I cannot help showing how this can be done on a system that supports
batch processing and scripting for free, without plug-ins:

1. Use fmbatch to save all files to MIF (or my 'fm2mif' script).

2. Run the following command:
   sed 's/<FrameType Inline *>/<FrameType Below >/' file.mif > file.MIF

3. Use fmbatch/mif2fm to save all edited MIF files to binary.

It takes a minute or two of your time to set this up. Execute, take a
coffee break or work on something else, and you're done...
