Re: batch import formats

[Matt Sullivan]

I solve the dilemma you're facing using what I call a template-based workflow. Realistically, the formats of your docs don't have to be updated until the next time you edit or output content. When you begin a revision cycle on a book, import formats across all child Frame docs. (it's easy to do this at the book level) That way your files will stay in line with your latest template, and you won't have a 6,000 file process to chew on.  If the files never get updated again, there's no need to ensure they have the updated template... -Matt Matt R.

The files are in different folders on a filesystem. We could open all these files and import the formats manually, but maybe there is a less time consuming way to do this. Does anyone know if this could this be done with FrameScript?     Thanks,   Anneke Von den Hoff   _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as m...@mattrsullivan.com.
