FrameMaker file deletion bug

[Heiko Haida]

Hi Eugene, 

sometimes I have similar problems with file visibility
in Windows Explorer of Windows 7, but not directly connected to working
with FrameMaker. I have to wait a while or restart the Explorer until
files show up (again) after moving them. 

I think, the main aspect is
that your actions cause the files to be modified. Windows 7 has some new
features for caching recent files - maybe this causes your trouble.

Although I
never liked FrameMaker 9 very much, I do not think it is FM to be
blamed. 

Best regards and good luck -

> The publications department where I work has experienced
a persistent file deletion bug using Adobe FrameMaker 9 (version
9.0p255) for the past few months. The bug only occurs when opening
FrameMaker books from the network share drive in Windows 7. This network
share drive appears identical to a local drive. When copying FrameMaker
projects to the local hard-drive the problem does not occur. However,
it's essential to work off the network share drive so that other writers
see FrameMaker locked files and do not work on those files
simultaneously. 
> 
> Steps to reproduce issue follow. 
> 
> Scenario
#1: 
> 
> * Open a FrameMaker book file (where the book and associated
FM files are contained in a file folder) on the network share drive.
> *
Generate a TOC.
> 
>> Result: Files in book randomly disappear from
FrameMaker project folder. After restoring the files and running the TOC
again, files randomly vanish again. I use the phrase "randomly vanish"
because which files vanish is unpredictable and constantly changing
every time the TOC is generated.
> 
> Scenario #2: 
> 
> * Open a
FrameMaker book file (where the book and associated FM files are
contained in a file folder) on the network share drive.
> * Highlight
all the files in the book.
> * Select View > Hide Conditional Text
Indicators.
> 
>> Result: Similar to Scenario #1.
> 
> Scenario #3: 
>

> * Open a FrameMaker book file (where the book and associated FM files
are contained in a file folder) on the network share drive.
> *
Highlight all the files in the book.
> * Select Format > Document >
Change Bars.
> * Modify any setting(s) within the Change Bars Properties
dialog box.
> * Click Set.
