      Hi there,
      I’ve been experminenting with scripts for a while and currently encountered two issues I cannot understand.
      1. Placing AI files by a script leads to an instant ID crash.
      I haven’t experienced this behaviour before, it started a few weeks ago. Placing an AI file by hand works perfectly, letting the script do the work leads to a crash. EPS files work fine, thus I switched to that format. Any way to make ID not crash with AI (happens on MacOS and Windows)?
      2. I’ve been working on some images using/replacing the geometricBounds, .fit() the frames, applying custom scale, and transform using a transormatio matrix. The actual function works like a charm, but after a few executions of the script, the image frame starts acting weird. It shows the correct size, but is barely or not at all visible. Saving & reloading the files + ID restart lead only to a broken frame, the frame and the image are “wasted”.
      Any help or information welcome :c)

      Is this a script you wrote? Or a script you found somewhere?
