OT: Windows 7 operating systems, Windows Explorer failing to display files
2012-08-27-01T16:20Z Framers using Windows 7 operating systems: My setups: At work: Windows 7 Enterprise SP 1; at home: Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 NOTE: If you have experienced the problem described below, please reply - off-list, if you wish - so I can document to the Service Desk staff that, It's not just me, which I know it's not. Intermittently, irregularly, in both operating systems, Windows Explorer fails to display files I just saved. At work, I save 99 % of files into a security group of folders on a server on the LAN. At home, I save 99 % of files onto the hard drive of my workstation. Immediately after saving one or more files to either place, I start the files' native programs or use Windows Explorer to open the files. I navigate to the folder into which I just saved the file or files. The entries for the files do not appear. I choose the folder that contains the files, display the window for the folder's properties, and confirm that the Hidden check box has _no_check_mark_. I've even applied Hidden to the folder and then reversed the setting. Still no just-saved files displayed. As of this morning, the most-recent twist is that Windows Explorer displayed some files that I expected to see but that it did not display last Friday. Because one of my mapped network drives did not appear in Windows Explorer, I was advised to log off and to log back on, which I did. Windows Explorer displayed the missing drive just fine. _And_ again displayed the list of files as it had appeared last Friday. I suspect that there's a problem with Windows Explorer's caching of its displays or some such. So, to pursue a fix to the problem, I have to report it to the staff of the Service Desk. This is where your confirming my experience comes in. ¡Thanks! in advance for your time and interest.

Re: OT: Windows 7 operating systems, Windows Explorer failing to display files
I had that for a while. You forgot to mention whether you have a 64-bit computer. I think the problem by me was when I transferred a file using a 32-bit program. Windows Explorer, which I assume is 64-bit on a 64-bit OS, didn't always display the file. I haven't noticed in a while, so maybe a Windows update took care of it.

OT: Learning S1000D
Rick, Last year I attended a training session on S1000D and Simplified Technical English at our vendor Smart Communications, Inc., in New York City. We used the S1000D specification, 500 pages, which is the only published standard. Simplified Technical English is part of S1000D. The SMART MAXit Checker works with FrameMaker 7-10. We adapted for Controlled English with success. The use of S1000D and STE is mandatory for Airbus, NATO, air, land and sea.

I first try F5, which rarely works. Oftentimes, closing down the Explorer window and reopening it will force a refresh, and if not that, then a reboot is worth a try. I have occasionally gone to a command prompt window to make sure I really put the file where I think I did. In my experience, the command prompt always displays files correctly, confirming that this is an Explorer bug. It has (happily) been a long time since I've encountered it.

Further, one respondent reported having experienced this behavior for some years when using the Windows XP operating system. I did not experience this behavior when I had Windows XP, so "our mileage has varied (OMHV)." Regards, Dave Stamm Information Engineer General Dynamics C4 Systems, Inc.

OT: Windows 7 operating systems, Windows Explorer failing to display files
Did you refresh the display for the directory? That has always fixed those problems for me.

How to reset Frame's Default Configuration - Resolved
Thank you to everyone who replied. Originally, when I opened the Variables panel from the Special menu, selected my user variable then clicked the Edit tool, the fields in the Add/Edit dialog box were completely blank. I was able to add a new user variable just fine, but when I would open the new variable to edit, again the fields were blank. That is what led me to believe that this was something wrong in my Frame configuration. When I opened the Variables panel via the Window menu however, (thank you Rick!) I am now able to edit again. Is this a bug in Frame 9?? -Original Message- From: Combs, Richard [mailto:richard.co...@polycom.com] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2012 12:14 PM To: Thomas, Lynn; 'framers at lists.frameusers.com' Subject: RE: How to reset Frame's Default Configuration Thomas, Lynn wrote: > I inadvertently converted my user variables to text in one of my > documents. *All* user variables?

That's because there isn't anything variable-related in maker.ini, and there's no variable-related dumb change that you could have made to FM. Can you edit the file? (It's possible to accidentally put a file into read-only mode, but then you can't edit the text either.) > I also tried replacing the maker.ini > file with a backup but that didn't work either. I did find a setting > for variables in the mif2rtf.ini file , and changed it to > ConvertVariables=No but again, that didn't change anything. Whoa, you're way off base here -- mif2rtf.ini is a Mif2Go config file, not an FM config file. It governs the conversion process when you use Mif2Go to export an FM file to Word. > I then > completely uninstalled FrameMaker and reinstalled it but it is still > keeping my original configuration and will not let me edit my user > variables. Does anyone know how I can reset Frame to its original > default configuration or at least get the option to edit my user > variables back? Re-installsheimer's disease, as Dov Isaacs calls it. Your problem isn't an FM install/config problem. But I think you need to clarify exactly what steps you take and what doesn't work before anyone can help you. Richard G.
