All,

I'm using the following snippet to get a count of graphic links:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set thedoc to active document
	tell thedoc
		set theitems to links where needed is true
	end tell
end tell

I occasionally get what appears to be an incorrect result. I can have two images in a document (which show in the links palette) and the script will return 1. If I comment out 'where needed is true' it returns the correct count.

Is there any circumstance where a linked graphic would not be considered needed?

Also, I've been having a lot of trouble with the package command not copying all the linked graphics and sometimes even the actual document. Are there any known issues with the package command?

cheers

kim
