Re: Helping FM find graphics files

I agree. That is one of the first things we make sure all of our prep team members know when teaching them how to process FM projects. It's no big deal when the links are all in one folder and no sub folders, but most times our client's FM projects have links in multiple sub folders. Jaime O

In that case, the translation agency screwed up. They should fix the incorrect paths at no additional cost to your company. On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 1:56 PM, Menahem Rosen wrote: > They got the whole file structure to begin with. What I need to get back are > only the translated fm files.

Re: Helping FM find graphics files

> Didn't the translation vendor localize the graphics? That's a whole different issue. If screen shots, they'd need to be retaken in an already localized UI. If illustrations, you'd be working with unflattened files and not what you're consuming in FM (unless you're using unflattened vector graphi

Re: Helping FM find graphics files

That's an odd approach. You should be getting whatever you send them back, so issues like this don't arise. I work for an LSP (not in a translation capacity though), and we always recommend full project round-tripping. FM, like many other tools, has many moving parts under the skin, even in the .fm

Re: Helping FM find graphics files

Ok, so here's a thought--can you make a copy of your whole original set of files and graphic folders (untranslated), then delete the fm files in there, and copy and paste in the translated fm files? Would they then be looking for the graphics in the right place? -Lise On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 3:5

Sounds like Rick's $95 solution is the way you should go, if it's going to be that much effort. Definitely have a talk with your translation vendor if it's caused this much rework. On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 3:24 PM, Menahem Rosen wrote: > Ah, I neglected to mention that the graphics are organized

Re: Helping FM find graphics files

Lise's advice should work. Peter's advice to move the graphics folder to where FM's looking for it also should work. Of note, your LSP should not be altering your project like this in any way. Make sure they know not to do this again going forward, as it adds unnecessary additional work. You're pa

Re: Helping FM find graphics files

Stab in the dark, as I'm not a Frame expert, but when I've encountered this, when Frame tells me the graphic is missing and opens a dialog box asking for me to indicate where the graphic is, if I find the first one, if the rest of them are in the same folder, it'll re-link the rest of them. I'm on

Re: Helping FM find graphics files

At the book level, highlight all of the chapter files and press Enter (opens all files). Frame will ask to reconcile the first "missing" graphic and remember this as it opens the other chapters. At least this has worked for me with Frame 7.2, as long as all of the graphics are in the same folder

RE: Helping FM find graphics files

Wouldn't it be easier to move the graphics folder? In any case, all you need to do is find the first graphic and make sure "use new path for all graphics" (may not be exact wording) is selected. Peter From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com]
