Please wait until Lulu completes their maintenance; try again in a few hours or tomorrow. I have no control over that.

I’ve made an attempt at providing such thing – try this:

Not sure if it fits the bill – let me know!

Hi Alexandre,

Hard to be sure, but it sounds like there might be more to this issue than can easily be handled via this forum or via e-mail. Before I could help you I’d nearly certainly need a much closer look at the issue: I’d need to see and poke into sample documents, might need to get some remote access to a desktop computer where I can ‘see’ the various workflow components, inspect paths, ping other computers,…

We can certainly do that, but unless the issue turned out to be trivial, there would be a fee: our InDesign and InDesign Server expertise is our source of income.

So, if you get really stuck, and the issue is very important to you, feel free to ask our help!

Hi Simon,

You might want to try this – Batcher is a tool to automate the processing of ID documents with a script via drag/drop. It should allow you to drag/drop a folder with 8000 files onto an icon, and have them processed.

It's freshly written, so it's not perfect yet, but it might be enough to get you going.

Hi Furry!

Glad you like Soxy. What you're describing sounds correct – Soxy is continuously fighting apps that 'know better', and Adobe apps often do detrimental things to icons and file associations after Soxy left the stage. By the sound of it, this is one of those situations: I think you're right, and InDesign probably writes out a brand new file when you save the .indb, and destroys the old .indb in the process – and hence, also destroys the custom icon along with it.

By that time, Soxy has long disappeared from the scene, and hence, you're left with a new file which gets a 'generic', version-less Soxy icon. Soxy only comes back into the picture next time you double-click the .indb, at which time Soxy can slap on a custom icon – only to be thwarted again next time you save the .indb.

We're always concocting new schemes to try and work around the oddities of various apps (especially on Windows, things get positively hairy, with apps sparring for control over who gets to open the file).

One of the schemes we're working on is to keep a Soxy 'daemon' alive in the background to fix up things that happen 'at a later time' – we already do that on Windows, but we'll probably also have to do it on Mac, to re-adjust things after other apps have had a go at wrestling control away from poor wee Soxy.

When software development duty's to be done, to be done, a code cutter's lot is not a happy one.

Aha – gone! I don't see the captcha any more!

Testing… Yes – I still see 'Math Required!'

12+1 is eurm… eurmm…

Cheers,
