I solve the dilemma you're facing using what I call a template-based workflow.Realistically, the formats of your docs don't have to be updated until the next time you edit or output content.When you begin a revision cycle on a book, import formats across all child Frame docs. (it's easy to do this
Had this same problem a few years ago; as I recall there were two options.
First was to create books that were containers for the content files in all
the folders, and do the apply format.
The second was to ping Rick Quatro (I'm 90% sure it was Rick, but it could
have been another script wizard)
I'd just make a single-use BOOK file, drag them all in, and apply across the book.Get coffee.Then destroy the (now-pointless) book.Writing a FrameScript would take long, I imagine, but YMMVDavid

Subject: batch import formats

I did a similar project involving a few hundred .fm files in 20-30
books by creating a book, searching for .fm files across all the
directories, dragging and dropping all the files into the book,
selecting all the files in the book window, and importing formats.
