Question

Generating a List of References in FM12 to include External Cross-References and Imported Graphics, but no Imported Graphic references show in the LOR. Is this a bug in FM12 or what am I doing wrong?

and has always generated the list of references just fine.  Now in FM12, the LOR no longer will give any references for the Imported Graphics.  I have even tried creating a new chapter from the FM12 templates, adding the chapter to the front of the book, and allowing FM12 to use that file as the template for the LOR.  Still no success - it will not give any references to the Imported Graphics in my chapter files.  Is this a bug in FM12?  Is there something different about FM12 that would cause this not to work with existing FM11 files???  Please help, I need this resolved and working.

Thank you,

Beverly

    If the graphics are imported by copy, then nothing will show, as thid devers all links to the original source.

    Hi Arnis,

    Thank you for the reply.  All of my graphics are imported by reference, not copied into the chapter files.  In my original post, the first part of my longer description got cut off (as you can see) - I don't know why, it was there when I submitted the post.  But, part of what got cut off was that I have been using the List of References for years to give me a list of all my imported graphics and I have never had issues with it.  Now suddenly with FM12 it just quit working.  I have done nothing differently.

    Also - as I was typing this, the first two lines or so of the above paragraph suddenly disappeared!!  I had to retype it.  The greeting did not disappear - only the beginning part of the paragraph.  Has anyone ever reported that issue with the blog?  Guess what, it just did it again, and I had to retype again.  ....  It has happened 3 times now.  I am submitting before I loose anything else.

    Thank you,

    Beverly

    Are you patched to the latest version of FM12? (12.0.2, there have been two patches released and need to be applied in order)

    Are there any issues with opening any files in the book when updating the book file? If there are, then the LOR process won't complete. Try opening all of the component files first (in the Book, shift + File Open to do this in one go).

    AFIK, there haven't been any issues reported with generating a LOR in FM12.
