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.

Возможно создать вкладку с записью операций, чтобы принцип работы был реализован, как в Photoshop.
А также панель с историей работы в файле.

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 -
Bug with index entry
If you select a word after a table (»sit« in InDesign document: https://adobe.ly/2X0wXOi) and create an index entry using script, the page reference will be created after the word (under certain circumstances).
var _doc = app.activeDocument;
var _docIndex;if(_doc.indexes.length === 0) {
_docIndex = _doc.indexes.add();
} else {
_docIndex = _doc.indexes.firstItem();
}var textObj = app.selection[0];
var _parentTopic = _docIndex.topics.add("Topicname");
var _pageRef = _parentTopic.pageReferences.add(textObj);– word before that, everything's correct.
– tables with 3 or more rows
– the more table rows the more offset7 votesThanks for reporting

A reference to panel item 25 breaks a script
There's a rogue panel that breaks InDesign CC2019 when it is referenced (CC2018 is not affected).
Open InDesign CC2019, then run this one-line script:
app.panels[25].name
Result: Error: 'Invalid object for this request'.
Now do this:
app.panels[25].isValid
which returns true.

Inner glow size limited to 144pt
Setting innerGlow size to larger than 144 pt via script causes an error for invalid value outside an expected range of 0-144. However, the UI allows size up to be over 13 inches. I have not tested all the other effects, but I believe this is the case for inner shadow and feather as well.

problems with work speed
I change formats of single letters or total paragraphs in a book. If I do this at a start of a indesign file (70 pages, 270 footnotes, no pictures, only opened part of the book) it lasts up to 40 seconds until I can work further. If I do this further to the end of the document the delay is lessens.

User Interaction Level resets during Data Merge
Using at the top of the InDesign tell block:
set user interaction level of script preferences to never interactThe way I understand user interaction levels, when set to 'never interact', it should suppress all dialog boxes from popping up.
When AppleScript performs 'merge records', and the merged record contains missing fonts, ONLY SOMETIMES a missing fonts dialog box pops up and breaks the script. One can close this dialog, run the script again, and the dialog doesn't appear. This unpredictability is why I'm logging it as a bug.
Looking at the JavaScript DOM, the userInteractionLevel is a setting at…

INumberConverter being ignore when exporting PDF
I am using CC 2017, but it has been an issue for multiple versions.
I have a custom plugin that implements INumberConverter on kPageNumberingStylesService Boss for a custom numbering format. This works beautifully until I try to export to PDF. If I print to PDF Distiller it works fine, but when I export to PDF it exports with default numbering style.
This is similar to an old stubborn bug, when exporting book to PDF would not do the numbering correctly. I don't know that it is related, but they both seem to say that the numbering on export is decoupled…

Table footnotes not indexed correctly
Table footnotes are not indexed correctly in two ways: to the script engine they appear in the wrong order and table footnotes have no .index property.
The attached document has one text frame with three footnotes in the main text and one table with one footnote. The table footnote is footnote 3. To reproduce the problem, do this:
- Open the document.
- Run this script against the document (in the ESTK):
fnotes = app.documents[0].stories[0].footnotes
for (i = 0; i < fnotes.length; i++) {
$.writeln (fnotes[i].contents)
}- Expected output:
. Note 1.
. Note 2.
. Note table.
. Note 4.- Actual output:
. Note 1.

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.
