Re: FrameMaker 10 deleted a file from my hard drive
Linda, Are you using Dropbox? I had a few instances of FM files disappearing a year or so ago that I finally put down to working live in my local Dropbox on a slow internet connection. This is theonly bug I have ever encountered in this wonderful tool (Db), and I now always make sure that Db synching has completed before closing FM files. jjj On 26/10/2014 3:00 AM, framers-requ...@lists.frameusers.com wrote: Message: 13 Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 18:12:00 -0600 From: Linda Gallagherlin...@techcomplus.com To: 'Post Framers'framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: FrameMaker 10 deleted a file from my hard drive Message-ID: 725B715B9D1E41529609B5CB4ADEB178@LGDellDsktp710 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii FM 10 Win 7 All, I was just working in a book that I created about a month ago.

Re: FrameMaker 10 deleted a file from my hard drive
We had that happen using FM 10 also. The best I could figure out from information I gleaned from Microsoft and Adobe, it was a peculiar reaction between the OS and FM. Never had the problem after we went to 11 or 12.
