findGrep() causes Indesign to hang and consume all available resources, eventually crashing the entire computer
This code will cause InDesign 17.1 to hang and consume all available resources until the computer eventually runs out of both real and virtual memory and then crashes.
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.properties = { includeMasterPages: true, kanaSensitive: true, widthSensitive: true };
app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '^(.*)$';var found = app.documents[0].changeObject.findGrep();
If the runaway app is terminated using Task Manager (Windows 10), a stack of message boxes appear with the following message:
Unable to terminate process
The operation could not be completed
The operation is not valid for this process1 vote -
Custom menus created by script stay after relaunching InDesign
There's a bug in InDesign 2022 where custom menus created by a script stay after relaunching InDesign.
How to reproduce:
-Run this AppleScript script which will create a menu titled Custom Menu:
tell application "Adobe InDesign 2022"
tell menu "$ID/Main" to make submenu with properties {title:"Custom Menu"}
end tell-Relaunch InDesign
The menu Custom Menu will still be there. While it should NOT be there unless explicitely created by a script again.
The only way to remove it is to run a separate script that specifically removes the menu.
It's a big problem for third-party software: for example, where users…

close book in event handler is out of sync
function closeBooks() {
var books = app.books.everyItem().getElements();
var i, ilen = books.length;for (i = 0; i < ilen; i++) { if (books[i].modified) { books[i].close(SaveOptions.ASK); } } alert('done');}
if you call the closeBooks function, everything works fine.
But if the function is used as a handler, the "done" message appears immediately, before the for loop complete.try adding a beforeQuit eventListener:
app.addEventListener('beforeQuit', closeBooks);and close InDesign having one or more modified books to see this (strange) behaviour.
The same function works fine if you target documents.

In later versions this script not read correctly these attributes: in CC2020…1 vote -
