If there were a panel that could store the locations I frequently access like a library panel?

If there were a panel that could store the locations I frequently access like a library panel, that would be great.

I want to implement it through a library, but it doesn't seem to work.

For example, these positions

01-Grep's position
0-The location of the script
03-The location of the workspace
04-Setting shortcut keys
05-And the location of my recent work directory

 

If these can be customized, modified, added, or deleted in one panel,

I can open it directly in the ID window without having to search for it for half a day every time.

Yes, that's it - you can download it and free version will pretty much do what you need - with one slight, temporary, problem - you can't save your "destinations" for later use - if they are very specific. 

 

But, if I'm correct and you just need access to a location of specific ParaStyle(s) occurrences - your Task would be pretty simple - I'm on my phone so will post it later today when I get to my laptop - but it will be just one or more "find text" queries. Then, double click on the found res

A general "Favorites" panel would indeed be a productivity and convenience asset. I don't see any big hurdles to it being implemented at a code level. Not sure if it can be done as a plugin/script/user-developed feature.

 

Posting this in the feature request forum might be more productive; we're just users here. 🙂

This website has broken my heart more than once.

It's too slow.

I can only see it spinning around there, sometimes there is no response for more than ten minutes.

Through scripting - piece of cake. 

 

Pages, Text, Objects, etc. can be marked as "destinations".

Hi~Robert Tkaczyk

What is this?

How to obtain it.

Is that this one?

Up to one script surface is sufficient

This looks so complicated.

Then, double click on the found results - will get you there instantly.

 

My tool may look complicated - but it really isn't. 

 

For starters - it gives you direct / instant access to the whole underbelly of the InDesign.

Then, Tasks are like Actions in Photoshop - unfortunately, without recording - you need to build Task manually. 

And Task - is just bunch of your manual operations - clicks you would have to do.

 

So once you build your Task - you can either use it on your current selection - or process whole document(s).

I have tried it, it's a bit complicated.

It's not necessary, I gave up decisively.

 

Lightweight can make more people like it.

I prefer flexible combinations instead of synthesizing complex bodies with many functions.

This interface is also a bit small.

Yeah, it's pretty much everyones opinion - until they really give it a go 😉

 

The fact that you've so many options - doesn't mean, that you need to use them all. 

 

It's the same as with InDesign itself - depends on how well you know it - you can just do a simple business / Xmas card - or do 1000 pages catalogue...

Or... I might have misread your (wish)list - but, most of the things - are already implemented anyway - all the menu options available in the InDesign - 2000+ - are already implemented.

 

The ones that would require navigating through your drive - can be added as well - but you would have to give me more details.
