Modifying Image Paths

[Mike Wickham]

It's been a while since I installed it myself, but I see a File> 
Utilities> Archive menu item in my FrameMaker installation. Looking at 
the instructions for the script, it looks like you can place the 
original script anywhere you want. Then use File> Script> Run to execute 
it once, and the script creates the previously mentioned Archive menu 
item. From then on, just use File> Utilities> Archive to make your archive.

That location only works automatically for DLLs. 

What you are missing is the instruction to use File >Script > Run to execute

RE: Modifying Image Paths

[Harro de Jong]

Judy Bragg


 My company is soon to begin working with translation software.
 Until now, my images have been filed in a chapter subfolder. Since our images 
 will
 not be localized, I'm moving the images to a location where they can be 
 accessed
 by each language by the same path. That way, I add/change an image once and
 everything updates.
 
 The downside...I have to update the paths for all of the images in my current 
 English
 documentation.  Redefining the path for each image (or every few images) as 
 the
 interface asks for it is proving very time-consuming and tedious.

You can use the XtraBookUtils plugin for this.

 http://www.bache.name/sgml.html

According to this page, the plugin is for Frame 5-7, but I've got it working in 
Frame 9. 

This will create a list of all the image file paths in a book, you can edit the 
list to reflect the new paths, then the plugin will change the paths. 

tip: you can use Find/Replace to replace all the paths. 
1. select the second column in the table (column heading 'new reference'), and 
set  Find/Replace to Look in: Selection
2. when replacing a file path, you have to specify it as 
directory//directory2//file.tif   (the / is a control character in this dialog)

Modifying Image Paths

[Judy Bragg]

This message was originally HTML formatted.  View in a HTML capable client to 
see the original version.\r\n\r\nMy company is soon to begin working with 
translation software.
Until now, my images have been filed in a chapter subfolder. Since ourimages 
will not be localized, I'm moving the images to a location wherethey can be 
accessed by each language by the same path. That way, Iadd/change an image once 
and everything updates.

The downside...I have to update the paths for all of the images in mycurrent 
English documentation.  Redefining the path for each image (orevery few images) 
as the interface asks for it is proving verytime-consuming and tedious.

I'm using TCS4 (FM11) on a Win7 PC. My documents typically have textinsets, 
images by reference, cross-references and index markers.

This morning, I thought I'd investigate whether the Insets pod would be of any 
help.  I've never used it for anything before
 and, curiously, when I opened it today there's nothing in it. (Not eventhe 
toolbar pictured in the Help files.) The same thing happens withthe Reference 
pod.  The markers pod is populated.

Trying to get anything in the Insets and Reference pods, I've triedselecting a 
single inset, the full document content, the full bookcontent...nothing!

If anyone has suggestions to speed things along, using pods or by some other 
method, I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks!

Re: Modifying Image Paths

You could test this to see if it works before you actually do it on your 
production copies...

Open the FM file as a MIF.

Do a find and replace on the file path name.

Resave as an FM file.

It's been a long time since I looked at MIFs and what they can do, but that 
approach might be an option.

I've used the search and replace path in a MIF file method when my image
links have come back broken from a translation round and I need to get the
files out ASAP (ie, rather than return them to the translators to be fixed).

 

It works just fine. Just be sure to make copies of everything before you do
the search and replace.

 

Also, you might do a few updates through Frame first so you know exactly
what path to use as the replacement.

images by reference, cross-references and index markers.

This morning, I thought I'd investigate whether the Insets pod would be of any 
help.  I've never used it for anything before
 and, curiously, when I opened it today there's nothing in it. (Not eventhe 
toolbar pictured in the Help files.) The same thing happens withthe Reference 
pod.  The markers pod is populated.

Trying to get anything in the Insets and Reference pods, I've triedselecting a 
single inset, the full document content, the full bookcontent...nothing!

If anyone has suggestions to speed things along, using pods or by some other 
method, I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks!

Modifying Image Paths

[N M]

You could test this to see if it works before you actually do it on your 
production copies...

Open the FM file as a MIF.

Do a find and replace on the file path name.

Resave as an FM file.

It's been a long time since I looked at MIFs and what they can do, but that 
approach might be an option.

My company is soon to begin working with translation software.

Until now, my images have been filed in a chapter subfolder. Since our
images will not be localized, I'm moving the images to a location where
they can be accessed by each language by the same path. That way, I
add/change an image once and everything updates.



The downside...I have to update the paths for all of the images in my
current English documentation.? Redefining the path for each image (or
every few images) as the interface asks for it is proving very
time-consuming and tedious.



I'm using TCS4 (FM11) on a Win7 PC. My documents typically have text
insets, images by reference, cross-references and index markers.

This may help; it's similar to Bruce Foster's "Archive" plug-in:

Modifying Image Paths

[Mike Wickham]

You can use the free Archive or Book Packager script to do this. It 
moves all graphics to a single directory. You can find it here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/07/create-a-book-packager-using-extendscript.html
Be sure to get v2, at the "script attached" link. The "original script 
can be found here" link, as I recall, linked to a version that had a bug 
in it.

Modifying Image Paths

[Alison Craig]

I've used the "search and replace path in a MIF file" method when my image 
links have come back broken from a translation round and I need to get the 
files out ASAP (ie, rather than return them to the translators to be fixed).

It works just fine. Just be sure to make copies of everything before you do the 
search and replace.

Also, you might do a few updates through Frame first so you know exactly what 
path to use as the replacement.
