Hi,
First of all thanks to anybody who helped me earlier! It is appreciated. I
am learning more and more.
Now to some more questions: I am trying to modify layer stacking order in
indesign but my method does not seem to work any ideas what's wrong?
My_layer -- is basically the name of one of my layers
Tell app "Indesign cs"
tell document 1
try
move my_Layer to top
end try
end tell
Then the 2nd script I am trying to do is to pick up a file that is one
directory up and one down i.e.
G5:myfolder1:german:file1.indd -- original path of indesign file
I am trying to have the path changed to
G5:myfolder1:Base:basefile1.indd -- new path based on above file name and
path
I was thinking of simply turning the path to a string each time and then
based on that modify it but is there also a command that just says go up one
folder. Just would like to know if this is possible otherwise I am just
going to modify it as text strings each time.
I also have run into the problem of Indesign truncating folderpaths and
imagenames that are longer than 31 characters my string scripts don't work
then as the files turn to i.e. Indd3E42X or something and I am not sure what
mathematical convention is used to truncate the file name, is that just
hexadecimal and if so does anybody have a handler that I could use to take
an "over 31 characters" string and truncate it according Adobes indesign CS
31-characters-convention?
Best, Patrik
