saving images in a specific folder

[laurent tourniel7664515]

Hi à la ligne

I use a script to convert all images to jpg format. This part of the script is OK.

var myDoc = app.activeDocument,
apis = myDoc.allPageItems, rect, fileName;

while ( rect = apis.pop() )
{
alert(rect.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath)
if ( !(rect instanceof Rectangle) || !rect.graphics[0].isValid ){ continue; }

fileName = File ( rect.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath ).name;
fileName = fileName.replace( /\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i, '.jpg' );

app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MEDIUM;

//make new folder
var f = new Folder("C:/Users/laure/Creative Cloud Files/SousLeSoleil_Livre/Links/Images/");
f.create();

//give it a unique name
var myFile = new File('C:/Users/laure/Creative Cloud Files/SousLeSoleil_Livre/Links/Images/' + fileName);

rect.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, myFile);

I have to specify the file path manualy (bold). 

I would like to save the jpg images in the a new folder (ex.: /images/) in the /Links/ folder anywhere the Package is save.

Is it possible to change this script to do this ?

Thanks for help.

Hello @laurent tourniel7664515,

Give this a try...

var myDoc = app.activeDocument,
apis = myDoc.allPageItems, rect, fileName;

while ( rect = apis.pop() )
{
// alert(rect.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath)
if ( !(rect instanceof Rectangle) || !rect.graphics[0].isValid ){ continue; }

fileName = File ( rect.graphics[0].itemLink.filePath ).name;
fileName = fileName.replace( /\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i, '.jpg' );

app.jpegExportPreferences.exportResolution = 300;
app.jpegExportPreferences.jpegQuality = JPEGOptionsQuality.MEDIUM;

//make new folder
var f = new Folder(myDoc.filePath + "/Links/Images/");
f.create();

//give it a unique name
var myFile = new File(f +'/' + fileName);

rect.exportFile(ExportFormat.JPG, myFile);
}

Regards,

Mike

Hi LT, The path to a packaged InDesign file’s Links folder would be:

var linkFolder = app.activeDocument.filePath + "/Links"

//add an Images folder
var f = new Folder(linkFolder + "/Images/");
f.create();
