Some time ago, a kind person provided me with a Javascript that would automatically place a folder's worth of files into a new document. It allowed the user to specify the number of rows/columns, and then used the default document size to create a new doc with all the images placed. It even had an option to add the filenames. It has worked well with every iteration of ID I have owned right up to CS2.

No matter how carefully one plans for disaster, Murphy guarantees to throw you a curve. In my case, the BACKUP machine has gone kaput, RAID and all. And of course there is the time factor. I needed this thing (upon which I've come to rely heavily) yesterday.

A search of the archives gives no joy, as this was some time ago. Exchange only has Mac thingies, which fills me with envy. (Pantone 3255, I think)

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks in advance.
Andy
