Haven't been able to get it working. (OSx, VSC 1.33.1, 1.0.1 plugin) Uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin 1) The setup instructions don't work -- when I click the plugin gear I get { // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes. // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes. // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387 "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "node", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch Program", "program": "${file}" } ] } Which is not what the instructions say should be there. I replace that with the contents from the install instruction == try to run -- and get Can’t start a session without an active target and engine. Select an active target and engine before trying again. I add "targetSpecifier": "inDesign-14.0-ME", "engineName":"main", and it starts ID And gives an error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'label' of undefined I've been running scripts from inside ID and getting the $.writeln output in the ESTK for now -- but want to get it working.

Is there someway to have a script's $.writeln output show up in VS Code instead of the ESTK? Thanks

Making the switch to VSCode -- the editor is much better than the toolkit (IMO) One thing I haven't figured out -- how to redirect $.writeln from ID to VSCode? Anyone managed? Or seen instructions how to do it? TIA

Thanks -- that worked. If you figure out why the change was needed I'd like to know for the future.

SUBHEAD (with Sub paragraph style) multiple text paragraphs with note numbers interspersed. The note numbers have a "fr" character style SUBHEAD TWO (with Sub pStyle) I need to select the text between the two Subheads -- find the note numbers -- and renumber them starting from 1. The script above returns the text between the two subheads (mySection) -- alert(mySection.contents) shows the proper text IF fns (in the line before last of the script) was an array of the grep results I could step through it and change the numbers. But it isn't.

I'm trying to run a grep on all the text between two subheads -- I can get the range (mySection) but range.findGrep() returns garbage? code below alert(fns) pops up a list of [object TextStyleRange - 10 or more alert(fns.length) pops up 1 Any suggestions? (I suspect it's something simple) Thanks ===== var startRenumbering="Sub"; sel = app.selection[0]; app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat="\r"; app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle=startRenumbering; var x = sel.parentStory.findGrep(); for(section=0;section<x.length-1;section++){ mySection=sel.parentStory.characters.itemByRange(x[section].index, x[section+1].index); app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing; app.findGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle="fr"; // app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo="fnNum"; var fns = mySection.findGrep(); alert(fns.length); }

Is the QR code API documented anywhere? I need to 1) detect the QR codes on a page that might have other EPS images; 2) modify existing QR codes by changing the URL 3) remove QR codes that are no longer valid. Any help or pointers to docs appreciated

With scripting you can get 99% of it right...

A client wants to post copies of text from his books on his website as reference pages. I've solved the problem (partially) by putting the entire page code inside a new DIV and scaling that DIV by 2 Doubles the size. Now I need to dynamically figure out the scaling so it fills the width of a smartphone/tablet

It's a full sized page in ID - the PDF is full size -- but the HTML page is 612 pixels wide. Is there some easy way to tell ID to make it larger? (It I edit the CSS of the container and change scale to 2 instead of 1 the page doubles in size -- but images are in the wrong position) Thanks

technically, hebrew doesn't use the standard straight single/double quotes -- it uses two specific characters (geresh/gershayim) found in TYPE -> Special ME Characters.

I'm working on a plugin for the Elgato Stream Deck to allow running scripts by name from their external key pad. (instead of making shortcuts) The alternative to using doScript is writing a startup script that opens a socket between the deck and indesign...

I'm on a Mac. It creates the palette on top -- but as soon as I click on inDesign it moves behind. I'm guessing it's not registering with ID's window manager properly.

The exact same script -- run from inside ID the palette floats on top as expected. launched from the command line --using p=app.scriptPreferences.scriptsFolder; var argArray = [0, 0]; var myFile = new File(p+"/AddScript.jsx"); if (myFile.exists) { try{ app.doScript(myFile, ScriptLanguage.javascript, argArray); }catch(e){alert(e);} } else { alert ("does not exist"); } the palette created in AddScript.jsx appears BEHIND InDesign. I assumed app.doScript would be run by ID, not the ASTK -- is this assumption wrong?

You need a "Adobe Scripts" folder in the Folder.myDocuments location -- that's the trusted folder.

I know. I want to be able to run the script from the command line -- so I need the #target. (the alert was just to test the #target) My problem is that is DOESN'T. It wants to open CS6 And every time I open the toolkit now it gives me the same error

When I run the following script from the toolkit (4.0.0.1) #target indesign alert("Hello"); I get the following error: "Adobe Indesign CS6 (8.0) must be running to retrieve Object Model data. Do you want to launch Abobe Indesign CS6?" I have ID 2018 open. (ME edition -- but that shouldn't make a difference) Changing the target to indesign-13.1 gives me the error "indesign-13.1" is undefined! Any ideas?
