Change editor types after creating a BookXRefs file

If you need to change editor types after creating a BookXRefs file, you'll probably need to re-create the BookXRefs file from scratch. If you're sure there are no high-ASCII characters, you can just change the EditorType parameter (in the General section) accordingly (1=external editor; 0=internal editor). Before making this change, you may want to make a backup copy of the file.

If you have only one xref group, the easiest way to switch editors is to first verify that you have imported the latest xrefs into your Frame documents, then generate a new BookXRefs file (selecting the correct editor type).

If you have multiple xref groups, you will need to perform a series of import and generate operations, while copying and pasting the resulting groups into a new hand-build BookXRefs file. The following procedure described one possible method:

In a temporary folder, create a new book file that includes a single temporary document. Give the book the same name as your real book file.
Copy the BookXRefs file into the temporary folder and make a copy of the BookXRefs file. You should have two BookXRefs files, <bookname>-BookXRefs.INI and ORIGINAL_<bookname>-BookXRefs.INI.
Use the Import XRef Definitions command and import the first xref group into the book.
Use the Generate BookXRefs File command and overwrite the BookXRefs file specifying the new text editor type. Be sure to select the xref types that are included in this xref group (you may need to look in the "original" copy of the BookXRefs file to get this right).
Rename the newly generated BookXRefs file to <groupname>_<bookname>-BookXRefs.INI.
Copy the original BookXRefs file to <bookname>-BookXRefs.INI and repeat steps 3 through 6 on each xref group.
Now you should have a separate groupname BookXRefs file for each xref group. Open the first file in a text editor, then copy and paste the xref group section from each groupname BookXRefs file into the first one. Edit the Groups section so the Count parameter matches the number of groups defined, and there is a numbered entry for each group.
For example, if you have 4 groups, the Groups section could look like the following:
```
[Groups] 
Count=4 
1=GroupOne 
2=GroupTwo 
3=GroupThree 
4=GroupFour
```
Now rename the merged BookXRefs file to <bookname>-BookXRefs.INI, and it should work properly using the new editor.

Note: We realize that this is a very convoluted procedure. Please let us know if this is actually something that you do frequently, and we'll make it into a new command for an update to this plugin.
