inDesign Script Live Rendering

[pedron47768873]

When running a script, in some computers, it is possible to see the script rendering live (as it can be seen here using Basil.js: https://vimeo.com/78713219​); In others, inDesign just freezes until the script is done, showing only the final outcome.

So far I couldn't find a pattern to understand where this setting comes from (it worked — and failed — both in CS5 < ... > CC2018, from MacOs 10.9 to 10.11);

Does anyone know if there is any function to turn on/off this live rendering preview, or at least which factors make it work in some computers while not in others?

You could try at the beginning of the script:

app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = true;

Thanks Stefan

Stefan,

Unfortunately still doesn't work. Maybe is there a way to force this?

Thanks.
