thanks for the info! i tried copy and pasting the exact plist file for ipages 09 but the new frames didn’t appear.

Would gladly appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Good morning !

I made a little installer to do this automatically, for iWork and iWeb 08 and 09 … It also allows you to return to the defaults settings !

Everything is explained in the readme part … and it’s naturally free

Thanks for giving us the tip on the extra frames!

However I have to say this is just another example of how unMaclike much of the NEXT programmers’ efforts are. They have trouble handling the bleeding obvious, it seems to make them extremely uncomfortable.

There are so many silly and poorly thought out features in the iWorks suite you could write a book on them alone.

THanks, I’ll try to post a story linking to your new article. The other option is reprinting it here with your name on it if you don’t mind

Just an FYI… I’ve updated my frames preview page with the new ’09 frames and I’ve made the instructions a little more generic (iWork instead of just Keynote):

Yes, the same rules apply, in fact, I’m pretty sure the file name is the same, or nearly the same.

can this be done with pages as well?
how?

No, it still works. I just cracked open my copy of Keynote 08 and opened Contents, then Resources and there’s the file where it should be (along with loads of other files, including .tiffs).

is this a 10.5 or better option? I’m using 10.4.11 and after working down to the “Resources” folder it’s full of .tiff files. the file “BGGraphicInspetorFrames.plist” does not appear to be in the folder. Help

I’m having trouble locating the Frames folder, could you give an exact path please?

There are 72 regular frames, and a few “Smart Stroke” frames as well. I counted 73 inside the app, but one of those was NONE.

Just a note to say that on the 30 inch screen, you can see all of the frames. I count 74 total.

Whooohooo !!

Brian- Thanks so much for sharing the cut & paste frames! So much better for browsing. I was interested to see that the “book” images will change the binding orientation (landscape or portrait) as you rotate the image.

I wrote a quick perl script to parse the index.plist files for all the frames in the Frames directory to fetch their name and preview icon. I copied them all to a folder and took screenshots in finder to use as preview images for the many available frames. This helped me a lot figuring out which frames I wanted and which ones I didn’t care for (without having to restart Keynote multiple times).

Maybe somebody else will find it useful.
