On Indesign CC (Win or Mac) :
Treeview with multi levels can be expand with recursive function;
But collapse operation seems to be not working with similar function;

On Indesign CS6 (Win or Mac) :
Treeview with multi levels can be expand.
Collapse operation runs halfway. But items (not node) on first level are indented too much.

Run Script treeviewexpandcollapse.jsx to test it

InDesign2020SDK/source/public/interfaces/xmedia/IXMLOutStream.h:499

void WriteName(const UTF16TextChar* name, bool16 newLine = kFalse)
              { this->WriteName(name, newLine); }

This function calls itself. It leads to a stack overflow on Windows but the code analyzer in Xcode catches it and reports an error during compilation. It can be changed to:

void WriteName(const UTF16TextChar* name, bool16 newLine = kFalse)
              { this->WriteName(WideString(name), newLine); }

and it will work (it calls the previous function in the file instead).

In the attached document, when I (try to) convert the tabbed text to a table, InDesign crashes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the document from the attached zip file.
2. Select the text frame.
3. Run the following one-line script:

app.selection[0].parentStory.texts[0].convertToTable ('\t', '\r');

Expected result: a table.
Actual result: InDesign crashes.

Note: the crash does not happen when the tabbed text is converted manually:

1. Select all the text
2. Table > Convert Text to Table

I posted this one in the general feature requests section, should have done that here in scripting. Here's the link:

https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/32582917-please-expose-a-pdf-s-page-count-to-scripting

It got quite a few votes over there. . .

P.

findGrep() causes a crash with the following terms:
"w?"
“\w?”
“h?”
“w?i?”
...

e.g.:
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "w?";
var _result = app.activeDocument.findGrep();

When overriding page items by script, those items are unexpectedly shifted and do not stay in the x/y position, they are on the master page. This differs widely from the UI-behaviour of InDesign.

There is a very good view and analysis of this bug from Marc Autret, which can be found here:

On https://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/documentation.html site links are not working at the IDML section. Please fix it!

app.typeContextualUiPrefs.showFractionsUi = false;
don`t work

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.

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.

There has to be a way to get the relevant text in the document -- or else there's no point to making the pdfComments available

You can preflight books: myBook.preflight()
But there is no corresponding function to preflight individual documents. Please add the preflight() function to the document object.

If you switch monitors (i.e., unplug your laptop from a large monitor and go to present at a conference), and don't restart InDesign, scriptUI doesn't update the center position of the monitor.

It causes scriptUI windows to appear out of place.

Inside of the animationSettings, there's no way to access or manipulate the motion path as a path object.

It would be useful to have access to that path and be able to run path functions on it (add/remove points, simplify, etc).

EvaluateXPath is not working with Namespace, Internet surfing is also not working on this task. For past 5years we searching for this solution. kindly check and provide solution hope you are revisiting your old path.

Hanging & Overset is the Main Issue, still we cannot find the root cause why this is appearing in all the time. Please check the feasibility to avoid the Overset issues occurred for Long Text without having space or Long Tables and Mostly Hanging issues occurred in Keep Options On or Off. Please check the feasibility and do the needful.

It would also be nice to plug a script to modify the text replacement from the text variable dialog.

Such an opportunity is needed, for example, for alternatively replacing paragraphs that are too long with a shortened version.
