      Some of my most favorite and often used scripts have suddenly quit working.

      The scrips that are in the sample folder from Adobe are just fine, but I have a few (crop marks and a custom sizing script that Jongware wrote for me) that were working great yesterday and now won’t run – not from the key command I made for them, and not from double clicking them in the panel.

      Any idea what I can do to get them all working again?

      I really don’t think I changed anything.

      So I’ve narrowed it down to something wrong with my “user” folder for those scripts.

      I’ve copied those same scripts into the “Application” folder scripts, and they work just fine.

      Some problem, uh, solved?

      If you are working in Windows 7 or more and you’re not admin of the “machine”, some scripts don’t work because of the windows restrictions. A user cannot create files (some scripts write to disk) if he has no admin authority. Sometimes it helps by copying the scripts to the application folder. They are then “linked” to Indesign in stead of the user.

        Mac User here. And the confusing thing is the User Scripts folder has been working just fine since I installed 6.0 until Monday. So something happened to break it.
