The benefit is that a single collection of scripts can be maintained from a central location rather than having to push revised scripts out to all users when any are updated.įor the sake of completeness, the details for locating the Application and User folders follows. This enables sharing scripts among multiple users, by storing scripts on a network volume that all users can access. Now the keyboard combination launches the script.Īnother useful feature of the InDesign Scripts panel is that you can copy an alias (macOS) or shortcut (Windows) to the InDesign scripts folder.
If not currently assigned, you may proceed. Press the desired keyboard combination, which is then displayed. Once selected in the list, click the New Shortcut input field. Scroll through the list, and find the desired script. In the Product Area drop down list, select Scripts. Go to the Edit menu -> Keyboard Shortcuts. You may also assign a keyboard shortcut to scripts. Then to run a script, double-click its name in the list. Copy script files to this folder, and the scripts appear in the Scripts panel.
Inside this folder is another named Scripts Panel. Windows: right-click and the choice Reveal in Explorer appears. Mac OS: control-click (or right-click for a two-button mouse) and the choice Reveal in Finder appears. In the Scripts panel, select the User category in the list, and then follow the directions for your operating system: Fortunately, InDesign has an easy way to open any of the script folders directly from the application. However, the User scripts folder is difficult to locate because it is under user preferences, which are hidden from view and require special steps to make visible. You can put scripts in any of the categories, but I suggest you put scripts in the User category. The scripts that appear in the panel are separated into three categories: Application, Community, and User. To open the panel, go to the Window menu -> Utilities -> Scripts. This feature makes it easy to manage and run scripts.
A great feature of InDesign is its Scripts panel.
