This is extremely frustrating. I have to import hundreds of images, almost all of which need to have a width of 264pt.
I created an object style to do this, and I set frame fitting to Fit Content Proportionally.
When I place some images and apply the object style, however, it only does the first step, setting the width without fitting the image. ¸
I made two identical object styles, then set one to fit proportionally.
When I apply either of them I get the same result: the frame width is set to 264pt but no fitting occurs.
If I then click on the other style, the images are resized to fit proportionally (but their frames are not–they remain 264pt wide and however tall the original was).
This happens even if the 2nd object style chosen is the one that says NOT to auto-fit.
In other words, if I apply the style that should auto-fit, it does not do it. If I then apply the one that should not auto-fit, auto-fit happens.
It works identically if they’re applied in the opposite order, which makes sense because the 2nd one is meant to auto-fit.
My intention was to use two styles: the first would set the width AND auto-fit proportionally. The second would be identical but turn off auto-fitting so I could crop the frame without the image inside it resizing. I guess that will still work, except that I’ll always be wondering why it’s not doing exactly what I have told it to do.
Also, is there a way to get it to resize the frame’s height when it auto-fits the image? I don’t like the extra step of hitting alt-ctrl-c every time.
It should be a one-click operation (apply a style that sets width and auto-fits proportionally, then turns off auto-fit so I can crop), but is currently 3 steps (apply a style, apply a second style, alt-ctrl-c).
I’m using the latest CC2018 in Windows 10.
