JS CS3 Relink image to new path
I've put a script together that resizes images in a doc. What I've been able to do is rename the resized image and then relink to the renamed images. I'd like to be able to have all the resized images saved into the folder using the doc name which is not hard. What I am finding difficult is setting the path to that folder for the relink.
for example:
var myLinks = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
var myFpath = myLinks[0].itemLink.filePath
var myFname = myLinks[0].itemLink.name
$.write(myFpath.replace(myFname,app.activeDocument.name+"/"+myFname) +"\r");
returns C:\hold\Untitled-1/file_24791_Scaled.tif
if I try and change +"/"+ to +"\"+ the remaining code is commented out I've also tried "/\/" which returned //
should I try using replace to return /C/hold/Untitled-1/file_24791_Scaled.tif which should work on both PC and Mac?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers, John.
Thanks to Kasyan's LinkUsage function I was able to put this script together.
The script is set to look for Tiff and PSD files that are scaled at less then 99%. It will rename the file a version and update the indesign document with that version.
So if you have a doc with Ducky.tif duplicated 3 times in the link panel you will see 3 instances of Ducky.tif. After running the script you will find that in the folder that holds the indd doc a folder named the same as the indd doc is created and within it will be Ducky_3.tif and Ducky_2.tiff. The script will also relink to these new versions of the file.
This script could be changes to allow other types of files but for some reason I've found that if I open a JPG using the PhotoShop script the save dialog opens in Photoshop require user to ok it. I do not seem to get the same issues with Tiff and PSD files. If there is something I'm doing wrong please let me know.
var myDocName = app.activeDocument.name.split(".")[0];
var myDocPath = app.activeDocument.filePath+"/"+app.activeDocument.name.split (".")[0]+"/";
var myLinks = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
for ( var r = myLinks.length-1; r >= 0; r-- ){
if(myLinks[r].itemLink.parent.absoluteHorizontalScale < 99 && (myLinks[r].itemLink.linkType == 'TIFF' || myLinks[r].itemLink.linkType == 'Photoshop')){
if(LinkUsage(myLinks[r].itemLink)>1){
var verFName = myLinks[r].itemLink.name.split (".")[0];
var verNum = LinkUsage(myLinks[r].itemLink)
VersionInPS( myLinks[r].itemLink.filePath, myDocPath, verNum);
if (File.fs == "Windows") {
var aVerFolder = myDocPath + verFName +"_"+verNum+".tif";
else if (File.fs == "Macintosh") {
var aVerFolder = myDocPath + verFName+"_"+verNum+".tiff";
myLinks[r].itemLink.relink( File(aVerFolder));
for ( var u = myLinks.length-1; u >= 0; u-- ){
myLinks[u].itemLink.update();
function VersionInPS(myPath, myDocPath, myVersion) {
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
bt.target = "photoshop";
var myScript = 'try {\n';

RELINKING IMAGES MANUALLY IN INDESIGN DOESN'T WORK
Hello,
Please help,
I am opening an Indesign CS3 EPS image file in Indesign CS4 which is made by combining 2 Clipping path images. The problem is: I am not ablt to use the images manually. however, automatic relink works fine. Although I don't know where that option is. I just want to use manual relink.
any suggestions??
thanks
RachaelI've seen cases where this "Mini Save"/ "Automatic Recovery" did not work at all.
Rare cases, but:
Always when the InDesign file is opened on a different computer and you are working on a network. And someone pulls the plug from that other computer (shutting it down, ignoring the messages that another machine is hooked)!
SO: I would never rely or bet on the otherwise fabulous feature "Mini Save"/ "Automatic Recovery".
There is a startup script around in the web by Martin Fischer somewhere on the site hilfdirselbst.ch, that saves a copy of the actual file in a special folder every time you do a "save" or "cmd + s" adding a continous number to the auto saved file name.

