plugin for tracking text insets

[Spectrum Writing]

Joseph,

I know that you said that you're not looking for FMscript, but I can tell
you from personal experience, that I could find no plugin to do all that you
are asking, but Rick Quatro (www.frameexpert.com) wrote me some beautiful
scripts that do exactly what you're asking. I have been using for years now
and they are a lifesaver. I can provide a list of their names if you want to
ping Rick about them.

Subject: plugin for tracking text insets

Hi all,

I have a master book that contains all the other books in my doc set I am
looking for a plugin to generate the following info:

1. identify all the text insets in every book. Generate a count of all the
insets.
2. create a list of insets, for each inset identify which book and FM file
the inset is in. Also provide the file path to the inset.
3. ability to screen out insets i don't want to see
4. ability to screen out duplicates. ie if "inset1" pops up in the book the
multiple times, i might only want to see it first the time.
5. ability to do 1-4 with conditional build expressions (minus providing the
file path.)
6. ability to do this with graphics.

Is there a plugin out there that does this? I am not interested in
framescript though. I just want to take a file, drop it into my plugin
folder, and start using it. Basically, I am looking for some robust
reporting capabilities that gives me an idea about what state my
documentation is in.

Thanks,
Joseph Lorenzini
