EventListener for importing idms (place -> placegun)

[nilsh85014932]

this has come so far that i post to myself 🙂 ... 

my problem is that after importing IDMS files (to a placegun) I can not find the image's link attribute (LinkResourceURI) Anyone know in which object this can be found? (itemLink is eg null)

Am i in wrong forum, please forgive me if that is the case....  (and hace anyone a suggestion for better forum)

I'm writing a CEP extension....

Hi nilsh85014932,

I'm not into CEP extension, but I can try to answer the ExtendScript side of things.

Could be that the graphic in the IDMS file is not a placed and linked graphic, but just a bunch of pixels that once were copied from e.g. PhotoShop to an InDesign page before the frame was exported to IDMS.

In that case there is no valid itemLink of the graphic.

And therefore no linkResourceURI.

As far as DOM documentation for ExtendScript is concerned, at least for version 16.0, I can see that property linkResourceURI is only available for object link.
