RE: Cannot find the file named...
Thanks, Heiko, but I don't understand how the OS or network gets fingered when ALL other applications that I use work normally. Even Adobe applications. If Frame is too impatient, that's a BUG, not a 'problem' with the ever-so-slow network. I was hoping to learn about some kind of INI file setting (make it more patient, perhaps?) or known conflicts with other applications, which can bork up the automatic application launching. If the gods are good, I won't be using FM any more in a quarter or two, so I'll just bull along with the broken beast until then. I don't have the bandwidth to rebuild my work machine to try to blindly ferret out some conflict or screwed up FM DLL or whatever Thanks anyway; David Original Message From: Heiko Haida i...@heiko-haida.de Date: Tue, February 26, 2013 2:06 pm Hello David, lately I have a similar problem: double-clicking takes vey long to start the application and to open the file, whereas the normal Open dialog from within the application works as usual. This is not always the case, but if, then it happens with any application, also MS Word, Excel and so on. Here it helped to uncheck the DDE option for those file-types (which is not possible for Frame-files), but today I saw that the option is checked again mysteriously. So my guess about this would be that its rather a problem with the OS or with the network, not necessarily with FrameMaker. FM seems to expect a quick answer from the OS and handles the delay as file error (my interpretation, only a guess). I am using Windows XP here, by the way. If someone has an explanation to this problem, I would also be very glad. Best regards Tino H. Haida, Berlin ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: Cannot find the file named...
Yes, I get the error with FM and BOOK files (but I won't work FMs without opening them from a BOOK, so...). No, I don't get the error with local FM or BOOK files. I see no changes in behavior based on time, though I haven't tried to completely error-trap (i.e., once I have the BOOK open, I get to work and generally don't close it until end of day). ...So it would seem that it's FrameMaker's fault, still; but it is only related to network drives. I'm wondering, now, if it has to do with the path name(s) containing a space or an exclamation mark (!). Or if it somehow has to do with the difference between the share name and the mapped drive name. Anyway, thanks for the follow-up... but FrameMaker is still the only product (even the only Adobe product) doing this to me; everything else I use day-to-day functions just like it has in networked Windows environments since, oh, 1997...? Maybe I should roll back to v5.5? ;) David Original Message From: Reng, Dr. Winfried wr...@tycoint.com Date: Tue, February 26, 2013 2:26 am Hi David, When you mention that the files are o a network, did you also test when the files are on your local hard drive? What happens when you double-click on regular FrameMaker files (not books)? Do you get the error message as well? Does your boot process take longer and you get differing results when you try to open directly after restarting Windows and half an hour later? Best regards Winfried -Original Message- Sent: Monday, February 25, 2013 7:41 PM Update: Ad, when I resumed work after lunch (no reboot) it worked to double-click the BOOK file to open it. Suspicious, I rebooted my system... and it doesn't work again (same sequence as in previous email, below). It's off a network file share, but that shouldn't be the problem because (a) I open a folder on the share to find the BOOK file to double click it without a problem, and (b) I've worked the exact same way for over a year, on the same network, share, and files without a hiccup. I got NO clue what to do David Original Message From: David Artman da...@davidartman.com Date: Mon, February 25, 2013 10:33 am Hi, all; Latest, out-of-the-blue functional bug on FM8.0p277, Win 7: 1) Navigate to working folder for project [just like every day]. 2) Double-click BOOK file. FrameMaker opens, them immediately displays the following message: Cannot find the file named __. Make sure that the file exists. 3) Click OK on that message. 4) On the FrameMaker menu, click File 1 [file_name]. FrameMaker immediately displays the same error message as in step 2, then FrameMaker displays the Open dialog, at the project folder root (i.e., last folder to which I wrote files). 5) Double-click the BOOK file in the Open dialog. The BOOK file opens in FrameMaker. Same behavior if I try to do the above with a standalone FM file. I have, over the course of days, installed software that does various things to interface with the hardware that I am documenting, so it's possible something went pear-shaped with Windows. I'm *inclined* to blame FM because (a) Windows knows the BOOK should open Frame, and sends it to Frame, and only THEN does Frame claim not to find it; and (b) it's FrameMaker 8. By Adobe. So, yeah Any ideas what I could do to repair whatever's gone wrong? I'm comfy manipulating INI file and the Windows Registry. But I can't reinstall FM8, though I *have* rolled back and reapplied all patches (p266 is 155 MB, so I imagine it's pretty thoroughly updating everything). This problem persists through daily reboots. Thanks in advance; David ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.
