Re: Ventura encoded text files

Hi David Ah, good old Ventura Publisher! Those were the days. We have used Maker Markup Language (MML) for this type of conversion jobs. We just opened the VP text files in Notepad++ or EditPad Lite and replaced the VP markup (@REF =) with maker markup (ref). Then, we simply imported the MML

Helping FM find graphics files

Framers, I received translated .fm files (book file + several chapters) from my translation company. When I plunk them into my FM folder and try opening them, FM flags every referenced graphic file as missing, because the path got messed up at the translation company. (It's almost but not just

RE: Helping FM find graphics files

Wouldn't it be easier to move the graphics folder? In any case, all you need to do is find the first graphic and make sure use new path for all graphics (may not be exact wording) is selected. Peter From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com]

Re: Helping FM find graphics files

At the book level, highlight all of the chapter files and press Enter (opens all files). Frame will ask to reconcile the first missing graphic and remember this as it opens the other chapters. At least this has worked for me with Frame 7.2, as long as all of the graphics are in the same folder.

Re: Helping FM find graphics files

Stab in the dark, as I'm not a Frame expert, but when I've encountered this, when Frame tells me the graphic is missing and opens a dialog box asking for me to indicate where the graphic is, if I find the first one, if the rest of them are in the same folder, it'll re-link the rest of them. I'm on

Lise's advice should work. Peter's advice to move the graphics folder to where FM's looking for it also should work. Of note, your LSP should not be altering your project like this in any way. Make sure they know not to do this again going forward, as it adds unnecessary additional work. You're

Re: Disappearing Palettes

I've had similar problems with FM10. Sometimes the problem is that objects are appearing behind other objects (usually a document window, sometimes another pod) instead of coming to the front. Try resizing the document window or moving it around to see if there are things hiding behind it.

Re: Ventura encoded text files

When I had to do this I used Maker Markup Language. I ran a few Emacs macros over the file and it converted easily. One of the things to watch out for is VP and FM use colons and semicolons in Index markers the opposite way, so when replacing strings you have to make an intermediary step of

Ok, so here's a thought--can you make a copy of your whole original set of files and graphic folders (untranslated), then delete the fm files in there, and copy and paste in the translated fm files? Would they then be looking for the graphics in the right place? -Lise On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at
