Hi,
Way 1:
var myFiles = [File(".../file1.indd"),File(".../file2.indd"),etc.]
for(i=0; i<myFiles.length; i++) { app.open(myFilesArr[i]); }
Error was generated from the variable mismatch name (myFiles/myFilesArr)
var myFiles = [File(".../file1.indd"),File(".../file2.indd"),etc.]
for(i=0; i<myFiles.length; i++) { app.open(myFiles[i]); } This works.
Way 2:
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Choose a folder");
var myFiles = Folder(myFolder).getFiles("*.indd")
for(i=0; i<myFiles.length; i++) { app.open(myFiles[i]); } This works more or less. You don't really care about the files being greyed cause you are not requested to select files but a folder which contains indesign files. If there is any, they will be opened. However, this method works weirdly on mac and was deeply detailed By Dave Saunders on his blog.
