Question

IgnoreTags resource

Hello,

Is there a way of setting this resource programmatically?

We have an old plugin that did not have this resource and now the documents are being opened in InDesign 5 we are getting the missing plugin message.

Our new plugin has this resource. I was rather hoping that opening the old documents with the new plugin loaded and saving the documents would solve this, afraid not.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You need a schema based convertre like:

#include "Schema.fh"

//    See also Class definition of kDLxSlugDataPersistConversionProviderBoss.

resource SchemaFormatNumber( 1 ) {
    {
        {    //    Old format number to convert, where slug is marked CriticalTags().
            kDLxMajorFormatNumber,
            kDLxMinorFormatNumber_Critical
        },
        {    //    New format version number, where slug is marked IgnoreTags().
            kDLxMajorFormatNumber,
            kDLxMinorFormatNumber
        },
    }
};


resource DirectiveList( 1 ) {
    {
        {
            IgnorePlugin
            {
                {    //    New format version number, where slug is marked IgnoreTags().
                    kDLxMajorFormatNumber,
                    kDLxMinorFormatNumber
                }, // new version number
                kDLxPluginID
            }
        },
    }
};

/*    Boss class definition.
*/
resource ClassDescriptionTable( kSDKDefClassDescriptionTableResourceID )
{{{
    Class {
        kDLxSlugDataPersistConversionProviderBoss,
        kInvalidClass,
        {
            IID_ICONVERSIONPROVIDER, kSchemaBasedConversionImpl,
            IID_IK2SERVICEPROVIDER, kConversionServiceImpl,
        }
    },
}}};

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your reply, I will give it a go.

I did not mention that is problem is being caused by hidden text and character attributes. The other big problem is I do not know the version numbers.

Thanks again.
