importing text-insets

[Michael Weyrauch]

Hello

I have several text-insets imported into the main document as reference. But FM 
inserts them with an absolute path. Therefore one, who wants to continue 
working on the same document but in a different working environment, has to 
re-import all text-insets. Has one of you an idea how this can be avoided?

Cheers
Michael

FM treats paths as relative _unless_ they traverse the root directory of
a drive. 

So, this results in absolute paths because the relative path between
them traverses \: 

\foo\insetsource.fm
\bar\insetdestination.fm 

This does not because the relative path between them traverses
commondir: 

\commondir\foo\insetsource.fm
\commondir\bar\insetdestination.fm 

HTH!

 This isn't drag and drop, but you could use the shortcut keys for
 importing files - ESC f-i-f. It's faster than going to the menu,
 anyway.  

If you want to do it faster, map the Import File command to F10, or
something. 1 keystroke instead of 4. 

Add this line to fminit\configui\customui.cfg:
Modify ImportFile KeySequence /F10

Or maybe you could do the import in MIF. Find out what the entry for a
text inset looks like, create copies of this entry and edit the path and
filename in the copies.

 Is there a way import text insets by dragging and dropping them
 into an open Frame document?  It's irritating to have to jump
 through the menu hoops when you have a large number of files to
 import.

Not that I'm aware of. If there was, it WOULD save me loads of time.
FM has never been up to speed in drag and drop capabilities.
