1. batch open/close documents with script consumes lots of memory

   I have used the script to convert indesign files to idml or vice versa. It works as I expected.

   yet while I want to run another script during batch process to each file the memory which indesign consumes during process dramatically increasing.

   while normal batch process consumes at least 1GB for 100 document, with running script file with some process consumes at least 40-50GB RAM and It causes computer no to respond

3. FindChangeByList not working

   1 The script stopped working. Doesn’t do anything.

   2 Please let the updater copy the FindChangeList.txt from the previous version. In most cases it’s part of a workflow that breaks with each update.

4. Data Merge Image File Path Mac Big Sur

   Hi, I use data merge with images daily, after I updated my Mac OS to Big Sur the file path format changed.

   from FolderName:file.jpg
   to
   FolderName/file.jpg

   Any chance Data Merge can adopt to that soon?

   thank you

5. Navigation Points Not Available to Scripting in InDesign 2021 (16.0)

   Problem Description:
   Querying navigation points inside a movie trigger errors from InDesign 16.

   Steps to Reproduce:
   1. Query movie.navigationPoints.length or movie.navigationPoints.count() with Extendscript.

   The following script shows this issue(s) with simple document containing a move and one button with a play at navigation point action applied.

   var btn = app.activeDocument.buttons[0];
   var beh = btn.behaviors[0];
   var mov = beh.movieItem;
   var navPts = mov.navigationPoints;
   try{
   alert(navPts.length); /doesn't exist/
   }catch(err) { alert([err,err.line])}

   try{
   alert(navPts.count()); /*Give incorrect error - Error: Request failed because the underlying functionality is no longer available in the current version of the application */
   }catch(err) { alert([err,err.line])}

   alert(navPts.everyItem().getElements().length); /incorrectly says zero, when there are 2 navigation points/

   Actual Result:
   Each produces two separate errors.

   Expected Result::
   Both should be valid queries.

   Any Workarounds:

   No. Expected functionality is simply missing.

   movie.navigationPoints.everyItem().getElements().length at least doesn't produce an error, but it also doesn't include navigation points.

   This feature was added back to InDesign, but the scripting of it was neglected. I've filed a bug in prerelease as well. Posting here so others are aware.
