Re: [Framers] [WTF ramemaker] Big thumbs up for Rick Quatro's latest script

Exactly. Renames the source files and the links to the source files within Framemaker in one pass. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "... In my opinion, there's nothing in this world beats a '52 Vincent and a redheaded girl." -- Richard Thompson

Re: [Framers] Big thumbs up for Rick Quatro's latest script

I second the motion that this is an awesome script. Webworks totally barfs on spaces in file names and this made a HUGE difference to me when single sourcing FM to Webworks output and I had either inherited files or had gotten slopping in my own file naming. I have no financial stake in this

By "in the source file" you mean it also renames the referenced files? On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 10:36 AM, Art Campbell wrote: > OK, this may be semi-spam, but I just received a great FrameScript from Rick > Quatro and wanted to share. > > It rips through either a book or

On the other hand, any XP computer that has been regularly connecting to the Internet for the past four years is probably part of a botnet. On Tue, May 16, 2017 at 10:37 AM, Fred Ridder wrote: > It's not entirely correct that Microsoft stopped issuing security patches for >

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

It's not entirely correct that Microsoft stopped issuing security patches for Windows XP three years ago. That's when extended support officially ended, but there have been at least two critical security updates released since then -- one in the first year after the official end of support, and

[Framers] Big thumbs up for Rick Quatro's latest script

OK, this may be semi-spam, but I just received a great FrameScript from Rick Quatro and wanted to share. It rips through either a book or file and removes any spaces from files names, reference graphics, text insets, and other imported items.* Both in the Frame file and in the source file.* W

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

It should not have problems if you install it on a real XP computer, except that XP is highly insecure since Microsoft stopped issuing security updates three years ago. Windows XP mode works fine for me to run old software under 64-bit Windows 7. On Mon, May 15, 2017 at 6:53 PM, Dennis

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

I have same problem and here's the best fix I've found... 1. Go to the Task Manager 2. Click the Processes tab 3. Find DWM.exe, and end task on that file. (Might have to end task on it twice, but rarely.) FM recovers without having to close program. -Original Message-

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

To add to my initial "upgrade" I will say that the click/drag bug was there in some way in many versions. I would select a text frame, resize... crash. I'd hold the button down, say a prayer, hope for the best... crash. I found workarounds, but it just was a headache to do it every time. When it

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

When I first moved to Windows 7 I did not even manage to install Frame 7.2 with all of the patches. We used an XP emulator and it worked very well In addition, instead of dragging with a mouse, you can select text by clicking at the beginning and pressing shift and at the end (instead of

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

Older versions of FM sometimes seem unhappy running directly in a newer OS. Try VirtualBox from Oracle. It's free; you can set up a virtual XP environment under Win 7 or Win 10, install FM in that XP world, and away you go, often faster and without those quirks compared to running the

Re: [Framers] FrameMaker 7.2 Crashes

I blush to admit that I am still using FM 7. I used it professionally for a long time, and produced many technical and academic texts with it, despite the hassles of getting colleagues to deal with PDF commenting; but as a retired person I don't need and can't justify any upgrade. Anyway, the
