This is an AppleScript for dealing with links (at the moment just modified links) in all open documents. Like:
- "Linkcheck AUS" -- disables modified and missing link check at open
- "Links aktualisieren" -- update modified links in open documents
- "Linkcheck EIN" -- enables modified and missing link check at open
After executing the script in InDesign you'll be presented with a "function" dialog. This is where you can choose from one of the functions above.
Use my scripts at your own risk! I am not responsible for any damages to your InDesign Documents!
With my Repositories I just want to give the world back what I have got from others who share their code –
usable, productive AppleScripts!
Want to contribute? Great! You sure know what to do, I am new to Github so I don't know if I am doing this right :)
Normally, in InDesign, I use the *.scpt format because it it precompiled but at the same time contains the code and is viewable via QuickLook.
I'm also commiting an *.applescript file, just because it it readable (If you just want to take a look) on github and the precompiled is not.
Both types are usually commited together – always – if not, then it wasn't necessary.
At the moment the script is mixed, english and german. with the documentation beeing mostly in english but most strings are in german.
As far as I researched it is not trivial to localize AppleScripts. We (the studio I work in) use these scripts
My scripts should work in a variety of InDesign Versions which is wy I use the Application ID instead of the name.
But they should definitly work in the latest InDesign Version. We update our Adobe apps as soon as a new version comes out.
Put the file in the application folder "Adobe InDesign CSx" > "Scripts" > "Scripts Panel"
open InDesign and some documents and start the script from the "Scripts Panel"
