Sounds like a terrific method.  Having just lost an incremental save this could 
be a secure method for preventing it from happening again.
Will you be kind enough to post it?  What is your site address?

Re: Batch saving files in FrameMaker 11

2012-09-23 Thread Joseph Lorenzini 
Hi Salome,

You can easily do this with an ExtendScript. I am a novice scripter and I
was able to create a script that batch saved files to MIF in FM 10 with
about half an hour of work.

If you don't know how to do simple scripts and you don't have time to
learn, I am sure you could purchase the services of someone to create a
script for you. I doubt it would be more than 100 dollars.

Re: Batch saving files in FrameMaker 11

2012-09-23 Thread Chris Despopoulos 
Ok, so after three responses I posted this plugin.  My site is cudspan.net.  
From there, go to Business  CudSpan Plug-ins, and hit the Freeware tab.  Then 
look at 11.0 Plug-ins.  Also note, I posted a Java tool that changes filename 
extensions.  (It should be self-explanatory.)  It can be helpful if you're 
trying to recover a full book of MIFs, or if you're trying to migrate to an 
earlier version of Maker.

As usual, I take no responsibility for any use of these tools, be it for good 
or evil.  As in, don't blame me if you loose data...  Back up your work!

Cheers cud
