Importing FM content to Flare - Changing image import location

[David Schor]

Hi Jon,

I see that I can filter the view, so it makes it easier to select the
graphics in order to move them to the Images folder. However, the problem
remains that apparently, Flare by design, is importing the graphics together
with the HTM output files into the same directory (even its Help admits that
"it's messy" (LOL) so perhaps this is something that Madcap will fix in a
future release (I'm working in v4.2). I would like to be able to choose the
location for importing the graphics.

Thanks very much! All the best,
David
