I was very careful to only delete those two menu's. I am way to afraid to play around with that script.

One quick question. More for just making it look cleaner can i put those in rows? Again this script is exactly what i wanted and works great now. I'm just trying to make it as easy to read as possible. Thank you again for all your work on this.

Will changing app.userName. false to true fix this? I'm not on my workplace now so I cannot test it

Ok i tested it today. It did not work for saving from the other computers here. It only showed my Indesign User name and does not display there's when the file is saved. After i opened it on the other computer saved it . and opened it back on mine it kept my name the whole time. So its close just not working for me all the way yet.

I found this if there is a newer way let me know. I may have questions if this gives me errors. //=============================Script Start =============================// var mySampleScriptAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("First Script"); var myEventListener = mySampleScriptAction.eventListeners.add("onInvoke", function(){alert("This menu item was added by a script.");}); //If the submenu "Script Menu Action" does not already exist, create it. try{ var mySampleScriptMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.item("NewMenu"); mySampleScriptMenu.title; } catch (myError){ var mySampleScriptMenu = app.menus.item("$ID/Main").submenus.add("New Menu"); } var mySampleScriptMenuItem = mySampleScriptMenu.menuItems.add(mySampleScriptAction); //============================== Script End ===============================// Thanks & Regards T.R.Harihara Sudhan

Is there a way to get my Script to autoload and be placed in the menu's where the plugin's are found? maybe right before the help menu. I have a markzware plugin that is in the menu's and i just click on that and go from there. It would be nice to have this script up there too. Is there a way to make this happen?

Is there a way i can keep this with the Indesign User name? Everytime i change it to My name or Other people's names it does not keep the saved settings When i shut down and start up indesign again it goes back to the default Computer user name. I'm selecting the User Name variable at the bottom of the list. I have checked my Indesign user name just to be sure i have it set and it is.

Ok i'll test it out on the other computers when they leave for the night so that way i can see if it does what i'm needing. If so i'll mark this correct. Thanks either way though. this is a great script.

Here's what i'm wanting the end result to be. I want the <My NAME HERE> to be replaced with the Indesign USER name. I have the date being set by a text variable. Thanks to some help from Jeffrey_Smith on the Indesign form. Peter Spier and Laubender suggested i see about a script to fill in the Name part. If i need to i can create a custom Text variable on each computer and have the script get the Custom Variable(probably called NAME) and place it in the "My name here" Part as soon as the Save button is pressed.

I'm trying to add a user name to a box so whom ever saves the file last it will place there name in the box as you press the save button. I will post the code i'm thinking of using below. as well as a pic to show what i'm wanting. #targetengine "myUniqueName" // Add an event listener for the event "beforeSave" that is executing a function app.addEventListener ( /* the event you are listening to: | as String */ "beforeSave" , /* the function that is called when found: */ doTextFrameOnPageOne ); function doTextFrameOnPageOne() { /*IS THIS WHERE I SHOULD PLACE THE CODE BELOW?*/ // Here will start your code, that is: // 1. Looking for the user name // 2. Check, if the text frame you want to create is already there // 3. Adds the user name, the current date and some other information // 4. Tells the document where to exactly put the text frame, its dimensions and other properties // Test the function: alert("Event \"beforeSave\" just fired."); }; // SHOULD THIS CODE GO IN THE FUNCTION BRACKETS above? var myString = 'Hallo InDesign ' + app.version + ', I am ' + getUser() + '.'; alert ( myString ); function getUser() { var myUser = ($.os.substring(0, 7)=="Windows") // I'M USING A MAC SO DO I JUST REPLACE "Windows" with "MAC". ALSO I WOULD LIKE IT TO GRAB THE USER NAME FROM INDESIGN NOT THE COMPUTER*IF POSSIBLE* ? $.getenv("USERNAME") : $.getenv("USER"); return myUser; }

Also why does this not show when a change is made to an image? it keeps saying there's changes to text. Not a big deal but just wondering. Because in my thinking the app.documents.everyItem() should track everything and display anything that has been changed. am i wrong on how i'm thinking on this>

Below is the script i'm using var myChanges = app.documents.everyItem().stories.everyItem().changes; var myString = ''; for (var i=0; i<myChanges.length; i++) { var myChange = myChanges; myString += myChange.userName + '\t'; myString += myChange.date + '\t'; myString += myChange.changeType + '\n'; } alert(myString);

am i on the right path? I turned off the lower radio buttons to give me more room to play with. radioButton = Pan1.add ('radioButton {text: "Pic1"}') Image.prototype.onDraw =function(){ if(!this.image )return; var WH =this.size,wh =this.image.size,k = Math.min(WH[0]/wh[0], WH[1]/wh[1]), xy; wh =[k*wh[0],k*wh[1]]; xy =[(WH[0]-wh[0])/2, (WH[1]-wh[1])/2 ]; this.graphics.drawImage(this.image,xy[0],xy[1],wh[0],wh[1]); WH = wh = xy =null;} flower=w.tabs[2].add ("image", undefined, File ("~/\Desktop/\xxx.jpg")); flower.size =[300,300]; /* Pan1.add('radioButton {text: "B2. Enter Here2"}'); Pan1.add('radioButton {text: "B3. Enter Here3"}'); Pan1.add('radioButton {text: "B4. Enter Here4"}'); Pan1.add('radioButton {text: "B1. Enter Here5"}'); Pan1.add('radioButton {text: "B2. Enter Here6"}'); Pan1.add('radioButton {text: "B3. Enter Here7"}'); Pan1.add('radioButton {text: "B4. Enter Here8"}'); */
