I have two scripts (one from Shirley Hopkins' book, the other from the ID
Scripting Guide) to create an ID Book file, and then add the files from a
specified folder to the Book, in order. Unfortunately, no matter how I try I
can't seem to turn off the automatic repagination feature when I add new
book content.

In other words, every time the script adds a new file (make book content) it
repaginates the whole book. (This takes progressively longer with every file
it adds because there's always one more item in the book to repaginate.)

So... Of course, I added a line to the script that set automatic
repagination to false right after it creates the book... but it doesn't
change anything! It still auto paginates!

Ironically enough, when I then go in through the UI, it tells me that the
auto pagination for the book actually *is off*! In fact, if I then add files
manually through the UI, it does not auto paginate.

So, why don't I just select all the files and drag and drop them into the
book through the UI? Well, if I try to add *multiple* files using the UI,
sure, they all come in at once, without auto pagination, but instead of
being in alphabetical (or any) order as they are in the folder, I get a
jumbled random order of files that does me no good.

All I want to do is create a book, add a bunch of files�quickly, and *in
(alphabetical) order*�and only do the pagination once, much later, when I'm
ready for it.

What should I do?
