FM9 Map to FM book with components question

I've begun experimenting with FM9 (trial at this point), and all is going pretty well.

But, when creating a FM book from my ditamap and xml, I want to segregate it from the xml sources. I can specify the book file to go to a different directory, but the FM files generated in the process are staying in the directory with their xml sources.

I'm not seeing a setting or a line in maker.ini to cover this. Did I overlook something?

Thanks in advance
Bruce

Hi Bruce...

I do believe that this is a limitation of FM9's DITA implementation. I don't have access to FM9 right now to verify however.

DITA-FMx 1.1 will soon be available for FM9 and allows you to specify an alternate location for the book and generated FM files.

Cheers,
