Awesome stuff!

I see you're putting those omv files I sent you to good use...

Report · Apr 29, 2012

Yeah, well, last time 'round it seemed those little changes were only dripping in one at a time. I thought, why not get a comprehensive list right from the start.

One that is sure to bite some scripters is this. In CS5.5, you could get a list of labels:

extractLabel ([key: string])

Gets the label value associated with the specified key. If key string is null, then a list of key-value pairs associated with the item is returned.

.. and now, you can no longer do that for a range of objects!!

extractLabel (key: string)

Gets the label value associated with the specified key.

See? No longer "Optional"! See the list above for objects that no longer support this.

Thanks a lot

No time to dig further but I also noticed two additions in the CS6 scriptui.xml prerelease file:

1) The EditText creation properties now include wantReturn, which only applies to multiple line edit controls in ScriptUI Version 6.0 or later. When true the RETURN/ENTER keystroke is considered as text-input advancing the cursor to the next line. The default value is false.

2) Also, the ListBox.columns property has a new inner parameter, visible, described as an array of boolean visible attributes, whose length matches the number of columns specified at creation. This property can be used to show/hide a column. Avaiblable in ScriptUI Version 6.0 or later provided ScriptUI.frameworkName == 'Flex'.

What puzzles me a lot is the condition: ScriptUI.frameworkName == 'Flex'

Is this documented in the final release?

I don't have recentversions of ScriptUI -- and, come to that, neither of the JS Base Classes. So these are for now the same as they were for CS5. I'll update these when I can.

A puzzling change in the JS base I encountered were Dictionary and XMLList, both only appearing in just one vsn (perhaps even as far back as CS3 -- I didn't check).

ScriptUI has been based on Flash starting from CS5. That probably has something to do with the "ScriptUI.frameworkName == 'Flex'". AFAIK, that's not something that's changeable.

Which is the same behavior as in InDesign CS4.

C'mon, Adobe, change that back again to the CS5 and CS5.5 behavior…

FWIW, I believe the original choice was made in the interests of a basic level of data privacy -- you couldn't get the value for a key without knowing the key. Not water-tight, but also not without its virtues.

For all those scripters whom this might bite. Harbs wrote this wonderful piece of code for me a while back which does exactly what obj.extractLabel() would do without using it! It's fantastic.

var vals = GetValuePairs(obj);
for(var x in vals)
{
          myString+= x + " => " + vals+"\n";
}
alert(myString)
function GetValuePairs(obj){
          var file = File(Folder.temp + "/temp.idms");
          obj.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_SNIPPET,file);
          file.open('r');
          var contents = file.read();
          file.close();
          var contXML = XML(contents);
          var vals = {}
          for each(var pair in contXML..KeyValuePair){
                    vals[pair.@Key] = pair.@Value;
          }
          return vals;
}

So, these and some of the others are because the DPS plugin was installed in your CS5.5 installation, and not because of changes to the CS6 DOM. I found it more useful to compare the 8.0$7.5 file with the 8.0$8.0 file. (I did a manual comparison of 8.0$7.5 with 7.5$7.5 first to be safe!).

I thought so.

might get in here, too…
That are enumerations for DPS belonging to articles (MiniFolios) without the fixed page 4:3 ratio.

As well as all (?) removed methods:

With "Application.rasterizeDocumentPage()" and "Application.areFilePathsEquivalent()" I'm not sure…
