Bridge CS5 to InDesign Contact Sheet

[stewbrinegar]

Hey there,

We recently upgraded from CS3, and noticed that this script is no longer in the Tools menu. We store all the retouching instructions in the metadata of our images, and it's helpful to create a contact sheet that lists the file name and the instructions under each image. The CS3 tool was helpful, as it automatically placed all the images on a page and allowed the user to specify which metadata fields to display. InDesign Live Caption is an option, but it requires manually placing the images, and will not, for some reason allow the 'instructions' field to display.

Has anyone updated the CS3 script to work with CS5?

No kidding? We have to pay for the priviledge to be able to make a contact sheet if it was previously in Bridge CS3/4?

You 'could edit' your old script to work with InDesign CS5's major overhaul… and when your done do let me have a copy…?

That way I won't pay 'you' for your hard work… many thanks in advance…
