FM9 files on network - logical network drive X:

[Craig Ede]

What happens when you turn off the options View > Options and then
deactivate the Display Graphics radio button in the Display section of the
resulting dialog box? While not optimal, since the graphics will now be
invisible, it seems that would allow editing the documents without the
irritating behavior you describe.

 

I have not experienced this problem, BTW.

I don't believe there has been any change in that behavior. People with FM11
have reported the usual problems.

Hi,

 

(Windows7, FM9)

 

The server (ex. \\Server <file:///\\Server> ) that houses our FM files is
assigned a logical drive X:. I believe this has something to do with
protecting against viruses. FM does not like this.

 

For example, when an image is imported into a FM document using the X: path,
the image blinks in the FM document, as if FM continually updates the
definition of X: and the image path becomes momentarily unknown and then
becomes known (and so the blinking where the image is displayed and then
appears in gray and so on).

 

Now I realize that some cross-references to other FM documents contain X: in
the target document path.  FM does not like that either. May crash because
of this.

 

Our IT guy says that the X: cannot be removed (same profile for all). My
team of tech writers usually uses a shortcut (defined correctly from
\\Server <file:///\\Server> ) to open books/documents but someone always
forgets. I now have scripts that check the path for x-refs and images
imported by reference.

 

Does anyone know if this problem exists in later versions of FM (10 or 11)?
That would solve this problem once and for all.

 

Many thanks,
