### 35.7.1 Copying referenced graphics to a distribution directory

When you specify WrapAndShip=Yes or designate a WrapPath directory, for HTML output Mif2Go automatically copies graphics files from the project directory to the directory designated by [Graphics]GraphPath; see §23.3 Locating graphics files for HTML. Mif2Go can also copy graphics files from other locations.

To have Mif2Go copy the graphics files referenced by your document to a location relative to the HTML files generated for distribution:

[Automation]

; CopyOriginalGraphics = No (default) or Yes (copy graphics to the

; location specified by GraphPath)

CopyOriginalGraphics = Yes

When CopyOriginalGraphics=Yes, Mif2Go copies graphics from wherever they are referenced by your FrameMaker document to one of the following destinations:

• for JavaHelp and Oracle Help for Java, the directory designated by [JavaHelpOptions]GraphSubdir (see §11.3.7.2 Letting Mif2Go set up the directory structure and copy files)

• for other HTML output types (and DCL output), the directory designated by [Graphics]GraphPath, if any (see §35.7.4 Synchronizing graphics settings for HTML output), otherwise the WrapPath directory

• for RTF output types (and MIF output), the directory designated by WrapPath.

In other words, Mif2Go gathers referenced graphics by following the relevant links in the source document; then, using the values of WrapPath and GraphPath, places those graphics where links in the ready-for-distribution topic files expect to find them.

If your FrameMaker document references graphics files that are in a format not suitable for HTML output, and if you have provided alternates in the same directory with the same file names but a different file extension, you can specify the extension to use for HTML output. See §31.3.1.2 Substituting graphics files for HTML.

Note: If you specify [Automation]OnlyAuto=Yes (see §35.13 Postprocessing separately from converting), and you are relying on CopyOriginalGraphics to get your graphics files into the wrap directory, they will not arrive; graphics files are not copied when OnlyAuto=Yes.
