Hi,

I have a few versions of the archive plugin. E-mail me and I'll send them to you.

    An alternative might be to upgrade to FrameMaker 2015. FM 2015 has a built in "Package" feature that helps to archive single files or complete books.

    Hi Stefan,

    The package script in FrameMaker 2015 only "packages" the files that are in the current folder as the FrameMaker *.fm or *.book. This is not very useful if all of the necessary files are in different folders.

      Hi Tom,

      the > File > Package packs all files of a book together including files in subfolders. However, files that exist "outside" of the containing folder (e.g. files in a folder "parallel" to the folder that contains the book or files on other drives) will not be packaged. Do you know if Bruce Foster's plugin is doing this?

      Cheers,

      *Stefan.
