resource.

This doesn't clear out the "output to file" field. It just helps error-proof the process of generating documents.
