Framemaker Outline Panel anyone?

I would love an extension of the book panel that displays a + sign next to each file in the book. Clicking on that plus sign would expand the file and list a hierarchical outline of its Double-clicking on a heading would take me to that section.

Anyone has seen or has an extension that could do that?

IMHO this would require a far wider book panel than currently - thus steeling space for the open documents. You already can have a navigation panel (FM-16 aka 2020) per document (or my script for any FM-version > 10).

Hi

Just to confirm: the navigation panel is only in FM 2020 right? I have FM 2019 and I can't find panels in the View menu.

I will be definitely taking a very close look at your scripts! Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi K. Daube (sorry, couldn't guess your first name 🙂 )

I wanted to thank you for your script. It gives me mostly what I need, the ability to see the structure of a chapter. That's great. One suggestion (and perhaps it is not simple or possible) but could you make the document navigation dockable? I would love to dock it to the book panel and switch between the book view and the chapter view.

Thank you so much for all your effort and work! Amazing job!

This is not possible with dialogues or panels defined in ScriptUI, the UI method of ExtendScript.

I could see that being a useful feature. You can post it here:

I like the idea, too. And just making sure that you are aware of View > Panels > Navigation View? It's document-specific so not quite what you are asking for, but if you didn't know about it, you may find it helpful.

Hi Barb,

Thank you for the tip but in FM 2019, I can't find a navigation view. I suspect that this is a 2020-only feature. Since I'm a personal user, the idea that I have to pay a yearly subscription to use FM rubs me the wrong way so I'm still using 2019!

Yes, that is correct. It's a feature in 2020 and the brand-new 2022.
