Hello,

my question is how i really can install the script "swap images". The tutorials on other sites ore at YouTube are old ore dont work. I tried to put the scipt into the script file from InDesign but it didnt worked so i hope you guys can help me so make the work easier.

- Maybe my file is in a wrond folder (but the tutorial says it 1:1 liem i did it)

- Maybe the script "swap images" is old  and dont work with my version 14.0.1

I hope you guys can help.

Best regards

I'm running IDCC2019 14.0.1 running on a Mac 10.13.6 and the swap places/images script works fine.

The script was given new life in this IDS article: https://indesignsecrets.com/exchange-or-swap-two-images-free-indesign-script.php

Thanks. Its now work perfect.

But is there a way to put the command "switch" images" into the headline to click it like the other shortcuts and not only with the right mouse.

Marc Autret of Indiscripts has written a very good article on how to make scripts available via customised menus: http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2010/02/how-to-create-your-own-indesign-menus

Follow the instruction in the links mentioned below

I am not sure if you are not able to execute the script or the script gives you an error, as i am not sure about the source of your script so can't comment if the script is compatible with the version of your InDesign or not. However following the above instructions you will be able to get the script executed. If you get an error after that we can have a look at it as well
