Re: SV: [docbook-apps] Unable to change the output folder of Docbook Webhelp

[Sorin Ristache <sorin@sync.ro>]

Hi,

You have to set the same value that you want for the output folder also 
in the parameters of the DocBook WebHelp transformation called base.dir 
and output.dir. Just switch to the Parameters tab in the dialog box 
where you set the output folder and set the same value in these two 
parameters.

I am sorry about this inconvenient repetition of the output folder 
value. We know about it and we plan to improve the integration of the 
DocBook XSL stylesheets by implementing a unification of the DocBook XSL 
parameters like base.dir with the other options available for a DocBook 
transformation in the Oxygen GUI like the output folder setting.


Best regards,
Sorin
