Yes, I know that I can open old indd in higher versions 🙂
My problem: I have tons of Indesign 15 files and if I open them with ID20, I have to resave them (and restore the color-marks at the finder) and this will cost me a lot of time. Does anybody know a solution for this problem?
Thanks

I assign this AppleScript the Command-S key command—it saves over a converted file without a prompt:

tell application id "com.adobe.indesign"
	tell active document
		--get the file's path and name
		try
			set filepath to file path & name as string
		end try
		--if it has been converted save to the same path with no dialog, otherwise save
		if converted is true then
			save to filepath
		else
			save
		end if
	end tell
end tell
