Using the Links panel | Visual Design CS4 | Adobe TV

Customize the Links panel to suit your needs. Add the categories you want and then sort the links by category.

Excellent video. I am always watching Scale factor at links panel whenever scaling images because sometimes can happen to forget to hold Shift while scaling images. Two different scaling percentages means something wrong and image is distorted.

Images aren't being displayed in the links panel

I am trying to locate the source file for images in an InDesign CS6 document, so that I can use them within another project (Muse). I had planned to use the links panel to see the path for each image. However, only a few of my graphics/images are being displayed in the links panel. Most images are not showing up at all (I would expect them to show as 'missing' in the links panel if they had been moved or deleted). How can InDesign display the image in InDesign but not recognize the image as an asset in the Links panel? Could this be due to the way the image was imported? If so is there any way to export the image or save the image out of InDesign?
Help!

Did you put those images into the ID document? Did someone else?
Is it possible that someone copied and pasted those images from Photoshop (or another application) into ID. If so, that's the problem.
I'm not too sure you can retrieve the images at their proper resolutions, though.

Links do not appear in links panel in inDesign CS4

I don't recall when this happened but I no longer have any links in the Links Panel in inDesign CS4 in ANY of my documents old, new, it doesn't matter. If I package a file it gathers all the links if I need to update a link I have to go to the original link outside of inDesign to find it. I have found other problems like this in other forums but have not been successful with the solutions.
Can anyone please please help me with this??
Thanks

Replace Your Preferences

Art used in ID documents used to display in the links panel. Now links is empty.

Photoshop art used in ID documents used to display in the links panel in IN_CS6 on a mac. Now links is empty.
Where did the links list go???

Are you sure the art is linked and not pasted? Can you select it, right click and choose edit original? If you can and the links panel is empty you probably need to trash the prefs: Replace Your Preferences

Is it secure to have the pulic open a resource guide in Adobe Reader? Or is there a way to make sure anyone using the link to the guide is secure?

Is it secure to have the public open a resource guide in an Adobe Reader PDF? Or is there a way to make sure anyone using the link to the guide is protected?
Not sure how to find an answer to this.
Thanks, GM

I am trying to post a 123 page resource guide online for the public to access through the website of a non profit. The guide has a lot of web links for to use for more information. But there have been clickability issues when using some browsers to download the PDF and so I would prefer to suggest that they try to download the resource into Adobe Reader before using. I want to make sure that this would securely safe for readers and users.
Sorry I was not clear in my original question and thank you for your kind attention.
Thank you again,

When I click "Edit Original" in the links panel it opens MICROSOFT PAINT!

When I click "Edit Original" with a jpeg selected in the links panel it opens Microsoft Paint! In Windows (7) the file association is Windows Picture Viewer (NOT Paint!) and in Bridge it is associated with Photoshop CC. In InDesign we have the option of choosing which program to edit linked files with. In Illustrator we are stuck with the astounding Paint! Why?? 17 versions and this still bugs me!

Thanks Mylenium.
I know how to change the default program associated with an extension (I would like to keep picture viewer as the default open option for JPG) but I don't know how I change the EDIT association (currently Paint for JPG) in Win 7.
And it would be much more useful if AI could just give us the option of setting defaults (as Bridge does) OR AI could just use Bridge's defaults OR give us an "Open with" option as in Indesign. So many possible solutions, I've feature-requested this on occasions since CS1, it works in other Adobe apps, so I can only think Adobe is wilfully ignoring this issue for Irritator.

Any way to export several columns from the Links panel?

This was originally posted to the InDesign forum, was suggested there might be a script that could achieve this?
Working on a textbook with hundreds of illustrations. Each Chapter has up to 100. Need to get several columns of data (file name and page # that it appears on) exported from the Links Panel (in sorted order) so they can be dropped into a spreadsheet. I am using TextWrangler which will dump out all the filenames in a folder, but it sorts alphabetically and I really want them sorted by the Page Numbers where they appear.

This script creates a CSV file on the desktop that you can import in Excel. The file name is the same as the name of active indesign document.
Kasyan
var scriptName = "Generate list of links";
if (app.documents.length == 0) ErrorExit("No documents are open. Please open a document and try again.");
var page, allGraphics, graphic;
var text = "File name;Page\r";
var doc = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < doc.pages.length; i++) {
     page = doc.pages[i];
     allGraphics = page.allGraphics;
     for (var k = 0; k < allGraphics.length; k++) {
          graphic = allGraphics[k];
          if (graphic.itemLink != null) {
               text += graphic.itemLink.name + ";" + page.name +"\r";
WriteToFile(text);
//-------------------------------------- FUNCTIONS ---------------------------------------------
function WriteToFile(text) {
     var theFile = new File("~/Desktop/" + GetFileNameOnly(doc.name) + ".csv");
     theFile.open("w");
     theFile.write(text);
     theFile.close();
function ErrorExit(error, icon) {
     alert(error, scriptName, icon);
     exit();
function GetFileNameOnly(myFileName) {
     var myString = "";
     var myResult = myFileName.lastIndexOf(".");
     if (myResult == -1) {
          myString = myFileName;
     else {
          myString = myFileName.substr(0, myResult);
     return myString;

Cannot separate images from the link panel

Is there possibility to use the front panel without installing Labview?

Hallo,
i have two small questions:
1- Is it possible to use the front panel of a labview software without needing to install Labview itself? i mean something similar to the "power point viewer" which can view the Power Point files without installing the microsoft office.
2- In an intensity Graph, how can one change the color?
thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Regarding your questions
1)You need to have Labview and Application builder installed on your machine. If you have that you can make an stand alone application (EXE) and then you can deploy it on systems that does not have LabView and can view it, However you will not be able to see the block diagram.
Here is a link that explains how to do so
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361A-01/lvhowto/exe_ex/
2) You can either do it by using propery node or marker method. The following link explains it

Hope it helps.

JS for images selected in the LINKS panel

Hi, anyone knows of a JS to get the images properties e.g.name as selected (highlighted) in the LINKS Panel?
Thank you.

If there is exactly one link selected, then you can use this technique to find out about the link:
try {app.menuActions.item("Go To Link").invoke(); } catch(e) {};
That will select the linked item and so you can then examine the selection to get the information you want.
If you're using a non-English version of InDesign, you'll need to localize that string.

How do I delete a link in the link panel?

I have moved an item out of the links folder on a project I am working on in IDCC and when opening the project it tells me, rightly, that a link is missing. When I go to the links panel I see the alert that the linked item is missing, which I know, and I want to delete the link in the links panel but see no option to do this, also the delete key does nothing when the item is highlighted, and right-click (^ click) offer no delete choice either. How can I delete this item in the links panel?
TIA,
Ken

Amazing how the hot weather has affected me. Thank You Peter - so logical - I missed it while thinking of 15 other elements and a hurried deadline...
