Re: Confluence 4 export: the one feature that would justify my upgrading from FM10
There was a Confluence plugin that would import a ditamap into Confluence 3.5. I believe it was called Dita2Confluence and was developed by Lisa Dyer. It worked pretty well once you got the environment variables sorted out. But it was only one-way, so you couldn't use it to update your XML files. Then Confluence moved from wiki markup in v.3 to XHTML in v.4, rendering the import utility obsolete. As far as I know there has been no development of it since then. Indeed, in moving to v.4 Confluence broke a number of other things, including most if not all of our user macros. We are still using 3.5.

Re: Confluence 4 export: the one feature that would justify my upgrading from FM10
Confluence 4's Import from Disk feature uses the undocumented XML format created by the Export to XML feature. I experimented with using Webworks ePublisher Designer to convert from FrameMaker to Confluence 4. It looks fine, but when you edit a page the code is an uneditable mess of macros and whatnot due to Webworks using Confluence 3.x wiki markup rather than Confluence 4 XHTML. It would be fine for read-only publishing. ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

Replaced images not saved to XML?
Hello All FrameMaker 11, DITA, with DITA-FMx installed. I wonder if anyone else has seen this anomaly which has bitten us a few times. If you replace an image using File Import File option, FrameMaker does not replace the image location in the XML. The scenario goes like this: 1. Create a concept topic. 2. Add a fig element and a nested image element (inside a p). Choose image1.png and shrinkwrap the frame. 3. Save the file. 4. Inspect the XML. The XML reads: figtitleMy image Placeholder/title pimage href=image1.png height=144 width=191 align=center placement=inline //p/fig 5. Close the file and reopen it. 6. Select the image inside the anchored frame, and delete it. 7. Select the anchored frame and do File Import File. Select image2.png and shrinkwrap the frame. 8. Save the file. 9. Inspect the XML. The XML reads: figtitleMy image Placeholder/title pimage href=image1.png height=249 width=213 align=center placement=inline //p/fig The new image location is not replaced in the XML, but the dimensions are replaced. Result: a. You have the wrong image in your file. b. This wrong image is distorted to fit the original image dimensions (insult added to injury!). Can anyone confirm this before I send a bug report to Adobe? Roger Shuttleworth London, Canada ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: Replaced images not saved to XML?
Hi Roger I have just tested this. Indeed, when you import a new image into an existing anchored frame, the href attribute is not updated to the new image path and name, in your example image2.png. However, I don't think this is a bug because you are using a FrameMaker feature (File Import File instead of an XML function (insert image). So, the simple workaround would be to delete the image element and then insert a new one. My images are not distorted because I'm not using the width and height attributes, but @otherprops=fmdpi instead.

Re: Replaced images not saved to XML?
While I appreciate Yves' rationalization about why this isn't a bug .. it sure sounds like one to me. :-) I'll bet that this works fine in FM8 but with the UI change in FM9 the dialog never gets dismissed any more and that may have been what keyed FMx to update the href (and height/width). I'll have to do some testing, but will likely find that this should work as Roger expects. Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving! ...scott Sent from my phone. Please excuse any typos or unexpected brevity.
