image preview -- reduce image placement time

[kakyan]

When I place the images via script its taking time for image preview generation.

How to turn off preview generation.  Is this possible to generate the image preview using image meta data.

Hi,

look into:

app.displayPerformancePreferences.defaultDisplaySettings = ViewDisplaySettings.OPTIMIZED

( also other parameters )

app.displaySettings.raster = TagRaster.GRAY_OUT

app.displaySettings.transparency = TagTransparency.OFF

app.displaySettings.vector = TagVector.GRAY_OUT

That should postpone preview generation while placing images.

Make also sure that the view is set to Normal and not Overprint Preview.

You'll find that in the layoutWindow properties.

Uwe
