      It would be nice in Bridge, let's say, to click on an InDesign doc and be able to see what links are inside it. Is there a plug-in, script, or whatever that will do this? Thanks!

      I second the motion. That would be awesome.

      I usually just package all my documents at the end of the project. that way I know that all the connectd links are in the Links folder of the package.

      Also, you can always right click a graphic/story an go down to graphics then “Reveal in Finder” or “Reveal in Bridge” to quickly find where the link is located.

      Yes, it's possible. The script and its description are here. Any feedback is welcome.

      I’ve remade the script for Bridge: now you can select multiple InDesign documents in Bridge and see the list of links in Inspector Palette for every selected file.

      With Bridge scripting it is possible to create a really cool stuff. There are loads of scripts written for InDesign, but too few for Bridge.

      Kasyan,

      This is also something I find very useful at my job.

      I installed everything the way you instructed, saved the .indd file, et all, but I don't get a populated Inspector Panel. But the Metadata is all there.

      I run Win XP SP2, ID CS4 6.0.4

      I tested it on CS3 for Windows on my home computer and it worked for me.

      Today is the first day I am at work after New Year & Cristmas holidays. I tried to run it in Bridge CS3 for Mac, but it turned out that it doesn't work with this version, in spite of the fact that the code is supposed to work identically on both platforms.

      I am going to investigate this problem and will try to solve it as soon as possible. If people are interested in this script I'll be working on it.

      By the way, I am open to any suggestions and ideas, so if you have a proposal to add some interesting feature to the script, feel free to post it here or write me at askoldich@yahoo.com.

      I've found out that some versions of Bridge — for example CS3 and CS4 for Mac — interpret incorrectly new line characters in script.
      In CS3 for Windows it works as expected, but if I run the same script in CS3/4 for Mac, it displays only the first line. However the information is still there — if I move cursor over the panel, right click and choose copy, then paste it into a text editor, all lines are present there.

      MHebert, do you have the same problem on CS4 for Windows?
