Is there a way to convert all embedded pictures to be references?
Hi all, I have some chapters that have a lot of embedded pictures. I still have the picture sources (e.g., PNG, JPG) in a particular directory. Is there a way, in one fell swoop, to convert all the pictures from being embedded to being references? Doesn't seem there is a way, since I notice that an embedded picture loses its original filename (and path). tnx avi

Avraham, Without exporting the graphics, which you can do by saving the Frame file as a Word file, I believe you are out of luck. Since you have the original graphics your best bet is to delete and re-import by reference. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Avraham Makeler Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 7:01 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Is there a way to convert all embedded pictures to be references?

Re: Is there a way to convert all embedded pictures to be references?
Is there a way, in one fell swoop, to convert all the pictures from being embedded to being references? You can use the Systec Export Copied Graphics module (49 euros), part of the Toolbox plugins. Available here: https://www.systec-gmbh.com/os/index.php?cat=c176_TOOLBOX.htmlXTCsid=afec57784912ef717a8b43a91b8993b9 It converts all copied graphics into referenced graphics, but assigns the exported graphics its own file names. The original filenames are not retained. Mike Wickham ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com. Send list messages to fram...@lists.frameusers.com.

No, but the Demo version of Mif2Go (free) will export them all in their original formats, losslessly. See the User's Guide, par. 2.5.3, Replacing embedded graphics with referenced graphics for a step-by-step procedure for this. Doesn't seem there is a way, since I notice that an embedded picture loses its original filename (and path). Correct, so we give them new names on export. You can rename them as you wish in Explorer as part of the process above. The free demo version is available at: http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm If you really do have all the original sources, though, there's no need to export. Just do the last step: 6. For each embedded graphic in each FrameMaker file in your document: 6.1. Select the image itself (not the frame it is in). 6.2. Use File Import File to replace the embedded image with the corresponding graphics file, imported by reference. HTH! -- Jeremy H.
