    Hi all.
    You can turn off ‘check for links’ in prefs (great) when no file is open.
    But how do your turn off ‘check for fonts’ ? Is this also in prefs?
    I often need to open lots of old files at once to check various things – other than fonts and links – and don’t want to be pestered by ID telling me I’m missing fonts for each of the docs I’m opening. It’s an unnecessary amount of click-throughs !
    Thanks

    I don’t know of any way to stop that nagging but I completely agree this would be a wonderful feature! Hie thee to the feature request page, or the InDesign scripting page to see if someone can write one up.

    Depending on what exactly you need to check in those files, you may want to check out the free ID-Util from Markzware, which lets you inspect ID files without opening the program: https://markzware.com/products/id-util-macos/

    Thanks for the that, AM – seems like an obv feature to have after thousands of users opening millions of docs!
    I’d no idea you could submit script requests!
    Cheers
