Auto-captioning or printing image path in FM doc

Question

We often have to update a very complex software user's manual with
lots of screen captures and would like to either:

a) print (hard copy) a comprehensive list of graphic insets (so we can
mark which ones need updating). I can list all of the insets in FM9
in it's own toolbox, but there seems to be no way to print that (other
than screen capture of THAT and print, but seems awkward)

BETTER YET

b) is it possible to add the name (link) of the graphic inset to the
actual book (like a caption for each image) so we could print an
"editor's copy" that would show the name of the linked graphic next to
each graphic?

Your ideas appreciated!

PS: We are on FM9.0.p196

PPS: It seems like Seatechpubs used to have a Caption Manager plugin that pretty much did this, but they discontinued support.... or does anyone now more about this?

If you generate a List Of References (LOR) for imported graphics, then you will get the information that you want for option "a".

Option "b" could be accomplished with a script using FrameScript.

You also should update your version of FM9.0p196. There have been four patches released. You must install each in sequential order. Many bugs and interface inconsistencies have been fixed in those.
