[Framers] Display full path in FrameMaker book or list of references

Hi Yves,

My PathChanger script will write out all of the absolute paths in a book
(images, cross-references, book components, etc.) to a csv file which can be
opened in Excel. The purpose of the script is to allow you to globally
changed referenced paths in case files get moved, images unresolved, etc.
But you could also use it to view the absolute paths.

Alternatively, a script could be written that could show the absolute path
to a selected image, book component, etc. Let me know what you envision as
the best solution for your problem. Thanks.

Rick

Hi Framers

If the path to a referenced file is really long, FrameMaker displays ..\ in
the FrameMaker book or ../ in the List of References, for example:

..\..\..\..\..\..\safety.fm in the Fm book

or

../../../../../warning_icon.png

Is there a way to see the full path instead?

Thanks

Yves
