Hi guys!
After seeing quite a few requests on the forum for a tool to relink multiple images to a different folder (and because i could also use something like this in my workflow) I whiped this up:
function main() { var doc = app.activeDocument; var myLinks = doc.links.everyItem().getElements(); var linkObj = {}; // create inital object /* linkObject { [path]{missingNr, arrayOfMissingLinks} } */ for (var i = 0; i < myLinks.length; i++) { if (myLinks[i].status == LinkStatus.LINK_MISSING) { var myPath = File(myLinks[i].filePath).path.toString(); if (linkObj[myPath] == undefined) { linkObj[myPath] = { missingNr: 1, missingLinks: [myLinks[i]], newPath: '' } }else{ linkObj[myPath].missingNr++; linkObj[myPath].missingLinks.push(myLinks[i].getElements()[0]); } } } //$.writeln(linkObj.toSource()); var myDialog = new Window('dialog', 'Link Chaser:', undefined); var panel1 = myDialog.add('panel', undefined, 'Double click to select new path'); panel1.align = ['fill', 'fill']; var myList = panel1.add('listBox', undefined, "", { columnWidths: [160, 160, 130], numberOfColumns: 3, showHeaders: true, columnTitles: ['Old Path', 'New Path', 'Nr. of missing links'] }); myList.size = [450, 200]; myList.align = ['fill', 'fill']; for (var missingPath in linkObj) { with(myList.add('item', missingPath)) { subItems[0].text = linkObj[missingPath].newPath; subItems[1].text = linkObj[missingPath].missingNr; } } myList.onDoubleClick = function() { var myNewPath = (new Folder(app.activeDocument.filePath).selectDlg("Select New Folder") || '').toString(); myList.selection.subItems[0].text = myNewPath; linkObj[myList.selection.text].newPath = myNewPath; } myDialog.add('button', undefined, "Ok", { name: "ok" }); myDialog.add('button', undefined, "Cancel", { name: "cancel" }); if (myDialog.show() == 1) { for (var i in linkObj) { if (linkObj[i].newPath != '') { var fixedNr = 0; var links = linkObj[i].missingLinks for (var j = 0; j < links.length; j++) { var newFile = File(linkObj[i].newPath + "/" + links[j].name); if (newFile.exists) { fixedNr++; links[j].relink(newFile); } } alert('In folder:\n' + linkObj[i].newPath + '\n' + 'Fixed ' + fixedNr + ' links out of ' + linkObj[i].missingNr + '\n' + 'Please check'); } } };}
app.doScript('main()', undefined, undefined, UndoModes.entireScript, "Link Chaser");
It's really fresh, and i didn't do much testing on it, so please check it out and if you encounter problems let me know.
Enjoy,
Vlad
