Where does FrameMaker create the file fmfilesvisited? FaxYI number 463336 _________________________________________________________________ Issue Where does FrameMaker release 5 create the file fmfilesvisited? Also, is it possible to have the this file created in a place other than a user's home directory? Solution If no files are opened during the first session of FrameMaker (following installation), FrameMaker will create the file fmfilesvisited upon exiting this first session and the file will remain empty. When this file is created it could be written to one of the following places: $HOME/fminit/UILanguage/configui/fmfilesvisited $HOME/fminit/UILanguage/fmfilesvisited $HOME/fminit/fmfilesvisited $HOME/fmfilesvisited (UILanguage refers to the User-Interface language directory, i.e. usenglish, francais, etc.). The longest pathname is the correct place to have the file built. FrameMaker will search for the configui directory first and then attempt to locate the UILanguage and fminit directories. If none of these directories exist, FrameMaker will create the fmfilesvisited file in the user's home directory. Once any FrameMaker files are opened, this list of files is kept in memory during a FrameMaker session. When the session is ended, this information is written to disk in the fmfilesvisited file. The next time any Frame processing product is opened, this particular list will appear under the File menu. If you would like FrameMaker to create this file in a directory other than your home directory (ex. when many users are running under the same login name), you can set the X resource: Maker.filesRecentlyVisitedPath: path_to_fmfilesvisited This commented-out X resource already exists in the Maker file ($FMHOME/fminit/xresources/Maker) however the resource can be set in a variety of places (please see p.3 of the online manual Changing Setup Files for the search order FrameMaker uses). The resouce is expected to contain a complete file path.
