What's new in 23.7.18
Cleanup
- DefaultPrefs:
- The default text wrap mode is now off.
- Removed color profile settings.
- DocCleanup:
- Empty frames from '.guides' are protected from deletion.
- Added '.segmentation' to 'Show/hide layers' list.
- Added DumpLinks: Saves document's links to a TSV file compatible with ReplaceLinks.
- ReplaceLinks: Improved reports (shown when run with Ctrl key pressed).
- ReplaceSnippets: Find/Change settings are now cleared when script finishes.
- SwatchesCleanup: Moved deletion of unused swatches as the last step.
Fit
- TextAutosize: Fixed a bug that in certain circumstances reverted a frame's auto-sizing to height-only.
Export
- QuickExport:
- Major UI refactoring: most of the common options have been moved to workflows to make them more independent (in the future it will be possible to create presets).
- Added an option to create Acrobat layers.
- Added an option to exclude any layer beginning with '.' or '-' (do-not-print layers). You can also add a custom layer list or use the default one.
- Added an option to automatically upgrade documents from previous versions of InDesign.
hack
There is a hack that automatically appends the names of technical layers like 'dielines,' 'varnish,' etc., to the suffix; unfortunately it used to add them even if the layers were not actually exported. Fixed.- If you keep the Opt/Alt key pressed while clicking Start, the script will run without saving the settings.
- Hide/ShowDNPLayers, PrepareForExport: Tweaked the internal list of do-not-print layers.
- PrepareForExport: No longer creates an 'info' layer if not actually needed.
View
- TileAll: Documents with square formats will use the generic Window ‣ Arrange ‣ Tile.
Misc
-
EAN: The code will be inserted into all selected objects.
-
LabelPageRatios: Now both outer (visible area, or page size if undefined) and inner ratios (margins) will be marked.
Other
- Added a dot prefix to do-not-print layers (e.g., '.visible area').
- Replaced layer 'ID' with 'info' to simplify layer management.
- Increased stroke width when marking the visible area for large visuals.
- Improved feedback when the current document doesn't have a valid path.
- Added
MasterSpread
as a valid parent, thus scripts also work on the parent/master pages.
