5.7.3.1 Processing all graphics first

In either of the following circumstances you might want Mif2Go to process graphics before processing the rest of your document:

• Your workflow relies on an older Mif2Go method for RTF output that processed all graphics first.

• You want all graphics written out to files, whether or not the graphics are used in your document or will be included in the output.

To have Mif2Go process graphics before converting the rest of the document:

[Setup]

; GraphicsFirst = No (default, write only needed graphics, after DCL

; process), or Yes (old way, write graphics of the types specified,

; before DCL process)

GraphicsFirst = Yes

When GraphicsFirst=Yes, if you also direct Mif2Go to use FrameMaker export filters, Mif2Go writes out to files all graphics in anchored frames on body pages, and all graphics in frames on reference pages, whether or not they are used in your document. This process can take quite awhile, and use a staggering amount of disk space. Sometimes reference and master pages contain a lot of unused graphics, which Mif2Go normally avoids converting.
