FM9 – Folders within books – associating a template with a folder

I'm trying to test some of the new features in FrameMaker 9, and I came across the following in the FM9 User Guide:
Folders You can use folders in a book to organize files and set numbering properties on a folder. You can include
multiple subfolders within a folder and associate templates with a folder. A folder, depending on where it appears in
the book hierarchy, works like a chapter, section, or subsection with subordinate components.
I'm intrigued about the idea of associating a template with a folder and I am trying to find out what the feature is for and how to use it. I've searched the rather woeful User Guide and found no other mention of this feature, except how to set the Template Path to a URL.
Can anybody enlighten me?
Thanks,
Jon

Jon,
There's a bit more info in these blogs:

I believe that it was designed for use with XML files, but I haven't explored this avenue either.

How do I import/drag a downloaded template with 2 folds, PSD and HTML into GoLive 7?

The index page looks fine in Preview but broken up in Layout. I have been back and forth with their T/S but it slow and unhelpful, plus the guy keeps saying everything looks fine on his Windoze machine. I have the latest iMac running Leopard.
I tried the IMPORT feature, and also tried replacing the folders/files that a created with a new site in GoLive, with the files that came with the template.
THANKS!

I just transferred files from my PC to my new Mac mini. I had many many folders of photos on my PC with each folder containing pictures from a certain time window or occasion. is there an easy way maintain this sorting of pictures in iPhoto/Aperature?

i am trying to make heads or tails of my pictures now after the import but there seems to be no organization left at all.
many pictures seem to also have lost (or never had) a date associated with them. so these photos seem to be placed randomly throughout the library.
i'm ready to take on the daunting task of organizing the pictures all over again, but just don't know where to start.
any tips would be appreciated. realize this is a pretty loaded question.
i also have Aperature on my computer as well using the same library of photos, if that would help manage my photos better.

View Menu -> Sort Photos is a good way to start.
Some organising possibilities in iPhoto:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues). And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

I have created a book in ibooks author with a custom font when previewing on the ipad the special characters within the font do not appear?

'custom' font sounds like you may be working with a font that is unsupported on iOS/iPad.
Supported fonts are found in the pull-down font menu in the toolbar. Authors are obligated (mostly) to stick to that list.

HT4539 deleting books associated with my account

how can i delete books associated with my account foronce and for all not hide them but delete them. Currently when i "edit" and "delete" they just are hidden. I want to delete them.

You can currently only hide them from your purchase history in the store, you can't currently permanently delete them : hiding and unhiding (though you don't currently appear to be able to things directly on an iPad with iOS 6).

Batch printing the grade book template with AppleScript.

I am using the grade book template with numbers. However, I might need to get some applescript help.
The default template has a Report page, and it includes one student. I can change the students name to change the values. This works brilliantly. However I have 300 pupils that I need to generate this report for. I want to have one of those reports for each student automatically generated and printable so that I can give them to the students at the end of the term.
Obviously, I don't want to generate each report myself. Applescript seems like the solution, but I don't know how to use it.
Can anyone lend a hand?

I think AppleScript probably is the best way to go here, but you probably ought to learn something about using it because it is often difficult to write and test a script on one system when it has to work on a different one. Yvan does a pretty good job of that, but my AppleScript skills are not that advanced.
My difficulties with your problem include:
I don't know what changes you might have made to the stock template in Numbers
I am using Snow Leopard, not Lion
I believe UI scripting is needed to duplicate a sheet, and I don't own the tools to determine how to select a sheet (if that is possible).
So, working with the unmodified template on my system, this is a script that I think does what you need (but it would probably have to be edited to suit your situation):
To run this script, UI scripting must be enabled. Numbers must be running with the Grade Book document open and the sheet "Reports" selected.
tell application "Numbers"
activate
          set theDoc to front document
          set sourceTable to table "Student Grades" of sheet "Student Data" of theDoc
          tell theDoc
                    repeat with i from 4 to ((row count of sourceTable) - 1)
                              set theName to value of cell i of column 1 of sourceTable
                              tell application "System Events"
                                        tell process "Numbers"
                                                  click menu item "Duplicate" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Edit" of menu bar 1
                                        end tell
                              end tell
                              set theName to value of cell i of column 1 of sourceTable
                              tell sheet (i - 2) of theDoc
                                        set its name to (theName & " Report")
                                        set value of cell 1 of row 3 of table "Student Lookup" to theName
                              end tell
                    end repeat
delete last sheet

i tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures. i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help
and on a second problem. I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

Dreamweaver Templates with Web Gallery

I have built a site in dreamweaver CS4 I have used a Dreamweaver Template for my pages. Rather than clog my pages up with images I used Adobe Bridge to create a web gallery, It created a gallery ok and I saved it to my hard drive. It created two items, a resourses folder and an "index" file. So I I copied and pasted the two items into my Dreamweaver folder I created and called SS_Bridge. I pointed a link I created to point to the "index" file within the SS_Bridge Folder in Dreamweaver, Will this create a problem as there will be two "Index" files within my site
jjrutter

The "home" page index file would be at the root level of the site. Other folders within the root can all have their own index (default) files.

