Hi All,
We've got an odd problem with an FM file (v 7.2b128 Win). When the doc
was released, the writer used the (timesaving and fabulously thorough)
Archive plugin to archive the project files and then used WinZip to create
a .zip archive (unencrypted) of the files. Shortly thereafter, the
original files were purged and only the .zip of the archived files
remains.
Today, we had to access the FM files from that zipped archive, and
everything restored in workable fashion, except for one chapter file,
which is now opening as view only, no matter what we do. We checked attrib
and it's not set to read-only. It's like it was locked for editing when
the archive was created, but we don't know for sure; that's just the only
explanation I can imagine for how we could find ourselves in this spot,
based on my experience with having opened files while they're locked by
another user. The Archive plugin didn't give an error or note as much in
the log, though, so that may not be the reason at all.
Regardless, we're in the rather untenable position of having to find a
way to get an editable version of an FM file from the view-only version of
it, with no record of a .lck file for it and no other version of the FM
file available. The view-only version has conditional text hidden that we
now need to show in the new version, so although I have been able to
convert the view-only file to TXT, all the hidden text was omitted from
the TXT version.
I did try to dig through the archives, but...I'm coming up empty-handed.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Rene Stephenson
