Question

How do I hide a document's file path in the book panel?

For reasons I don't understand, FM sometimes displays the complete filepath to a document or book, and sometimes it doesn't. How can I keep FM from displaying it?

Cheers,

JP

Hello JP,

If you have saved your Book and all your documents (.fm) in same folder location, it would just display the name of the file, not the complete path.

alternately, you can change it to "Display Heading Text".

you can do that by the Second Button (from right, next to Find/Change)

Thanks,

Hi Anjaneai,

Thanks very much for this answer. It doesn't really solve my problem but it made me realize I have a much bigger problem to deal with. To make a long story short, I've been working with the book and document files that are stored in an old directory, which I did not expect.  I simply want to move the book file and document files to the same new directory, and have FM handle these files and no others.

 

I thought I had already done that, in this way:

I moved the all the files into the new directory  via drag-and drop (in Explorer). I then  double-clicked  on the book file in the new directory. I opened the chapter, IX, and TOC files by double-clicking on them in the FM book window.

I then did a "Save Book."   I assumed that saving the book file would save it, and all document files in that new directory. (Remember, all the files had already been moved to the new directory, and I explicitly chose the book file from that directory.)

So all my files are up-to-date -- they're just in the wrong place except for the book file itself.

How can I get them to the right place?

  1. I can't move the chapter files to the new directory "manualIy" and expect FM to find the right ones automatically when you open the book file.
  2. I can't do an FM "Save as" for .fm files because the Files menu doesn't offer that option for files.
  3. I can't move the files to the new directory and open them explicitly via double-click because when I do this, FM still fetches the files from the old directory!

Best,

JP
