Relative Path Problem for Linked Graphics

[Owen, Clint]

Alison,

If I understand your situation correctly, all you need to do is use the
"Open All Files in Book" commend from the File Menu (Shift + Open). When
you receive the "Can't find the Graphic" dialog, just navigate to the
new graphic directory and click on the correct file. Make sure that
"update to New Path" is checked, then hit OK. FM should automatically
find all of the remaining graphics in the new directory. Then just "Save
ALL".

HTH,

Clint

Jeff:

I've had that suggested to me by others as well and I'll do it if I have
to.

What about saving the files as MIF & using a find/replace tool to comb
through them?

Version: FM9 (9.0p237)
Unstructured
OS: XP Pro with SP3

I received a set of Spanish files back from my LSP today and as I was
making some adjustments within the files (I do the final format tweaking
as DTP charges are outrageous) it became obvious that they had
completely screwed up my graphics - which I import by reference. As the
LSP is in Europe I am hoping there is a simple batch method to change
the relative path for my all graphics rather than have to re-link by
hand or wait for a set of corrected files.

The path is only out by one level.

The FM files sit directly above my "Graphics (Linked)" directory (which
is further categorized by Chapters, Appendices, etc.). However, there is
now another directory above "Graphics (Linked)" entitled "FM"

...\FM\Graphics (Linked)...

instead of

...\Graphics (Linked)\...

Is there a simple way I can get rid of the "FM" in the relative path (I
don't have FrameScript) or am I screwed and need to wait for updated
files from my LSP?

Alison

FYI: This isn't a mistake the LSP normally makes. I have no idea what
they were playing at but I'll be having words with them!
