Hi,

I am getting error in deleting a directory, when I relink the image on document to some other image. The directory which I'm trying to delete is the same directory from from where I did the relinking.Is there any way to solve this error while deleting the folder.

Hi,

Adding a bit clearity to my last post.

case 1:

  • I create a new document in InDesign.
  • Using 'place'  from File->place,
  • which open a dialog and I select a image to place on the document.
  • Next time, agian when i am using the "place" option, then dialog opens with the same location which i had used last time.
  • Then i save and close this document.
  • After that when I try to deletes the folder,  which I had used to place image on document. Then in this case the folder gets deleted silently without any error.

case 2:

  • suppose I create a Indesign document and place a image (which is at "C:\folder1\img1.jpg") on the document.
  • Then using the link panel, I relinked the image on document to another image (which is at "C:\folder2\img2.jpg").
  • again if i use the relink panel for relinking then dialog open fron the same location which is had used for last time, (as in this case it will be ""C:\folder2) .
  • I save and close the document.
  • Now when I'm trying to delete  the folder (which is same is containing the image I've used for relinkin), as rmdir /S /Q "C:\folder2\img2.jpg". 
    • here getting error as "the process cannot acces the file because it is being used by another process".

Here in both the cases the dialog opens, and a item is selected, next time, if the process is repeated the dialog open from the last location.

but in second case during the deletion of that folder error comes.

My question is hwhat  can Ido to  make link panel to behave the same way as the place option is behaving with the folder when folder is being deleted.
