Application Level - userInteractionLevel

Thanks for the reply Airel,

"what is the problem in setting that pref each time the script runs?"

It's our company access... remote servers build our documents and we VNC monitor about 10 different ones (which often during the day hang on warning dialogs). Getting access to the scripting and backend of the workflow, would be jumping through hoops and would likely not happen... per co-workers and my past experiences. Since we can VNC into them... I was wanting to stuff an "on application start" script, plugin, or some unkown option to me, etc... that suppress "ALL" warning dialogs permanently for InDesign. It would be (100%) totally fine if it ignored missing fonts and un-linked images, since our pre-press department has the fonts and directories to images properly setup. For example having to micro-manage these server with fonts to appease the "missing font" situation is troublesome, we are without font clients for our "Suitcase Server" on these machines and the auto-activation time "per" document would likely be another issue. Another single example would be the various versions of "Arial" floating around, some of our templates have one version, but even comparing deep level "properties" on the Arial font it somehow prefers a duplicate version that we have elsewhere. So it's troubleshooting every little issue and then having to mirror all the servers. A simple turn "off" warnings would be cake.

Although the simple script of "app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;" does not stick (non-permanent)

The following script works so, I've proved to myself that the "UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract" is only active during the script's runtime.

//DESCRIPTION: Open Doc with No Warnings

if (app.version == 5.5) {

  app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;

} else {

  app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.neverInteract;

}

var myFile = File.openDialog("Choose InDesign document to open");

var myErr = "";

if (myFile != null) {

  try {

    app.open(myFile);

  } catch (e) {

    myErr = e;

  }

}

if (app.version == 5.5) {

  app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;

} else {

  app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.interactWithAll;

}

if (myErr != "") {

  alert(myErr);

}
