Olav:

Sorry to be so dense, but I'm just not getting a count of images.

tell application "InDesign"
tell active document
count images of selection
count images of item 1 of selection
count images of rectangle 1
end tell
end tell

all return 0 when it ought to be 1. "exists image 1" always returns false.

However, if I ask for ""page item 1 of item 1 of selection", I get a reference to a PostScript picture when the frame contains an image. If the frame is empty, I get an error.

Is this a reliable way to check for the presence of an image?
