Scripts

.
Na een tijdje veel DPS nieuws weer eens even wat voor iedere InDesign gebruiker. Wat van mijn favoriete handige scripts van de laatste tijd. Eentje daarvan maakt het mogelijk om oudere scripts die alleen werken op CS4 (en soms CS3) toch te gebruiken in CS5.5. Van onze bekende Martinho en je vindt het script hier.

En een hele mooie vind ik een scriptie om in één keer het pad naar afbeeldingen te updaten: vooral handig voor diegenen die een server-wissel hebben gehad.


Pad-updater script code:
Het recept: kopieer de code hieronder, plak in een platte teksteditor en bewaar met de extensie jsx
