Use XtraBookUtils:

This creates a list of all graphics in the book, you can edit the paths in that 
list and then the plugin will convert the paths.

Could you save all the chapters in the book as MIF and do a couple of search 
and replace runs? Once to correct ImportObFileDI and once to correct  
ImportObFile.

I used to have a TextPipe script that automated this for me, although in my 
case I was trying to solve the problem of relative pathnames that had become 
absolute.

If that's as clear a concrete, let me know and I'll provide actual help.

FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley

[rebecca officer]

Yes, you should only have to do the remapping once per chapter even if the 
graphics files are on a different drive ... if all the graphics are in a single 
folder. If they aren't, you have to do it once per chapter per folder. If 
you've got lots of graphics folders, that's a right pain. If possible, I'd move 
all the graphics into one folder.

If your graphics' source folder changes multiple times in a file, FM will try 
to get you to pick the source folder for each graphic in turn. It's quicker to 
point the first missing graphic to the correct location (say folder1), then 
skip the rest of the missing graphics. FM will fix all references to folder1. 
Then save the file, close it, reopen it, and repeat for folder2 etc.

Cheers
Rebecca

I recall that when I've had Frame files (that had been moved) looking for 
graphics in a certain directory and couldn't find them, if I pointed the first 
one to the correct directory, it found the rest in that same directory.
Now, caveats being that in my case, the frame files and the graphics files are 
both on sub-directories of the same network drive name, and all the graphics 
files are in one folder, so I don't know if this works if it has to navigate to 
the "root" of a different drive, as Fred references below.

FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley

[Rob Shell]

Dear Framers:
I wonder if anyone out there has experienced this.
I upgraded windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.
To do this I had to do a clean reinstall on the C: drive which meant
reinstalling every single bit of software including TC4. No drives were
reassigned or re-named.
Everything went well -- and three days later --  I had my new 64 bit machine
with 8 gigs of Ram.  All this was done to facilitate one big 10,000 page
annual pdf project.
Finally I opened the book of books.
Everything opened well but every single graphic (all referenced, all under
250kb) was now referenced to the H: where the FM texts reside.
However, all the graphics files really reside on the G: drive.
So now I have 1,000 graphics files which are mis-referenced.

My questions are
How can I restore the proper drive letter in object properties?
How did this happen?
Has anybody experienced this?
Is there anything else I can do
Perhaps if I copy the G: directories to H: the problems will go away.
Any ideas?

I thought he might be able to rename the current H drive to something 
else, and then rename the G drive to H. But mabye something on the

FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley

I don't think this will work because Rob already has an H: drive, which is 
where his FM files are. You can't assign two drives (or two partitions) to the 
same letter.

I think his only option is moving the directories to the drive letter that 
FrameMaker is expecting to use. But I'm not sure because I have *never* kept 
files for any FrameMaker project in more than one partition because I know that 
this practice forces FrameMaker to use absolute paths to the referenced files 
rather than relative paths. As much as possible (and it's not always possible 
when using any files that are shared among multiple documents) I have always 
kept all files for any given document in subdirectories within the same branch 
of my directory structure.

FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley

[Lise Bible]

I recall that when I've had Frame files (that had been moved) looking for
graphics in a certain directory and couldn't find them, if I pointed the
first one to the correct directory, it found the rest in that same
directory.
Now, caveats being that in my case, the frame files and the graphics files
are both on sub-directories of the same network drive name, and all the
graphics files are in one folder, so I don't know if this works if it has
to navigate to the "root" of a different drive, as Fred references below.

I thought he might be able to rename the current H drive to something 
else, and then rename the G drive to H. But mabye something on the 
system cares whether the Frame files are on H -- I'm not sure.
