I doubt it, but you might want to look into live captions in CS5. You can use the file place command, select the images and then using the arrow keys create your grid as you drag out the page with the mouse. Right click any image while still selected and choose captions. Set it up to read the file names.

Takes less time to do than it does to write about.

I have upgraded to CS5 and very much need the bridge to indesign contact sheets – I need to bring over approx 30 images with their file names but then need to modify the file names which cannot be done before creating the contact sheets to Indesign.(I still retain CS2 because of that capability). Q: will the script written for CS4 work for CS5?

Man, “limitations” is an incredibly charitable description. I just posted a bitter and twisted response on that exact subject, on John Nack’s blog post asking for feature requests/fixes needed in Bridge.

Thanks for the happy news!

Wonderful news! The InDesign contact sheets are much more flexible than the Photoshop approach. It’s worth more than the piddling 25 bucks that Bob is asking; this made my day!
