Inserting Link from HelpStudio to Document!X project very slow

Hi,

I'm trying to insert a link from my HelpStudio project to a method in one of my Document!X assemblies and it seems as if HelpStudio is building an in-memory cache of every single namespace/class/method/property. The Insert Hyperlink dialog is showing the "HelpStudio is busy analyzing the Document!X project" but since I have over 30K individual "topics" in the docX project this will probably take about 30 to 45 minutes just to insert a single link.

Once I get a link inserted I'll checkout the HTML and just manually author other links, but I'm wondering if there's a way to bypass the reflection/in-memory cache of the docX project in the first place? It'd be nice if the docX project was cached in a database so it'd be quicker to lookup links instead of resorting to HTML.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

HelpStudio does need to load your assembly in order to provide the hyperlink designer tree of content, but this load is a limited 'on demand' load and shouldn't take a signficant amount of time to come up. It's also only done the first time you show the hyperlink dialog in a given session.
