OK, so you don't the FM files available in a book file?
If you do, generating a LOR file is pretty fast.

Another idea would be to save all files to MIF and search for
the filename in the MIF files. But I'm guessing that would be
too much work for you, even if you had DZbatcher.

If you were on UNIX, you could simply do a loop with
"strings filename.fm | grep graphicname"
to see where the file is used. (no need for MIF in this case)
