How can I use a script to get the version number and year of the currently open InDesign?

[dublove]

C:\Users\dublove\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 19.0-J\zh_CN\Find-Change Queries\Text
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign 2024\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples

Here only “Version 19.0-J” and “Adobe InDesign 2024” are changing.

It would be good to get the version number of the currently open version.

I've seen a posting that gets the version number, but it seems to be all installed versions.

Thank you.

Suggestion from Peter doesn't work / isn't enough for you?

How do I get the version number of the current open, and 2024?

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

Have you checked link I've provided? 

[dublove]

You provided the same link I was talking about.

I just want 19

and 2024

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign 2024\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples

The script for this path, is this correct?

var appFolder = Folder.startup;
var scriptPath=appFolder+"/"+"Scripts"+"/"+"Script%20Panel"+"/"+"Samples"+"/";
alert(scriptPath);

Awesome ......

How to get the path of the regular?
C:\Users\adm\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 19.0-J\zh_CN\Find-Change Queries\Text

There are also shortcuts stored in the path
C:\Users\adm\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 19.0-J\zh_CN\InDesign Shortcut Sets

Workspace Path
C:\Users\adm\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 19.0-J\zh_CN\Workspaces

PDF Export Template Path
C:\Users\adm\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings

Thank you.

I saw this.
alert(app.scriptPreferences.version);
Returns 19.5

Maybe there's no way to get “Version 19.0-J” directly.

Why do you want to know - from within currently run version - what other versions are installed? 

[dublove]

I don't want to talk about other versions, I just want to know some paths to the current version.

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

I'm pretty sure, that path to scripts panel should return "19.0-J" - as long as you're running your script from this version. 

[dublove]

yea
It should all be reachable now.
The PDF Export Template Path is unchanged.

Next, how to find
Whether the scripts'filename  contain  [Ctrl+Alt+W]  that the directory by "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign 2024\Scripts\Scripts Panel\Samples\JS.lnk" pointed to .

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

That is rather defined in the preferences - keyboard shortcuts file.

[dublove]

I want to read the script's name(Vertion【Ctrl+Alt+Q】.jsx) .

If it contains【.+】 , and then go and modify the keyboard shortcuts file(ID_shortcut_CC.indk).

	<shortcut>
		<action-id value="0xff000000 + 54" name="脚本:应用程序:Samples:JST.lnk:Vertion【Ctrl+Alt+Q】.jsx"></action-id>
		<context>DefaultContext</context>
		<string>Ctrl+Alt+Q</string>
	</shortcut>

What's 54 here, the 54th script? What's the order of precedence it's based on?

I counted, and I only have 47 scripts, too.
That's strange.

[dublove]

I learned.

It's so not easy.

alert(

app.scriptPreferences.scriptsFolder.parent.parent);
