Variable for adding file name of imported images?

An option might be to create a generated LOR of imported graphics. Under each graphic in the document you can insert a cross reference to the filename in the generated list. It is not really a completely automated solution though.

Hi Sue:

One more idea: this is a similar concept to a List of Effective Pages, but you are inputting graphic names in the running heads instead of dates. You could accomplish this by adding a template frame to the master page (you can add content on body pages to template frames but not to background frames), defining a new flow and disabling auto-connect. Then you can add your graphic names directly to the body pages (no variables required).

Here is a link to how to create an LEP, which may help you gain an understanding of how to set it up.

I think You can't do that with a variable. A variable has a fixed contents and it is placed on a master page very body pages shows the same text...

A script could do this:

• Run through all anchored frames and check for the name of the imported (by reference!) 
• Either overlay the graphic in a corner with a text line containing that path/name (see the bottom right corner of the graphic at https://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker82.html
• Or add a paragraph after the anchored frame with this information.
• Or insert a footnote with that information (referenced directly after the anchor of the frame)
