I always have the problem of having too many files linked in indesign that are in the wrong place. I took a couple of days out of the internship to develop a little indesign script that can copy the files over to the project folder of an indesign file. So I can finally peacefully delete files from my downloads folder, knowing that I won’t accidentally delete something I linked elsewhere.
Right now I have a script that works for a single document, but I still need to make a version that goes through all the indesign files in a folder and looks through those linked images to pull them into the project folder.
It’s similar to creating a package, but it doesn’t cause duplicates and extra generated pdfs, and it keeps the actual indesign files small by not embedding the images inside of them.
