Configuration settings for FM10 & DITA questions

Question

We are currently using FrameMaker 10 and trying to tweak some configuration settings.

1. Is there any way to change the default location of the user version of maker.ini? On Windows 7 it defaults to C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\version

I'd like to be able to change this to a network location. (Our FM installation is within a remote server that creates a temporary profile every time you open FM, which means that settings are lost.)

2. When using DITA, inserting a topicref into a relationship or DITA map you browse for a file. The default file type is .xml. Is there a way to change this so that the default is .dita (or at least all files)?

[I know how to change the default file type when you create a new DITA file to be .dita rather than .xml (DITA > DITA Options) - the setting is in the ditafm.ini file. But this does not impact the default when you browse for files.]

3. When using DITA and you insert an image, the default file type in the browse window is .JPG. Is there a way to change this?

4. Is there a way to change the default view for DITA files to show Element Boundaries (as Tags)? Currently you have to set it for each file you open.

1. No not that I know – your install of FM10 is probably not supported in the way you describe – FM is supposed to be installed on a local C:\ drive not on a server.

Can’t help you with the rest – try asking in the Structured FM forum.

1. As Jeff says, you can't move the FM specific location, however, you can move an entire Users pofile to another drive/location. This may present issues with other aplications though, so be wary. Detailed instructions can be found here:
