Importing FM content to Flare - Changing image import location

[Sharon Burton]

****I work for MadCap****

It's a good feature request. I'll send it on. Make sure you submit it too,
using the Feature request on the Start page in Flare.

You can move the graphics after the import. If you need help, send me an
email and I'll walk you thru it.

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
