Re: plugin for tracking text insets
Hi Joseph, TOOLBOX (a collection of plug-ins) can help you: Book Transfer: If you start Book Transfer, it will create a list of all referenced insets and graphics with all information. In the next step you could transfer (copy) all referenced insets and graphics with chapters in a book to another place. Server Analysis: This plug-in could find duplicate files and many more in a matrix of all referenced information. Test TOOLBOX for 30 days, it's free: www.toolboxforme.com - GEorg --- Subject: Plugin for tracking text insets Hi all, I have a master book that contains all the other books in my doc set I am looking for a plugin to generate the following info: 1. identify all the text insets in every book. Generate a count of all the insets. 2. create a list of insets, for each inset identify which book and FM file the inset is in. Also provide the file path to the inset. 3. ability to screen out insets i don't want to see 4. ability to screen out duplicates. ie if "inset1" pops up in the book the multiple times, i might only want to see it first the time. 5. ability to do 1-4 with conditional build expressions (minus providing the file path.) 6. ability to do this with graphics. Is there a plugin out there that does this? I am not interested in framescript though. I just want to take a file, drop it into my plugin folder, and start using it. Basically, I am looking for some robust reporting capabilities that gives me an idea about what state my documentation is in.

Re: plugin for tracking text insets
Classification: SERCO-PUBLIC You can produce a basic list of insets by adding a List of References and adding Text Insets to it. This gives you a basic list giving: Inset filename . . . . . . .Container filename . . . . . . . . . . page number. Not everything you want, but better than zilch.

Re: plugin for tracking text insets
Hi Joseph... I'm not aware of any plugins that will do what you're looking for. There are a handful of FrameScripts listed in my Tool Search database that do some of this .. http://leximation.com/toolsearch/?kwds=inset If you want an FDK plugin, I'd be happy to make one that does exactly what you need. Feel free to contact me off list and I can give you an estimate.

RE: plugin for tracking text insets
Hi Joseph, I don't know of a plugin that does this. I am surprised that you are not interested in FrameScript. A FrameScript solution may be the best opportunity for you to get the exact functionality that you want. For example, I have written scripts that write FrameMaker data to Excel spreadsheets for reports, etc. See http://frameautomation.com/2010/09/30/autonumber-problems/ If you can clarify what you mean by step 5, I will be glad to give you a quote for a script. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

RE: plugin for tracking text insets
Joseph, I know that you said that you're not looking for FMscript, but I can tell you from personal experience, that I could find no plugin to do all that you are asking, but Rick Quatro (www.frameexpert.com) wrote me some beautiful scripts that do exactly what you're asking. I have been using for years now and they are a lifesaver. I can provide a list of their names if you want to ping Rick about them.
