5.7.4.3 Naming external graphic metafiles

Mif2Go generates external metafiles for WinHelp; see §31.2.6 Embedding bitmap graphics in WMF for WinHelp for more information.

By default, Mif2Go uses the first five characters of the base file name, and adds a three-digit number. You can change the number of characters and digits:

[Graphics]

; MetaNameChars = chars from base file name

; to use in external WMF file names

MetaNameChars = 5

; MetaNumDigits = number of digits

; to use in external WMF file names

MetaNumDigits = 3

Each appearance of a graphic produces a new file, even if the same graphic has appeared before; and for WinHelp each subscript, superscript, and symbol also produces a metafile. To decide how many characters and digits to specify, consider all of the following:

If a FrameMaker file you are converting to WinHelp contains more than 999 images, you must increase the number of digits used.

If you are trying to keep to 8.3 file names, you might have to reduce the number of letters accordingly.

If your conversion project includes FrameMaker files whose names do not differ in the first three characters, you must increase the number of characters to use.