Lightroom 2.2 can't file files at new path
I recently changed the path where all my images are located. Do I have to go through each folder one at a time and point them to the location of every folder within the new path? This will take forever.
For example:
OLD PATH s:\images\...
NEW PATH s:\Pictures\...
Is there no automated way for Lightroom to pick up the new path or a place for me to set it???
Thanks,

My external HDD failed. It had two volumes, one TimeMachine, the second for general use including my ITunes Library. It also had a clone of my old eMac on it.
it's not a good idea to keep things this way. the data on the data partition is not really backed up. when something happens to the drive just as it did to you you loose everything: TM backups and the data partition. in the future I suggest you keep one drive just for TM and back up everything to it. then you'll have a true backup and won't have to deal with issues as the one you are facing now.
When the external drive failed I managed to successfully copy the second volume over to a Rescue folder on my iMac's internal HDD with no trouble. All 140gb of it.
you should have copied it to a separate partition. that would make things easier.
I now have a new external HDD and I have just tried to MOVE the rescue folder back over to it. However the MOVE fails with the message *'You don't the right privileges for 'System Preferences.app'*. This is but one of the files in the rescue folder and is in a clone of my eMac;s HDD (this computer is currently being repaired by Apple).
Two questions-
1) Is is possible to globally override the above (like when Trashing files) so that the move does not fail again; and
I have located the file 'System Preferences.app' using Finder and have unlocked it and changed its permissions to both read as 'Read/Write". Hopefully this wil stop this.
this might work. if it doesn't you'll need to do it from terminal.
However -
2) The iMac moved about 4.5 gb data back to the external HDD before it got stuck, as the data was being moved, not copied, will this be lost if I delete this 4GB and start again?
why did you move instead of copy?! this is asking for trouble. check to see if the copied data is still present in the original folder. -
Mac OSX, 10.7.5, LR 5.6 After creating a new folder in the Destination section and importing images, the new folder name appears as 2010, no matter what name I give it. Why is it doing this?
I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash. -

Clicking "open image in new window" on a jpeg downloads the image
If I click on "open image in new window" or paste an image address directly in as the url, Safari sometimes downloads that image and sometimes displays the image directly in the browser.
Why? I'd like to always have it display directly in the browser.
eg:
1) this image is displayed in the browser
http://images.apple.com/home/2008/images/promoleopard20080108.jpg
2) this image is downloaded
http://image.wink.com/i/d60210c3_d2lua19wcm9maWxlOmRjODM3YjIxN2E2NDVkMjQ2MDAyYmRjY2JlODIxZGIy_96f96ffffff00.jpgHi,
At a total guess, the webserver at image.wink.com is incorrectly identifying the images as something other than an image file. If they claim it's a binary file for example, then Safari will treat it like any other file you would normally wish to download. -
Reference Images in Relative Path
Captivate 2 allows you to export the background images out
and then link them in so it is easier to update the images, but the
paths seem like they have to be absolute only. Is there a way to
use relative paths instead of the absolute path? I have several
projects that need to be localized into different languages and
this is one of the things that is not allowing us to effectively
use Captivate 2 for the project. Any help would be greatly
appreciative.Hi again Hyp30
Okay, I have to ask you (and others) for a huge favor here.
You have hit upon something I strongly feel should be part of the
next version of Captivate. That typing layer. You are absolutely
correct that this item cannot be changed. Not only that, but if you
make a typo, Captivate also records that! Sooo, in my not so humble
opinion, what would be
MUCH more useful to us is if the developers created a very
basic and very simple text animation we could use. Simple typing
text. Notice all the animations we have. 88 of those puppies I
think! Why we have fish nibbling characters away, letters flying
here and there. Yet no simple typing text. If that were available,
we could forego the typing layer and simply use an animation.
So, if anyone else feels as strongly about this as I do,
please submit a request by
clicking
here. I suggest this because until the development team hears
from enough folks, it's not likely to happen.
Now, for a suggestion. I'm not sure I'd simply reuse the same
movie for different localizations. If it were me, I'd maybe have a
project folder where the projects are stored. Then a folder for
each main project. Then I'd click File > Save As and have
multiple flavors of each project so I could keep the localizations
separated.
Cheers... Rick -
Display Image from Local path "c:\image.gif"

Is there anyway to display an image from local path i.e "c:\img.jpg".

Indesign cs5.5 Applescript - Relink image
Hi, currently we can relink images from our applescript by using the original image link name but looking to see if we can do if by script label name. Is this possible. Thanks, Joe
You can't use a script label to perform a relink, but is that what you're really asking? Or are you trying to use the script label to identify the linked item you want to relink?

i have multiple images i want to place on a cruved path. how can i go about doing this?
cheers,I would draw the path and then turn on Smart Guides (CMD+U) to snap a particular point on the images along the path. See my attached screenshot. I did this with rectangles, but you could also use placed images. Then just delete the curved line when you are done using it for placement.
