Make ImageCatalog Script an integral contact sheet function in InDesign
Good morning. There is a sample script in InDesign that I LOVE! It makes contact sheets much quicker (and using far less memory) than Photoshop or Bridge. If you have a hundred images and want to make a contact page, this script is the way to go. Much more efficient. The Script is the ImageCatalog under JavaScript samples in the Scripts window. This has always been available, and always worked very well until the last couple of updates. Now when I run it, it just sits there. If I try saving the images again (save a copy) or saving them as a different format (jpeg vs tiff or tiff vs jpeg), sometimes it works. Again - I LOVE this script, and wish you would just make it a regular feature. Is there something I should be doing with my images before I run the script?
These are sample scripts that ship with InDesign. They show up under Windows / Utilities / Scripts / Samples / JavaScript / ImageCatalog.jsx. There is no vendor to contact other than Adobe for this one. There is another version of this under Windows / Utilities / Scripts / Samples / AppleScript / ImageCatalog.jsx, but I've never been able to get the AppleScript version to work.
