To give due credit, the source code for ShrinkWrapAsIs (at least version 1.00) 
says it was created by Mike Hardy ... back in 2001.

Re: [Framers] Pod Font Size

[Austin Meredith]

   Oran Petersen's discovery, that it is right-clicking on the Framemaker
   master file in Programs(x86) > Adobe that reveals the Compatibility
   tab, rather than right-clicking on the shortcut, has finally enabled us
   to *locate* the elusive "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"
   checkbox!
   However, what we now find is that checking and unchecking this checkbox
   does nothing whatever to enlarge the too-tiny font size of Frame pods.
   I still must put on my 3-diopter pair of reading glasses, and must
   bring my eyes right up next to the display screen (like two or three
   inches from the monitor), in order to make out the tiny letters. (The
   letters are just as *crisp* whether the checkbox is checked or empty,
   but they are also just as *tiny*.) It turns out, this is not a
   solution.

   The only solution that has worked for me, so far, is to have one
   monitor set to 3840x2160 native resolution, for the work file itself,
   and the other monitor degraded to 2560x1600, for displaying only the
   pods.

Re: [Framers] Shrinkwrapping

[Michael Heine]

ShrinkwrapAsIs was created by an anonymous contributor, and published by 
Carla Martinek at http://www.martinek.us/shrinkwrap.html (now 404); 
compatibility was tested to Frame v. 7.2. I have never used it myself. 
Here's the info text from the web page:

>>>
ShrinkwrapAsIs DLL
A known bug (feature?) in FrameMaker is that if you use the Esc-m-p 
Shrinkwrap command, it changes the anchor of the graphic from whatever 
it was to "At Insertion Point."
A smart Frame user wrote a small FDK plugin that preserves the settings 
for an anchored frame when shrink wrapping.
I am making the ShrinkwrapAsIs dll available as a download for everyone 
who requested it, with the following caveats:
*  No compatibility or suitability or functionality is 
guaranteed with any version of Frame on any platform. While this DLL was 
written for FM 6.0, various users have tested with 7.0, 7.1, & 7.2 
successfully. Your success may vary. I just know it works on my machine, 
and has worked in both FM6 and FM7.1, on Win2K and WinXP
*  Ensure the document you are testing has been saved at least 
once (not a new document); otherwise it may not work
*  I have noticed on my machine that I sometimes get a ghost 
image of the graphic being anchored. A screen refresh (Ctrl-L or 
PgUp/Dn) will take care of this.
*  The author of this DLL (who prefers to remain anonymous 
because he doesn't want people emailing him for support issues) has 
authorized this file to be posted for download. You may freely 
distribute this file or URL to other FrameMaker users.

 <<<

If anybody wants this, I can forward it - I don't think that's a no-no?
Cheers,
Mike

IIRC, there was a script in the long-ago days that would trim the
excess.
Maybe someone remembers it and can point to it.

Re: [Framers] Shrinkwrapping

[russ]

My WS Utilities plugin provides a customizable shrinkwrap command that
replaces the native function. You can set whatever margins you want,
including zero. The plugin also does a bunch of other stuff. The full
plugin functionalilty is not free, but the shrinkwrap command is.

Re: [Framers] Re Screen Capture tools ...

[Shmuel]

They way I insert screen captures is to set my screen capture program to
automatically save each file to specific location, move the file to a
subfolder of where the docs are, right click on the file and select Copy
Path to Clipboard,  insert the file using ALT+f,i,f and paste the path to
the file. I find this to be relatively fast.

Copy Path to Clipboard is a free utility that you can find with a google
search. (Actually there are several.) I find the Copy Path to Clipboard
utility saves me a lot of time.
