Does anyone else use this feature with no problems?

Arnis Gubins Oct 28, 2014 7:20 AM (in response to bowen192)The usual suspects: network location, book file in different folder from source files, convoluted/long paths, TEMP folder (nearly) full, aggressive anti-virus grabbing file before FM, etc.
What does the Publish log file say?

Comma in file or directory names. This is unlikely, but worth checking.

4. Re: Creating a Responsive HTML5 book
bowen192 Oct 28, 2014 7:35 AM (in response to Arnis Gubins)It's the path, you're right Arnis.
Because I have re-named all the files in my book to get rid of the *.fm (for the filename cross-references), Framemaker cannot find them. Adding the *.fm extension fixes the problem.
Not sure what I'm going to do here as I know there is no fix for the extension problem.
Hmm. May have to generate another set of files with *.fm extensions.

Symbolic links ("shortcuts" on Windows). The same file would have two names, one with .fm, the other without.

Arnis Gubins Oct 28, 2014 12:41 PM (in response to bowen192)Why do you need to get rid of the .fm extensions? The correct links will be created during the publish step.

I'm sure that would work, but I honestly wouldn't know where to begin.
You could point me in the right direction, but bear in mind I'm part of the Windows generation.

I use the variable <$filename> extensively in my documents. The file name is displayed as filename.fm, so I have to remove all file extensions at book level.
It's a long standing FM problem that even Word has a fix for.

Right-click on a file in the file manager (Windows Explorer).
Select "Create shortcut".
For an earlier discussion, see: System Variables
The shortcut doesn't need to be in the same directory as the real file.

That's what I thought you meant, but I convinced myself otherwise; I cannot believe that actually worked!
What a great tip.
Didn't fix the Publishing problem, but it fixes another big one.
