Unresolved text insets and relinking images

[Natalie Bircher]

I need to move frame files and get unresolved text insets after I regenerate
and end up having to re-link them all. Is there a way to keep these linked,
or am I stuck importing them again?

Also, we moved our library of images (don't ask why!) and now I have to
re-link all the images. Any suggestions to make this less tedious and  keep
me from getting carpal tunnel? 

 

I have two issues that have resulted because of having to move Frame files.
The first one is that I have to re-link all the images because it was
decided to move the image catalog to another server. Is there an easier
way to do this? The second issue is that I get unresolved text insets for
the canned warnings we use. I have to re-import these too. This is
extremely tedious and hard on the mousing wrist! Any suggestions?

If you have to move FM files around, always try to use Bruce foster's
Archive plugin to collect all components that a book or file requires.

Otherwise, always try to set up the directory structure so that the
files are in the same relative paths before and after...

Re: Unresolved text insets and relinking images

You should be able to save your files as a .mif file, and do a search and 
replace for the paths, too. 

Look for something like:

ImportObFileDI `u\u\c\directoryc\ImageFile'
ImportObFile `../../directory/ImageFile'

Where Directory is the folder your image is in, and ImageFile the name of the 
image file. (the number of u\ etc. will vary depending on your relative 
paths).

If you fix one image, then save as .mif, you can compare the fixed image path 
to the old paths, and play with search and replace.

It's still pretty manual, but less carpel tunnel. I'm sure you can find 
something similar for text insets. (I don't have any right now to check)

NOTE: I haven't tried this particular tip for a while, so I may have forgotten 
a step or two.

HTH,

Zoë

Framescript! I had to relink several hundred text insets once and it was
either a tedious one by one manual process, or use the best $200 ever
and buy Framescript and get Rick Quatro to write a script that did this
relinking with like two clicks. It was a dream.
