Hello Framers, FYI, there is a discussion and solution regarding this problem on my blog:
http://frameautomation.com/2010/02/12/unexpected-absolute-path/ Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-659-8267 r...@frameexpert.com *** Frame Automation blog at http://frameautomation.com -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of bruce.macart...@vsea.com Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 7:57 AM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Path to graphics updated in FM8 Hello All, Our documents have the potential of being generic to be used in multiple manuals. To achieve that, our safety icons are in a common location. The FM files and associated graphics should always be together. When we move the folders to another manual, everything should remain relative. With FM8, writers go to our server and open a file, if the graphics are not positioned correctly, the writer updates the location and FM8 changes the location to absolute. Subsequent files that are opened and saved change the graphic path to absolute and do not ask for the path change. Is there any way to shut this off so that if a file is opened and the relative path is incorrect, that it asks for the path update. The only other way of verifying the path is to do a LOR.
