Hi Simon,
I can't answer your question definitively
but at a glance I'd probably change this bit:
if status of aLink is
not link missing then
if LinkList is {} then
set
LinkList to ((file path of aLink) as string) as
list
else
set
LinkList to LinkList & ((file path of aLink) as
string) as list
...
to
if status of aLink is
not link missing then
set end
of
LinkList to
((file path of
aLink) as
string)
...
And I'm not sure but you may not have
to coerce the path to a string and just use:
set end
of
LinkList to
(file path of
aLink)
Cheers,
Cojcolds

| Second Question about Links in active
InDesign Spread |
|
Shane Stanley kindly answered my question
about getting InDesign links in an active spread. I realized I have a second
part to the question – is there an easy way to get a list of the links
of an active spread whose status is “link missing”? Here’s my cumbersome
solution, but I sure it could be more elegant:
tell application "Adobe InDesign
CS2"
set LinkList to {}
set GraphicsLinks to (item
link of all graphics of active spread of layout window
1) as list
repeat with aLink in
GraphicsLinks
if status of aLink is
not link missing then
if LinkList is {} then
set LinkList to ((file path
of aLink) as string) as list
else
set LinkList to LinkList &
((file path of aLink) as string) as list
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
Original post with answer:

of all the links in the active spread

purpose of updating them.
set theLinks to (item link of
all graphics of active spread of layout window 1) as list
Thanks again,
Garry Simon
