You cannot use modules in script expressions which are not included in Nodejs itself. The correct way to read xml files is to use the native Switch modules, you can find more information in the documentation: https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/DeveloperGuide/SW/22.1/home.html#en-us/common/swscr/referen...

Execute command can save the stdout to a dataset, but not to private data. It also does not use a shell, so piping and redirecting doesn't work without an intermediate shell file. If you use the free app Run command, then you can save to private data and you can use redirecting and piping. That will...

Enfocus reported to me it is fixed now

I haven't done job submission to Switch myself, but looking at your code I see that you set the Content-Type and Content-Length headers. When working in nodejs I personally use a library to calculate these when I work in nodejs. From what I can find online you don't have to specify them when you wor...

You can escape square brackets in switch variables by duplicating the opening brackets. Can you try this? '{ "model": "gpt-4-1106-preview", "messages": [[ { "role": "user", "content": "Write a poem about flowers" } ], "temper...

I have used the following line in the past for font activation with extensis

$.sleep(10000)
(Unit is milliseconds)

You might want to try freddys suggestion first, if it works it won't need delays.

It can indeed change the image compression. You can change the behavior by adding the "Override default image recompression" action before the action which is changing the images.

You can lower the indesing saving time for all pages by lowering the preview resolution. But that may be a problem if you use the preview.

I think there is page information in the XMP? This Switch variable gives the highest page number in my test: [Metadata.Integer:Path="xmp:PageInfo/*[last()]/xmpTPg:PageNumber"] In InDesign this is of course not always equal to the amout of pages since you can start a document with any page ...

Script expressions only have read access to the switch api.

If you want to set private data using a script expressions, then you can use the data mapper app. There you set the tag in the app and calculate the value using a script expression.

Then I think the best option is to have some small reproducible sample and report it to Enfocus Support. Another workaround you could try: put the requesting of the property in a try catch, and if there is an exception, wait for 1 second or so and then request the property again. Even if the workaro...

Is it possible that you are on Windows and Illustrator was started manually (not by Switch)?

On windows InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop need to be started by Switch, otherwise the the communication with Switch won't work.

Hi Jan, the weird thing is, I can only use the folder picker to set the path, I can't set the path inline. What am I missing? I think it should be possible to add the path Jan suggests in the windows folder picker dialog. If you still can't access the location this way, then I think it's best to ch...

This is a list of Illustrator commands which you can use in scripting: https://ten-artai.com/illustrator-ccver-22-menu-commands-list As you can see, the package command is not in the list. It is necessary to do all the separate steps in scripting. So the script should get the list of links, place th...
