relink script issue.

[lara@7]

Hello, everyone.

I am writing the script for relinking on illustrator file. It is perfectly working on illustrator CC2014. but I got the issue on illustrator CC2017 and illustrator CC2018.

Note: I am mentioned manual link location and Script linked locations differ on link palate location. snapshot for your reference.

kindly advice how to mention the folder location in the script.

Issue reference:

Folder structure reference:

Script reference:

#target illustrator-21 

function linkReplacer() { 

     var orginalUIL = app.userInteractionLevel; 

     app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS; 

     if (app.documents.length == 0) { 

          alert('Please have an "Illustrator" document open before running this script.'); 

          return; 

     } else { 

          docRef = app.activeDocument; 

     } 

     var defaultFolder = new Folder (Folder(app.activeDocument.path + '/../040 Images/043 High Res')); 

     var psdFolder = defaultFolder; 

     if (psdFolder == null) return; 

     with (docRef) { 

          var placedFiles = new Array(); 

          for (var i = 0; i < placedItems.length; i++) { 

               placedFiles.push(placedItems.file.name); 

          } 

          for (var j = 0; j < placedItems.length; j++) { 

               var rePlace = new File(psdFolder.fsName + '/' + placedFiles); 

               if (rePlace.exists) { 

                    placedItems.file = rePlace; 

               } else { 

                    alert('File "' + placedFiles + '" is missing?'); 

               } 

          } 

     } 

     app.userInteractionLevel = orginalUIL; 

} 

linkReplacer();

I am trying to follow your post...I am a little confused as to what you are asking. So it is putting in the wrong file location?

[lara@7]

yes, palate mention location is wrong.

where is the activeDocument saved?

var defaultFolder = new Folder (Folder(app.activeDocument.path + '/../040 Images/043 High Res'));

Hi CarlosCanto,

Active Document saved location for your reference (smb://indae01/ExampleJobContainer/00_Kalai_Test/030 Assembly/activeDocument.ai).

Thanks in Advance.

your script worked fine here under Windows 10, CC2019. It didn't add the unwanted folders.

do this folder actually exist? or is it just wrongly reported in the UI?

this script worked fine here under iMac (OS: macOS High Sierra, CC2017 to CC2019.

it is wrongly reported in the UI.

oh ok, then it is not impeding your work, still annoying but at least you can carry on.
