Re: [Framers] FM's Project window (Klaus Daube)
I have tried using the FrameMaker Project feature on several projects. But my experience was every time, that it was of little use. * First of all - one cannot undo (Ctrl Z). * There are no options to display images with thumbnails or text files with previews. * All url's are getting truncated, making it impossible figure out where things are, unless you use "Explore". And if you do, you are better off with Windows explorer. * There are no actual "project" features, like stages, notes, collections etc. * There are no options for working with metadata for the project. ___ This message is from the Framers mailing list Send messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com Visit the list's homepage at http://www.frameusers.com Archives located at http://www.mail-archive.com/framers%40lists.frameusers.com/ Subscribe and unsubscribe at http://lists.frameusers.com/listinfo.cgi/framers-frameusers.com Send administrative questions to listad...@frameusers.com
Re: [Framers] FM's Project window
I haven't even used the Folder or Group functions. I'm not sure what situations would call for them, either, although there must be something.
