Dear Framers: following my mournful complaint of finding all my referenced graphics on an incorrect drive following a clean install of windows 64, I am happy to report that thanks to a really brilliant plugin by Harro de Jong, anybody can restore their original drive letters in a snap. The plugin is flawless and scours the files--even finds referenced graphics on the reference pages. The plug in works by creating a two column table with the original referenced path name and file name on the left and a duplicate on the right column all in a regular Framemaker document. The right hand column can be edited in any way you like, e.g. find and replace H:\ with G:\. This little honey badger of a utility just chewed its way through nearly 11,000 incorrectly referenced graphics!
I am sure the plugin has many other uses, for my part I found a few misplaced .tifs. [replace with jpg]. Thanks too to other Framers, Rebecca Officer & al who taught me about graphics on different drives. The interesting thing was the reference graphics which survived were on the same drive as the root directory of C: Since I cannot fit my graphics on D and E, I will continue to use my old system. And hope I do not have to do another install for some time. Rob Shell wrote: > My questions are > How can I restore the proper drive letter in object properties? Use XtraBookUtils: < http://www.bache.name/sgml.html> 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.
