Error in script to relink in Indesing

[Dinafanoe]

Yesterday  I was given a script that relinked in Indesign so fast - and I have used  numerous times yesterday and today.

BUT al of a sudden it gives me a java script error, no 29942 (se attached screenshot)

the script is:

function main() {

    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    var myLinks = doc.links.everyItem().getElements();

    var linkObj = {};

    // create inital object

    /* linkObject {

                    [path]{missingNr,

                          arrayOfMissingLinks}

                          } */

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

        if (myLinks.status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING) {

            var myPath = File(myLinks.filePath).path.toString();

            if (linkObj[myPath] == undefined) {

                linkObj[myPath] = {

                    missingNr: 1,

                    missingLinks: [myLinks],

                    newPath: ''

                }

            } else {

                linkObj[myPath].missingNr++;

                linkObj[myPath].missingLinks.push(myLinks.getElements()[0]);

            }

        }

    }

    //$.writeln(linkObj.toSource());

    var myDialog = new Window('dialog', 'Link Chaser:', undefined);

    var panel1 = myDialog.add('panel', undefined, 'Double click to select new path');

    panel1.align = ['fill', 'fill'];

    var myList = panel1.add('listBox', undefined, "", {

        columnWidths: [160, 160, 130],

        numberOfColumns: 3,

        showHeaders: true,

        columnTitles: ['Old Path', 'New Path', 'Nr. of missing links']

    });

    myList.size = [450, 200];

    myList.align = ['fill', 'fill'];

    for (var missingPath in linkObj) {

        with(myList.add('item', missingPath)) {

            subItems[0].text = linkObj[missingPath].newPath;

            subItems[1].text = linkObj[missingPath].missingNr;

        }

    }

    myList.onDoubleClick = function() {

        var myNewPath = (new Folder(app.activeDocument.filePath).selectDlg("Select New Folder") || '').toString();

        myList.selection.subItems[0].text = myNewPath;

        linkObj[myList.selection.text].newPath = myNewPath;

    }

    myDialog.add('button', undefined, "Ok", {

        name: "ok"

    });

    myDialog.add('button', undefined, "Cancel", {

        name: "cancel"

    });

    if (myDialog.show() == 1) {

        for (var i in linkObj) {

            if (linkObj.newPath != '') {

                var fixedNr = 0;

                var links = linkObj.missingLinks

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

                    var newFile = File(linkObj.newPath + "/" + links.name);

                    if (newFile.exists) {

                        fixedNr++;

                        links.relink(newFile);

                    }

                }

                alert('In folder:\n' + linkObj.newPath + '\n' +

                    'Fixed ' + fixedNr + ' links out of ' + linkObj.missingNr + '\n' +

                    'Please check');

            }

        }

    };

}

app.doScript('main()', undefined, undefined, UndoModes.entireScript, "Link Chaser");

I have NOT changed anything, any procedure and the document is similar to the other ones so I dont understand why this is failing 😞

Any help please...???

Moved to InDesign Scripting...

Huh, it's good to see my script still circulates.

The issue is not the script, but what you are trying to import (eg one of the links you are trying to relink is corrupted)

[Dinafanoe]

Yes Vamitul – you are officially my hero :-)....

Good to hear the reason why. Any way to make the script continue the relinking and just ignore the ones it couldnt relink??

[Vamitul]

replace the line that says:

links.relink(newFile);

with

try {
   links.relink(newFile);
} catch (e) {
   alert(e);
}
