All of our graphics are linked to a separate network location from the FrameMaker files.
We moved graphics files to new location. so now it is asking to connect every images from new folder.

update images from new folder?.

    FrameMaker doesn't have a way to update paths in every file in a book. Assuming all the graphics used in a file are in the same location, opening the file and updating the location for the first graphic will fix all the graphics in that one file.

     

    If you have a lot of files, though, you might want to look into Rick Quatro's PathChanger script, which writes out all the paths in a book to an Excel file, lets you update the Excel file, and then writes the updated path information back into all the files in the book. If you make a "book of books" that includes all the books you are working on, you can get them in one fell swoop.

     

    NB: I haven't used the script. I rather expect that if you have a lot of files that both the write out and the write back will take a while, and of course the editing in Excel is going to be tedious.
