Why only pdf in that script? I found one that with a little modification works great on indd files, or changing the alpha chanel of a tiff, or other option that you can find in that window. It can be found on scriptopedia…

In CS4 there seems to be no Object > Graphics > Link Information anymore.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could drag out an image from the links panel. Sometimes I’d have an image that is placed more than once in a publication. It would be cool to just drag that link out of the Links Panel to place another instance of it. There are other apps that adobe make that do this

Interestingly, the ‘Shift’ keyboard shortcut — which is a shortcut to ‘Show Import Options’ before re-placing — doesn’t work in this case. You have to check the checkbox for the dialogue to show.

Well, the Links Information shows up in the contextual menu, and sometimes it doesn’t. I was experimenting with it this morning. It doesn’t matter what type of image it is, that was my first guess. So the Link Information still wasn’t showing up in the contextual menu. Well, I needed a reboot this morning and all of the sudden the Link Information was available.

So seems perhaps it’s a memory issue or something?

Melinda, you bring up a good point: InDesign doesn’t always show the Graphics > Link Info feature in the context menu. Not sure why. I suggest just using the Links panel.

Okay confused. When I right click on an image and go to graphics, all I get is Reveal in Finder and Reveal in Bridge. Where is this Link Information?

It’s a pity the Relink doesn’t show up in the contextual menu when right (cmd) clicking on images.

Just some backstory: Anne-Marie and I were chatting on the phone about this yesterday and I absolutely did not believe that this feature was in the Relink dialog box (I thought the script that Johnny mentioned was the only way to do this). Just another example of how someone can live in a program day in and day out and not see something in front of their face. Thank you Anne-Marie for pointing this out and posting it!

Whichever way you get to the Relink dialog box, note that it automatically brings you to the folder containing the file (nice)…

I may not understand the protocols for this, but InDesign seems to have different standards for where it opens it’s dialog box. For example, it would be great if only InDesign would bring you to the folder containing the CS2 version that you just opened/converted to CS3 so you can save over that file, instead of having to navigate all the way back to that folder, that would be great!
