[Framers] In FM 2019, the "Update Book" function "dies" in the middle of a long book

[Fred Ridder]

Have you tried opening all the component files before you kick off the update book operation? If you don't do this, any kind of "informational" dialog like the infamous "missing fonts" message or "inconsistent conditions" or "inconsistent color definitions"  messages will make the book update hang because the dialog must be dismissed before the file in question can be fully opened.

Opening all the files in not as onerous as it sounds. If you hold down Ctrl when you pull down the File menu, all the commands (Open, Save, Save As) will be "all" commands (Open All, Save All, etc.). Just remember that you do have to explicitly save the updated component files after running the update because they are not automatically saved if they are in the open state when updated.

Subject: [Framers] In FM 2019, the "Update Book" function "dies" in the middle of a long book

Hi,
I have a particularly long book (about 30 files, 1200 pages total, non-structured FM) that "dies" in the middle (towards the first third, actually) of the update (book generation).

I update other books successfully---all the time. It's just this one book that has been causing me tremendous, frustrating problems.

Actually, I succeed on the first attempt (typically); but can't get it to work after that and this prevents me from being able to work on it.

Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to "fix" it?

Thanks much in advance,
Barry Meislin
