That creates an alias which references the project folder inside the Git repository.

I have this ‘habitual process’ to create a reference to my script on the Scripts Panel I perform the following steps:ġ) Start InDesign CC 2014 or earlier, and go to the Scripts PanelĢ) Right-click (or Control-click) the User folder, and select Reveal in Finder. – To test my script, I like to add it to the InDesign Scripts Panel, so I can run it from InDesign by double-clicking the script on the Scripts Panel. – For InDesign scripts, I’ll have a project folder with the script under development and some other ‘subservient stuff’ – helper files, read me files, PHP scripts, XSLT files,… – I have some Git repository with ‘stuff’ under development I do most of my InDesign script development with InDesign on a Mac. With InDesign CC 2015, that does not work any more, and you must use a symbolic link instead. In previous versions of InDesign, you could add stuff to the Scripts Panel by means of a Mac OS X alias. ![]() As everyone has their own preferred way to do things, and I suspect not many people have the same workflow as I do, this might be a worthless tip, but I am putting it out nevertheless, just in case. It’s not much, but it’s a little annoyance in InDesign CC 2015, and how I’m working around it.
