Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I needed !
I've adapted this script, which worked perfectly on most of my documents, just removing the dialogue box because I don't need to have a prefix, just simply rename images.
However, I have one case that is not handled by this script (even before I adapted it),
The platform I'm using removes certain special characters directly from image names, such as ®, ©, TM.
As a result, the image name looks like this: _49A7164Jacques Mezger-sRGB
And Indesign shows me a missing link because it has the name: _49A7164©Jacques Mezger-sRGB
The script doesn't rename the image in question and therefore doesn't redo the link, my function
sanitizeFileName seems not to work..
Do you have a solution for this ?
Below the code i'm using for the script if it can help
var myPrefix, myISBN;
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myMultipleLinks = new Array();
var myLinksCounter = 0;
var myScriptName = "Batch rename and relink";
var myProcessedLinkNames = [];

ClearStructure();
Save();
