TOC and thumbnails problem

[Alan Z.]

Long ago, I was able to create a Table of Contents that simply enumerated
the navigation links.

Some time ago, this stopped working, and my TOC started showing ALL links,
not just the nav structure.

The problem is that most of my pages contain thumbnail images that link to
larger photos... a real nightmare for the TOC which now shows each of the
thumbnails (thousands of them) instead of 100 pages.

Any way to get around this behavior?

Basically, I'm simply trying to create a site map based on the Navigation
settings.

Thanks in advance

Is this an impossible question??

Actually, it's not an impossible question, since you asked it. But, it's possible the answer may be.

Check your TOC properties (right click the TOC) to not include all links

Stephen,

There is no such choice on the TOC properties.
The choices are:
--Show each page only once (selected)
--Show pages with no incoming hyperlinks (deselected)
--Recompute table of contents when any other page is edited (deselected)

As you can see, my TOC looks pretty ridiculous because of all the thumbnail
links:

So, I'm still looking for a solution... any thoughts?
Some time ago, perhaps an earlier version of FP, this used to work!

I really need a way for the TOC to reflect the Navigation structure, not
just surface all links.

Thanks

Place the thumbnails in a folder that begins with a _ underscore character.

Thomas,

I seems that you're on to something... but not quite right.
If I put the large photos (not the thumbnails) in a folder named with an
underscore, it seems to work.
Simply putting the thumbnails into such a folder doesn't seem to work.
I shudder at the thought of moving several thousand images into different
folder (there are links all over the net that point to some of these photos)
If it was the thumbnail photos themselves, that wouldn't be a problem.
Any other thoughts?

Alan,

Based on what you have indicated, then I was incorrect regard moving the
thumbnails.

However, as a workaround for the TOC, after you have created the page, view
in your browser, then do File Menu | Save As | HTML only to you desktop,
import into FP, then edit to remove the link to photos or items that you
don't want to appear, then delete the FP generated TOC.
