Cannot create a list of Imported Graphics in FM12

Question

I have FM12 and cannot create a list of imported graphics (either by Add > Index of > References - Imported graphics --- or by Add > List of > References - Imported graphics), as I had been able to do in the past. Was this changed in FM12 & if so, why?  I saw a few postings on ‘Extendscript of the week’ instructing on adding certain scripts to the FM program folder, but this did not work either. Can someone help me with this?  If you've used the scripts I'm referring to, and got them to actually work, could you provide detailed instructions? The ones provided are certainly lacking.

Thank you.

Apparently it was as simple as updating to FM 12.0.2.

From the Adobe FrameMaker 12.0.2 ReadMe file:

Feature enhancements

Generating a list or an index of references (imported graphics) results in a blank file. (Ref#: 3725424)

I don't know that it is accurately called an "enhancement" but more of a "fix" since it has always worked in earlier versions.

Anyway, thanks again!

Open the Insets Pod and check to see if any of the graphics are listed there. If they are not, then any graphics that are in your documents have been imported by copy and there is nothing that FM can generate for a List (or Index) of References. Otherwise, it works just fine here on my installations.

Also, are you fully patched to FM12.0.2?
