Hello All,
Kindly provide more information about this ask. How do you plan to use the Action Panel in InDesign? Do you want it to work exactly like that in Photoshop? What are the most important actions/operations that you want to record?
Thanks

Double-clicking the .vbs file on my iMac opens Text Wrangler.
Is there any other way to install ?Phantom Steve

Hi Abhinav, why is this taking so long to fix?
It was a silly modification to begin with, but now it's a major user problem.
I'm not sure who comes up with these plainly ridiculous updates.
Can you not release a patch to address this one critical issue in a hurry ?
It's months now - and still we all sit with the problem. I haven't come across one person who thought this was a good idea.Phantom Steve
commented
Ravi - this needs a more urgent review. It needs a patch to offer the ability to permanently disable it.
It's a massive problem for print workflows.
Please urgently attend to it and have a patch released.Phantom Steve
commented
Could we get a fix for this asap please ?
It's affecting me a few times a day - and it seems like I'm not the only one.
It should be viewed as a critical failure requiring immediate action.Phantom Steve
commented
Definitely needs to be OFF by Default.
No question.
Or at least a preference for all documents.
I have never needed the feature and probably never will - now it's just adding extra steps and messing with my otherwise smooth workflow.
Terrible waste of time.Phantom Steve

Thanks

I like this - but how do you prevent the application of conflicting Character Styles ?
For example - how do you prevent the user applying a CS for Condensed Bold and a CS for Extended Bold at the same time ? -

A workaround would be to create a Paragraph Style.
But it's not good as it is - a real puzzle.Phantom Steve

Agree with some other comments - frame strokes should be customisable, allowing different weights, styles and colours for each side (much the same as the corners can be different radii and styles).
I understand there may be difficulties with multi-sided objects of more than 4 sides.
But if it could be implemented for 3 or 4 sided frames that would be amazing - and it would allow for extended creative opportunities.Phantom Steve

Most of these requests can be achieved in InDesign as it is — without an actions panel.
Sorry, correction — for repeating and running FIND/CHANGE requests one after another you can get third-party add-ins or scripts to create multiple changes.
It would be nice if ID included a panel (similar to Multi-Find/Change — a third party add-in) to allow us to run GREP and TEXT queries one after another as a batch.
That's maybe what this request should be asking for.
