Does anybody know if it is possible to have the configuratpr for InDesign Server run a script on "Open" that will suppress the auto-recovery of files?

I can confirm that this works just fine, Freddy. It even works with InDesign CC 2014 though this is not yet officially supported by Switch ;-) However CC 2014 adds the possibility of saving both idml and PDF together with everything else in a package. Can anybody help to add these features to the sc...

I'm looking for a way to have the InDesign configurator create an InDesign package. I guess I'll need a script to be run by the configurator. Any help?

When making JavaScripts there is apparently a few differences between InDesign Desktop And InDesign Server. I have the script below working in Switch with InDesign CC in the desktop-version. If I replace the desktop-version with InDesign Server and run the same script, Switch messages returns an err...

Perfect, Dwight! That was it. Thank you.

Hi Freddy and Dwight, Based on your previous posts I have created the following script in SwitchScripter: function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job ) { var textFile = new File(s.createPathWithName(job.getNameProper()+".txt")); textFile.open(File.WriteOnly); textFile.writeLine( job.getVari...

Hi Freddy,



I have an almost similar need, where I want to output a text-file with information stored in the JobState.



Could a similar script be used to do that and if so, how do I call the information from JobState with the script?

I could easily live without the Quark scripting-thing, but when I trash that I just get another error in Switch when trying to use InDesign Server. The error is this: 01/04/14 16.40,Error,InDesign Server, "flow name",InDesign Server,0092Y,"File name",Script returned error: /tmp/S...

I see the exact same error using InDesign Server with Switch 12 and in this case the files does not come through. I'm also on Mavericks with Switch 12.

Hi Dwight

I've tested this on Mac OSX and it works just perfect.

For using it on Windows you suggest that I download and install "something like this" and then you supply a download link. The link refers to a PDF, an I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to use that?

Hi Dwight,



You are right, that I'm usually on OSX but in this case I'm trying to help a costumer running Switch on Windows Server 2008. Do I understand you right that this makes a difference for the suggested script?

Does any of you have an idea on how to use the Rename-feature to rename a file using md5 conversion.

Works just fine Thank you!

Thank you Freddy for that idea. I'll try it out and let you all know if I can get it working.
