Reply To: Placing multiple images alphabetically in InDesign

Hi,

A funny matter not fixed since 2015! … ;-)

How import files into ID as you want? … By name, creation or modification date, file weight or type, in an alphabetical order or reversed … even randomly! …

Simply by script! ;-)

ImportFiles

Comments on screenshots [34-files test]:

1/ Basic importation into ID: alphabetical order.

2/ Finder files folder.

3/ You launch the Script! It asks you what files to be imported [as ID basic importation].

4/ [If no open doc or no chosen file(s), the Script stops!] After having selected files to be imported, the Script asks you, via its UI, what kind of sorting you would like to run! [by default, “by Name” is checked].

5-10/ Results of the Script importation:

5/ by Name, reversed order

6/ by Creation Date

7/ by File Weight

8/ Random – try 1

9/ Random – try 2

10/ Random – try 3

Of course, the 3 “random” results are different!!!! =D
