Reply To: Automate change object layer option

Ploughing on some more psd files seem to retain their layer setting in InDesign. Some don’t. Some weeks ago I did indeed add layers and that confused InDesign completely (some message like “psd modified – now using psd settings”) and screwed up my setting. I believed, incorrectly, that when you set a layer in InDesign it should not matter what changes in the psd, it should keep selecting the specified layer (problem only if that one no longer exists).
I’ve since used a macro in photoshop to create both layer groups with some handy settings that I modify for each image. So adjustment settings change, layers remain and are not added/removed afterwards. That indeed seems to keep the layer setting in object layer options. So let’s hope it remains this way.

Still… I am interested to know/be able to write a script that does what I want (set object layer option explicitly for each image on each page). I would think this a no-brainer but cannot find anything on object layers in the object model as far as I looked.
