Here are the instructions to generate a list of imported graphics. I use
Frame 5.5, but I think it was similar in previous versions.
Open your file. Use the File - Generate/Book menu sequence. Select the List
option and choose List of References from the drop down list. Click OK.
Select Imported Graphics and you're set to go.
You'll get a report with all imported graphics, including dpi and page
number!

Subject: Missing Graphics File
As the first technical writer at my company, I've inherited a lot of
documents from the various people. One problem I'm running into is locating
a missing file. When a FM file is opening, FM searches for the
linked/referenced graphics files and displays a dialog box when it cannot
find them. For example,
Missing File
Looking for: "::logos:blahblah.eps"
The problem is that "blahblah.eps" should NOT be anywhere in this document
and I can't find where the darn thing is hiding so I can delete it! Is there
anything that can generate a report of what graphics are used and where? I
searched the archives and could not find anything on this issue. All
assistance is appreciated.
Cheers!
