UPDATED: Figure titles moved and updated when I save ditamap as book with fm components

Hi again

A strange function. I have created task and concept files and collected those to a ditamap. In XML-files I see the figure titles above my figures and there is Figure 1, Figure 2... in front of titles as wanted. But when I save ditamap as book with fm components, in fm files the titles are shown below the figure, Figure 1, Figure 2.... are lost from front of titles and the title is with very small font in fm files.

I checked the ditafm-output file and changed MoveFigureTitleToFollowImage=0, but no difference.

When I close XML-file and reopen it everything looks like it should.

I use FM 2019 (15.0.0.393).

Where is the problem?

UPDATE:

I tested publishing from a task module to pdf. Figure titles are as should above the figure with text Figure and running number. But if I publish to pdf from ditamap including the same task, the figure titles are moved below the figure. The font size remains and also the text Figure and running number.

Br,

Pekka

Solved!

This fm-figtitle helped me to find another discussion where was an answer to this question (Why does fig/title change to fig/fm-figtitle? ).

After this I started to wonder why my update to ditafm-output didn't affect. Then I noticed in the mentioned discussion that I've been modifying a wrong file (or a file in a wrong folder). I had updated the file in Program Files\Adobe\Adobe FrameMaker 2019\fminit\ditafm and I was supposed to modify the one in AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\15.

New information to the case:

I set the element boundaries as tags active and I noticed, what changes. In xml-file (task) I have title and image elements inside fig element. But in generated file I don't have title element. I have image and fm-figtitle elements inside fig element. I noticed that title element disappear also from tables but there the titles are still shown as wanted. Why? See the attached figures from figure situations.
