> 36 Converting via runfm > 36.4 Using runfm for Mif2Go conversions > 36.4.2 Identifying your Mif2Go project
When you specify -project
myproject
, the name myproject
is whatever name you gave your Mif2Go project when you set it up via the Choose Project dialog (see §3.3 Creating a Mif2Go conversion project).
Note:
The name myproject
is not the name of your Mif2Go project file; instead, myproject
is a name that is listed in your Mif2Go project file. The names of all the Mif2Go conversion projects you have set up for a given
book or document are listed in a file with extension .prj
,
located in the same directory as the FrameMaker files. See §3.3 Creating a Mif2Go conversion project
and §C.2.1 Conversion files created during set-up.
The name myproject
must be present in the .prj
file for the book
(or document) specified on the runfm
command line (or already open in FrameMaker). If myproject
contains any spaces, enclose the name in quotes.
If you are updating a document using a book project
(a project listed in bookname
.prj
),
you must make sure the book is also open; see §36.4.1.2 Specifying FrameMaker file paths: runfm -book, -doc options.
When you specify a value for -doc
(even if you also specify a value for -book
),
runfm
first looks for docname
.prj
,
in whatever directory you specified in the absolute path to docname
.fm
.
If there is no docname
.prj
file in the specified directory, and a book is open in FrameMaker, runfm
looks for bookname
.prj
.
If this search also fails, runfm
looks for a file named mif2go.prj
.
The -project
option is required to run Mif2Go. If you omit this option, runfm
merely opens FrameMaker and any book or document specified, then stops.
This can be a useful feature, if you frequently start FrameMaker with
the same book and document for editing or testing. You could even create
a desktop shortcut to use runfm
this way.
