Importing FM content to Flare - Changing image import location
Hi Jon, I see that I can filter the view, so it makes it easier to select the graphics in order to move them to the Images folder. However, the problem remains that apparently, Flare by design, is importing the graphics together with the HTM output files into the same directory (even its Help admits that "it's messy" (LOL) so perhaps this is something that Madcap will fix in a future release (I'm working in v4.2). I would like to be able to choose the location for importing the graphics. Thanks very much!

Importing FM content to Flare - Changing image import location
I work for MadCap It's a good feature request. I'll send it on. Make sure you submit it too, using the Feature request on the Start page in Flare. You can move the graphics after the import. If you need help, send me an email and I'll walk you thru it. sharon Sharon Burton 951-369-8590 -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com]On Behalf Of David Schor Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 4:16 AM To: Jon Harvey Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Importing FM content to Flare - Changing image import location Hi Jon, I see that I can filter the view, so it makes it easier to select the graphics in order to move them to the Images folder.

RE: Importing FM content to Flare - Changing image import location
Hi David, There is a filter at the top of the file list in Flare that enables you to list only the files in which you are interested. Enter *.htm into the text box and you should be fine.
