1. 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.

2. Can't read XML attributes from tagged image contained into table

   Can't read XML attributes from tagged image contained into table.

   Hello, I have some problems when I use one script Javascript to read XML attributes of tagged images contained into tables.
   One XML file with data is imported into document with existing XML structure. In attached example there is a simply structure with one tagged text frame. When importing XML data, text frame contain one simply tagged table with one tagged image into one cell.
   In earlier versions of Indesign (up to CC 9.2) this script works fine.
   In later versions this script not read correctly these attributes: in CC2020 version script read container cell attributes; in CC2021 instead script read correct XML element but this element appears invalid.
   If I first import XML file into an empty document and then tag the text frame then there is no problems!

   Adobe InDesign CC2021(16.1)
   MacOS Mojave 10.14.4 on Mac mini (Late 2014) 3 GHz Intel Core i7

   1) New file from scratch
   2) Add new text frame and tag it with "TEXT"
   3) Import example XML file "imgattrs.xml"
   4) Run script file "imgattrs.jsx"

   EXPECTED RESULT: read XML attributes of tag "IMG"
   ACTUAL RESULT: "IMG" xmlElement is not valid.

   ---

   Javascript:

   var doc = app.documents[0];
   var root = doc.xmlElements.firstItem();
   var frame = doc.textFrames[0];

   var xmlelems = root.evaluateXPathExpression("//IMG");
   var rectxml = xmlelems[0];
   if (rectxml && rectxml.isValid) {
   var attrsnames = rectxml.xmlAttributes.everyItem().name;
   var attrsvalues = rect_xml.xmlAttributes.everyItem().value;
   }

3. 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
