3.7.4.4 Using original referenced graphics for HTML

For referenced graphics, checking Use original graphic names in the Mif2Go Export dialog directs Mif2Go to use, wherever possible, the original external graphics file instead of any file created from the graphic by FrameMaker export filters; that is, for any graphic that is alone in its anchored frame, without FrameMaker-added elements. The resulting <img src=...> tag does the following:

You might want to check this option if your conversion project has the following characteristics:

If you choose Write for anchored frames and check Use original graphic names in the Mif2Go Export dialog, you get the best of both worlds: Mif2Go uses original (or replaced) external graphics wherever possible, and also uses FrameMaker export filters to convert graphics for which there is no external name (FrameMaker native graphics, embedded graphics, and reference-page graphics).

Note:   If an image is not the same size as the enclosing anchored frames, the size used when you check Use original graphic names is that of the image, not of the frame, to avoid distorting the image.
