Re: Graphic won't stay linked

["Alice Preston" <apreston2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Keith, we used a structure like this:

>Book Directory
       >Icons
       >Graphics

It works fine until you move your book directory, then you have this redirection
problem.  I don't recommend it, and will not be using it in future projects!
(unless some enterprising Framer suggests a way to have Frame find all the
graphics)

John, Alice:

On all the contracts that I have had using Frame, we always made it
a rule that the linked graphics went into a subdirectory of the directory
containing the book. This insured that the graphics were always linked.

If we ftped the file to our service provider, the whole directory was sent.

Only when the graphics were linked higgledy-piggledy all over the place
did Frame lose it's graphics pointers.

I have not tried putting one type of graphics in a subdirectory of the
book directory, (say icons), then putting a second type of graphics
(say screen captures) in a subdirectory of the icon directory.

I don't know if this would work or not. Might be worth a try.

I will try it when I get through with these idiotic Visio drawings
I am having to do.

Aaarrrrggggghhhhh!
