Script failing ... strangely
Instructions:
- Load Script.txt into ExtendScript CC
- Open ID CC 2019
- Connect ExtendScript CC to ID CC 2019
- Run the script
- Observe that the script gives an error on line 6 (Invalid object for this request.) This is because TextFrame281 and TextFrame284 are the same object. They should be different objects.
To see this more clearly:
- Load script.txt into ExtendScript CC
- Open ID CC 2019
- Connect ExtendScript CC to ID CC 2019

Allow for control of undo tracking Re: Undo Set Scripting Tag
Currently the only way to manipulate the undo queue is to run a script with doScript and even then it's very limiting. With my current event listeners, the user clicks around a few times and the undo queue fills up with 'Undo Set Scripting Tag' and they are unable to undo simple changes without holding down CTRL+Z for a few seconds.

Preferences folder access via ExtendScript with macOS Catalina public beta 3
I've installed macOS X Catalina public beta 3 and I have an annoying issue with scripting.
I can't access to the user's preferences folder via Javascript even if I've assigned to InDesign full file system access in the security panel of the system preferences.
I can't read any files inside the user's Library so that I can't load a GREP query for example.Hope you find a fix on this.

ExtendScript feature: asynchronous PDF export for indb books
I'd like to see an asynchronous export option for indb books as it exists for indd documents because why not.
Currently I work with 10 indb projects and I'd like to export them by 4 using all the power of my 4-core cpu, but I can only export them one by one due to lack of asynchronous export option.
At the same time I'm able to export 4 indd files using existing asynchronousExportFile() method.1 vote -

Default Composer doesn't change via SDK
If I change the Default Composer via the Preferences Advanced Type dialog then query it in a script using app.textDefaults.composer I can see it has changed. However when I change it via a script it appears to change when I query it again but it is not changed in the prefs dialog and if I create a new document it is not the default composer. This is all with no open documents btw.

InDesign Scripting bug? Master Pageitems of specific Layer as Collection
I want to see all 'master' page items of all master spreads on a specific layer using code like this:
app.activeDocument.layers.itemByName('existLayerName').pageItems.everyItem().getElements();
Even such a layer contains 'master' page items, this code always returns an empty array!

Crash when adding a "checkbox" into a "cell" of a table
I'm trying to add a Checkbox into a cell of a table with JavaScript.
When executing the code InDesign crashes.With my Script I'm looking for certain text in a table, delete it from the cell and then want to add a checkbox instead. So my code is looking something like this:
var found = app.documents[0].findGrep();
found[0].parent.contents = "";
var myBox = found[0].checkBoxes.add();0 votes
