RE: Broken x-refs after archiving

2015-01-30 Thread Craig Ede
Ken,

If the Archiver is the one Adobe posted at:
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/07/create-a-book-packager-using-extendscript.html
There is a problem where a files are duplicated in the Insets folder and then a 
second Insets folder is created within that folder. The xrefs then resolve to 
the files in that folder. The solution is to redirect the xrefs to the files at 
the root footer of the archive (as described below). If editing takes place in 
the interim, you can have a frightful mess, I'd guess.

Here's a comment and the response I posted on that http:// page regarding the 
problem:

Hi, thanks for this excellent script. A great time 
saver. However I should report that it copies the referenced insets 
twice: in the user specified archive directory then in the Insets 
sub-directory. Can this be corrected easily? Thanks again.

It does more than that (and this is also a problem). It 
also (at least at times), puts copies of files in a book into the Insets
 folder and then uses those as the targets for cross references. I had 
to delete these files, make mifs of the affected files in the main 
directory and do a find/replace in the mifs:

find:  Utilities --> Archive

 

·   
A
spot-check of various x-refs in the FrameMaker files in the archive folder for
the book show some but not all broken x-refs.

 

·   
The
x-refs in the original FrameMaker book files remain OK and intact.

 

·   
There
doesn't seem to be any pattern, except that the broken x-refs occur ONLY in the
archived FrameMaker files.

 

NOTE:
One of our other department writers just performed an archive test where the 
book and member files were
located on and also archived onto her hard drive and the problem persists.
Is there only one archive plug-in/script out there (that is, the one we use), 
or is there another  one -- even for a fee?