How do you delete folders within collections in mini bridge?

How do you delete folders within collections in mini bridge?

his chapter on Mini Bridge where he talks about organizing your photos getting rid of some and making a folder or file sorry not certain of the terminology under Collections in mini bridge to acess your "keepers" perse.
Not familiar with this book but if Scott is talking about using mini bridge for sorting images he is way out of line. Mini Bridge (to my opinion next to useless since they screwed it up for CS6 but that is another discussion) should be seen as a shortcut to Bridge itself when working in Photoshop on complex tasks of image or album compilation and prevent you from switching back and forward between the two applications while working on a project.
Unfortunately some people thought that it might be useful to add more functions to it and now users start believing they don't need bridge itself for this.
Please use Bridge itself for sorting etc and also try to get hold of a copy of 'Real World Camera Raw' written by Bruce Fraser and Jeff Schewe. They have an edition for about all CS versions and this book will let you know how to really use the power of Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw

Thanks in advance, best regards

Great! Thanks for the quick response.
Have you tried this for XMLA datasources created within the EP system also?
i.e use Web Analyzer to create a view from the XMLA source and use that view within WAD?
Thanks.

HT201320 Does my email service provider have to provide the ability for me to create an IMAP email account in order for me to create Sub-folders within Apple Mail?

Hi, Apple Mail provides a function to create sub-folders within my mailbox so that I can group emails of similar subjects or from the same sender. My service provider only provides POP email protocol and the New Folder button does not appear in my Apple Mail account for that service provider. Icloud provides the opportunity for the iPad user to select between POP and IMAP. I can select IMAP and the New Folder button appears allowing me to create sub-folders within the icloud email account. Does this mean I cannot create sub-folders in my email account unless my service provider provides customers with the option of creating an IMAP email account?
This appears to be a problem for quite a few Apple Mail users, but service providers appear reticent to provide a response other than 'use Microsoft Exchange / Hotmail, Google GMail, or some other third party email service provider'. This is why I have chosen icloud as my email service provider. It is Apple and therefore Apple supports it. I have been a Telstra customer for over 15 years and they informed me today, strongly, that they support their own products and services, not Apple products, even though Telstra sell them. When I asked the Telstra Customer Support Manager whether they support Telstra customers, I was informed 'no, because the Telstra customer is not a Telstra product or service'. I have since cancelled my Telstra email account and am in the process of cancelling all of my Telstra services.

Yes. That is what it means. You need an IMAP account in order to create sub folders on the iPad.

Problem in templates with hyperlinks to bookmarks

Hi. I'm using Robohelp X5. I have a template with a hyperlink
in the footer, to link to the top of the page. The link works fine
in topics that are in the root HTML Files folder (in the Project
Manager tab) but it doesn't work in topics that are in sub-folders.
The hyperlink target is being prefixed with "../" to account for
the extra level. I have been asked not to use Javascript in the
help, so need to use html. Does anyone know of a way to prevent the
link being altered in the sub-level topics, or some other solution
to the problem?
I can't ask all the authors not to use folders to organise
their topics, as some of the projects are large and they also use
the folder structure when generating the TOC. I'd also rather not
have to advise them to create a different version of the template
for each folder in the topic structure, which is the only other way
round it I can think of. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi again Kat
Hmmm, quite a conundrum you have there, eh?
Well, there is one other possibility. Similar to the number
42, you probably won't like it much. But here goes anyway.
Assuming you are the person who has final say over the
project, meaning that you are the only one that generates and
distributes and the others are simply contributors, you could use
something like ReplacEm or FAR to perform a small post generation
process of performing a search and replace. You would search only
the folders for the desired string looking for ../# and eliminate
the ../ or possibly even ../../ or ../../../ depending on how many
folder levels you have.
Besides that, I'm about out of ideas.
Sincerely... Rick

In IE I used different levels of folders for my favourites. After importing I miss the bookmarks of folders within folders within folders etc.

In Internet Explorer it is possible to organize favourites with folders as in firefox. In these folders you can make new folders and within those new folders. Can this tree structure be used in Firefox? After importing most of my favourites are gone, I can find no folders within folders within folders etc. So most of my favourites are not imported from IE.

Thanks for the helpful thoughts LarryHN. I'm having a Mac guy look at my MacBook Pro in the next day or so to see what he can find out. I described the issue on the phone... and like you, he said that saving my documents to a thumb drive shouldn't affect my iPhoto library.
One reason I bought the thumb drive was to back up my iPhoto library, but the time I got to that, it was already gone. I've thought of getting Time Machine (and have checked out other systems), but the reviews are so mixed, I'm dragging my feet on coughing up the cash right now.
When I launch iPhoto, I only see the last few weeks' worth of photos. Oddly, photos I imported 3 weeks ago appear, but are in a folder dated November 2012--when I know I took those and imported them in January 2013. So that's weird...
When I got to iPhoto Library, I have an Auto Import folder with nothing in it. "My Pictures" folder has nothing as well. I did hold down the option key while opening up iPhoto, but only my recent library (a few weeks' worth of photos) appears. I'm using iPhoto 2011 (6.2.3). I can only hope my Mac guy can help...
