I've recently put together just a few changes on the FindChangeByList script that allows you to point to a specific spot on a network instead of referencing the FindChangeSupport folder in the scripts panel and wanted to share with everyone.
Why would you want to do this you ask? Well here where I'm working, we have 5 catalog designers and 10 copywriters that all use the same script for automattically formatting our text assets, and it's nice to only update one find/change list and it will be changed for everyone.
All you have to do is comment out (or delete) line 195:
//myFilePath = myScriptFolder + myFilePath;
And put the complete file path in line 116 (yours will obviously be different):
var myFindChangeFile = myFindFile(“//stp-file1/groups/Shared/Indesign%20Scripts/FindChangeSupport/2012.txt”)
to make it easier to figure out the file path, you can run the script with nothing in the filepath and put this line of code on line 200:
alert(“Opening file: ” + myFilePath);
and it will give you the string you're looking for.
