Which Page/Pages are selected in the Pages Window

[_Robert_Doyle_]

Is there a way to figure out which pages are selected in the pages window? Kinda like object.selectedPages.item.pagenumber?

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

No. None of the panels have a 'selected' attribute, and in general you are unable to determine it otherwise.

(The few exceptions I can think of are the Layer panel ("activeLayer") and Preflight ("activeProcess"), and Character, Paragraph, and Object styles -- these only when there is nothing selected. (And when you *have* something selected, their selection always equals that property of the currently selected object.))

There is a PagesPanel object, but there's no selectedPages property...

Dirk might have a plugin which can tell you what's selected, but I don't remember for sure...

Dirk does have such a plug-in.

Yup.

I just do not advertise it because the functionality is incomplete - you can only read the selected entities of the various panels, but can't select e.g. another page/swatch/etc. Besides my activation mechanism is a pain, asking for a rewrite whenever I find the time.

Even worse, I just realised my webserver is down so I can't point you to a demo download.
