FrameMaker 8 (Unstructured) - How to Find/Change "Referenced File" location globally?
Hello,
First off, I have a FrameMaker 8 (Unstructured) book that links ALL of its graphics, to a separate graphics folder on my network drive.
With that said, I am hoping to do the following:
1. Create a mirror copy of "Book A" and place that copy in another folder, (at the same level) on my network drive.
2. Open up the new book file (e.g. Book B).
3. Run a Find/Change to replace:
..\..\..\Graphics Catalog A\Graphics\a000123.png
..\..\..\Graphics Catalog B\Graphics\b000123.png
The end result is that I could globally map out all the "Referenced Files" to the new folder path structure. This will allow me to save from having to manually re-import each of the 1000 graphics - into my book files.
Finally, I am hoping to do this with the built in capabilities of FrameMaker 8 first. If that is not possible, then I will consider other possibilities.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Regards,
Jim
This is how you do it:
Outside of FM, copy the "Book A" folder and paste it where you want.
Also, create the Graphics folder and file structure (i.e.
"... Graphics Catalog B\Graphics ...")
Before you open Book B in FM, temporarily rename the graphics
folder that the FM files in Book A uses, e.g. "Graphics Catalog Z".
Now, when you open the files in Book B, FM won't be able to find
the old graphics since the folder name has changed. For each file,
FM will open the "Missing graphics" dialog, where you need to
browse to the new graphics folder, e.g. "Graphics Catalog B\Graphics".
Select the correct file that FM asks for, and tick the option to
use this folder for all remaining graphics.
If all the image file names are identical, you will only need to
do this once per FM file. If you really need the image file names
to differ like you said:
> ..\..\..\Graphics Catalog A\Graphics\a000123.png
> ..\..\..\Graphics Catalog B\Graphics\b000123.png
then you need to select the correct file name for *each* graphics
that FM cannot find. This is a good reason to keep the file names
identical, even though the folder name has changed.
When all the files have opened, rename the original graphics folder
back to "Graphics Catalog A".

How can I change the file location under "Information"?
Somehow my iPod or computer generated a 2nd file named "music" within the existing file "music" where all my songs are stored. I don´t know why this happened and when I just discovered it today.
Now more than half of the songs are located under "c:\music\music". When I change this back on my computer using Explorer, i.e. move all files up one level under "c:\music" then my iPod administration gives me a failure notice for all these songs after the next synchronisation. When I check under "Information" of a song I´m told that the storage location of this song is "c:\music\music". So when I want to play that song I´m offered to search for the original which I do and puff.... the 2nd file "music" is created again and now the song is again stored under "c:\music\music".
I can change almost every entry under "Information" but not the storage location.
How can I change this back? I don´t want this! Do I have to be a slave of stupid Apple programming and keep this 2nd folder although I don´t want to have or use it?!
Thanks for helping with this!You can do this when exporting:

How do I change default file location for NON-MUSIC files?
My Laptop's "My Document" folder is on network per the corporate configuration. When I am not on VPN, I can not start iTunes since it looks for files on network.
Also my "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" folder on the network is growing quite large since all *.ipa files are stored there.
Is there any way to point all file locations to my C drive?
ThxApp store files will get put in a subfolder named \Mobile Applications.
The preference files will stay on the C: drive under your user profile.

Just started using Photos and when I try to turn on iCloud syncing, it says "1 referenced file cannot sync to iCloud...select referenced files in your library and choose "consolidate" from the file menu..."
I get why this is happening, but I cannot find the referenced file in my library for the life of me. I created a smart album and set the photo to referenced and it pulls up 0 images. I have meta > referenced turned on and i visually scanned my photos and don't see a single one with this icon. I could have missed it because there's thousands.
How do I find this referenced file so I can deal with it?? I want to know what photo is referenced. Thanks.No, but somehow the issue has been resolved for me. I moved quite a bit of photos around to different (new) albums and changed some dates on photos. Somehow there's no more message about any referenced files. I'm not sure how it happened though.

I asked about automatic backup of bookmarks and received the following answer:You can make Firefox 3 create an automatic HTML backup (bookmarks.html) when you exit Firefox if you set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML] to true on the about:config page. That backup is created by default in the profile folder as bookmarks.html, but you can set the file name and path via the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.bookmarks.file browser.bookmarks.file] on the about:config page. I went to about:config page and toggled browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML to “Yes” and it’s working. However, I want to change the file location, but I can’t find browser.bookmarks.file in the list.
The browser.bookmarks.file preference does not exist by default. Right-click in about:config and select "New > String" to create it.

Hi,
In selection screen (parameter) user will give input TXT file from presentation server to upload to SAP. I need to capture the file name only but not the path and need to concatenate with date stamp and need to download error log in XLS file to presentation server.
How to find out the file name from selection screen?
I searched SCN threads but not found relavant solution.
Thanks,
R KumarHi
This code gets only filename from selection screen :
REPORT x.
PARAMETERS p_file(100).
DATA : gv_full_path LIKE ibipparms-path,
gv_full_path_string TYPE string,
gv_filename(100),
gv_file_ext(3).
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
Ask user to select file with a popup :
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
IMPORTING
file_name = gv_full_path.
Get filename from path :
gv_full_path_string = gv_full_path.
CALL FUNCTION 'CH_SPLIT_FILENAME'
EXPORTING
complete_filename = gv_full_path_string
IMPORTING
extension = gv_file_ext
name = gv_filename.
CONCATENATE gv_filename '.' gv_file_ext INTO gv_filename.
p_file = gv_filename.
I hope it helps. -

How to find PG.xml file name and path associated with a FUNCTION
Hi,
I am having a function:IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE with Web HTML value as below:
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAPB=IRC_BRAND
How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.
Thanks,
ashokAshok,
Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

When Saving a file finder changes the file name
After updating to Mountain Lion, every time I save a file, I put in the correct file name and after beginning to save the file the file name is changed to a file name that was saved weeks ago. It does not matter where or with what program I save it, it begins to save under the correct name and sometime before the save is complete finder changes the file name to a file a saved weeks ago.
What library file do I have to delete this time to make this stupid thing stop doing that?!?It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step. -
how i can change temporary files directory on firefox 3.6.8 because my system disk has little space
In Firefox,the equivalent ofInternet Explorer temporary internet files is the cache.
You can change the location of the cache by adding a new preference, for details see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory
If you are not confident about adding the preference, I know of one add-on that lets you specify the path of the cache. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13288/ Super Tab Mode] is an add-on that enhances Firefox tab handling, but also has a section for changing the location of the cache -
