To know more about scrips: An oriented scripting blog compilation (July 2010)

If you want to know more about script writing, here is a dedicated blogs compilation :

Marc Autret 's website (BookBarCode...) : http://www.indiscripts.com/

Tomaxxi 's blog (Last one on board) : http://indisnip.wordpress.com/

Dave Saunders 's blog: http://jsid.blogspot.com/

Olivier Berquin 's blog (Applescript) : http://olivier.berquin.free.fr/indesign/


I did choose to list here only the blogs which provide code explanation. Don't be surprise if some very rich websites don't appear. It may be cause of this lack of education.

Big up to Tomaxxi whose intention is to provide short snippets only.

Thanks to Marc for the quality of his explanations even if sometimes I can't seize it all :-D

Dave and Olivier's website seem a little bit unused but the content is still worth it.

I am trying to get that list updated every month. In advance, all apologizes to the one I forgot. Just raise your hand !

And of course, if you know other places, feeel free to give. But please keep in mind the educational side.

If you find some very interesting places, just contact us ;-)

Discover ScriptBay, an improved panel for the Creative Suite Scripts Management (CS5 only)

You can script all the Creative Suite software (All ?) But manage scripts is not always easy depending on the software you are using.

Without surprise Indesign is THE soft for scripts. Photoshop et Illustrator, well it's like only actions matter. Scripts are just dropped in some submenus.

Well, There was improvement potential and Harbs and his In-tools's crew seized the occasion offering ScriptBay. This product is an improved panel that you can run either from Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator or even...Bridge (Yeah I know no Bridge scripts around but who knows...?).

Let's start digging into ScriptBay.
