An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment I agree that David's solution to the book problem is simpler than what I'm requesting. But file management by project or by client (or anything else if keywords are supported) is a basic need for anyone working with large numbers of files, projects, or clients. So I would be very grateful if David's solution were implemented. But I'd still be in serious need for a really useful Recent Files facility. All it is now is a visually lavish equivalent to the old dropdown list of the last <n> files opened. Useful, yes, but only in a tremdously limited, unimaginative way.
An error occurred while saving the comment It would certainly help if ID just excluded books accessed via the Book panel, but (a) often one has to access those files outside the Book panel, and ID would have to check to see if a file is part of a book, (b) some files are used both in a book and as stand-alone files, and (c) file management is still desperately needed for organizing clients, projects, etc.

We have added this feature in our backlog for future release
An error occurred while saving the comment I'm glad this is in the backlog, but that was in late 2017!
I hope it gets pushed up to the top before another 2-3 years go by. I'm getting old.....
An error occurred while saving the comment Text variables and live captions are SIGNIFICANTLY USELESS without proper embedding in the specified paragraph styles. This means embedding, of course, but it also means full styling capability as well. The instance of a variable's text should be inserted into the parent text flow before styles are applied.
The controlling paragraph style can then properly format the inserted text, including character styles, embedded styles, and GREP styles.

An error occurred while saving the comment @Jack - Yes, thanks, I am aware of that. I do it all the time, but it's not a style. It's a work-around. If I want to promote a run-in workaround to a real heading, I have to edit it out of the paragraph, create a new style, and paste the text into a new paragraph with that style. If I want to demote a real heading to a run-in heading, I have to go through a similar, but even less convenient, rigamarole.
The whole point of style sheets is to avoid that kind of repetitive manual busywork. I appreciate your suggestion, but it doesn't really fulfill the need for REAL run-in heading styles!

An error occurred while saving the comment YES! Please! This is a terribly important feature.
Just add the checkbox ("Apply Space Before on new pages or columns")!
I use the obscure "Rule Above, Keep in Frame" technique as a work-around EVERY DAY, and I can't believe this is required. When the layout engine checks to see if a paragraph is first in a page or frame, just ALSO check to see if this option is enabled for that style, and if so, HONOR the Space Above setting.
A slight improvement would be to have a SECOND Space Above setting ("Space Above on new column") so we can have one setting for contiguous paragraphs, and a special setting for the first occurrence. But this is minor compared to the main idea -- for chapter titles to FLOW, we MUST honor the Space Above value.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue.
However this behaviour seems to prevail since quite a long time.I have marked it NeedsReview for consideration in the coming versions of InDesign.

David's suggestion is a good one -- just list the BOOK FILE, and don't list the chapter files that it references, since the book file itself serves the same purpose (much more usefully) as the Recent Workspace.
Unfortunately, this still requires maintaining some metadata on the chapter files, since they may be opened individually and not through the book file. The programming required to do this would be better applied to improving the overall functionality of the Recent Workspace itself. So many file management features are missing that the whole panel is little more than just a huge version of the original drop-down recent file list.
We need to MANAGE recent files, sort by date or project or client, honor the file system so files can be organized, handle more than a few dozen files, group by key-words, etc.
