Have never written nor used an InDesign script.

I'm using InDesign 3.0.1 and need a script which will replace filenames with inline graphics of the same name in a large catalog (each file has about 250 images).

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks

I have the original version of CS, using InDesign 3.0.1. Your script is for newer versions. Do you have a version for the original CS?

Thanks for your quick rescue.

I took no notice that you use CS &#8211; sorry. I don't have this version installed on my computer any more, so I can't make the script compatible with it.

I just looked at Kasyan's script, and I don't see anything which 
wouldn't work in CS. Just change the extension to js.

Try to remove '#target indesign' line from the script.

The script runs now, but no graphics are replaced is the message I get, even though I pointed to the correct folder with like named graphics in tif versus jpg format.

And you've confirmed that indeed they're still tifs and not jpgs -- that is, it's not just the message that is wrong, the script really isn't working?

I placed and linked Jpegs in a document with like named tif's placed in a folder. I ran the script, pointed to the folder and it said that no graphics were replaced. The linked graphics were the original Jpegs.

The existing links and the links you want them to replace with, shouldn&#8217;t be in the same folder for the script to work. If this is the case, try to move new links to a different folder.

They were in different folders and I got the message that no graphics have been replaced.

Could you send me your files ( indd + a few links), so that I could recreate the problem?
