Release: InData 6/7.1.9 for InDesign CS4/5/5.5

April 18, 2012 by car

This minor release adds ExtendScript access to InData’s import methods on Mac OS as well as full scripting access to InData’s prototype story and story names.

Changes

• Added ExtendScript access to the importDataFrom() and importDataFromFile() methods in Mac OS.
• Added scripting access to a document object’s prototype story property (or prototypeStory in ExtendScript), which corresponds to the InData > Use Story as Prototype setting in the UI. This is a read/write property of documents and contains either nothing/null (if not set) or a reference to a story within the document containing the active prototype story.
• Added scripting access to a story object’s InData story name property (or indataStoryName in ExtendScript), which corresponds to the InData > Name Story… setting in the UI. This is a read/write property of stories and is a string containing the story’s InData name. Note that the InData name is separate from a story’s name and label properties.
