<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The problem occurs when a linked file, like an image in an anchored frame, is imported by browsing manually to the location defined using a logical drive like X:.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">When right-clicking on the image and looking at its properties the image path starts with X:.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This causes the image blinking.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">With scripting, I replace the X: with the server name
<a href="file:///\\ServerName">\\ServerName</a> in the image path and all becomes well again. Scripting lets me make this correction over all my document set quickly and surely.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I reason that since the document path starts with
<a href="file:///\\ServerName">\\ServerName</a> and the image path starts with X: that FM does not use a relative path.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">What I can attest to is that my problem of imported images blinking on the screen in my FM 9 documents is resolved when I replace a logical drive with the real network address. Hence my guess that the logical
drive causes problems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="DE"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(Windows7, FM9)<span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The server (ex. <a href="file:///\\Server">\\Server</a>) that houses our FM files is assigned a logical drive X:. I believe this has something to do with protecting against viruses.
<span style="color:red">FM does not like this</span>.<span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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).<span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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
<a href="file:///\\Server">\\Server</a>) to open books/documents but someone always forgets. I now have scripts that check the path for x-refs and images imported by reference.<span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know if this problem exists in later versions of FM (10 or 11)? That would solve this problem once and for all.<span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks,<span lang="DE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
