Hi all and sorry for my english...

I'm working with indesign and I have create some "homemade" script that I use with this program...

I want to make the thing "professional" and want to develope a plugin that from indesign show a list of my script and run it with 2 click of mouse...

In that way I can also hide source of my script...

Is it possible?

Thanks

Hello Firfoxll_cc,

Yes it totally possible to implement a plugin that does what you want, but before you go out trying to make one did you look at the Scripts panel already present in Indesign. In the scripts panel you can see a listing of all the scripts present in a particular location of your file system and it even allows to run the scripts by double clicking on them. In order to hide your source code you can export the scripts in binary and use the jsxbin files for distribution.
