Eugene, Marijan, Everybody

Nice Marijan,

The below script can either be added to the end of your script or run independently.

It allows one to jump to the overridden master page items and make a report of all of them.

I think you should add a button to the SUI to remove the XML markups.

Just one little note on experimenting I came across an overridden master page item that was not "spotted" by our scripts but was by my "Yellow" script above this was because somehow the item was returning null on the (myPageItems[c].overriddenMasterPageItem !=null) test but not null on the (myPageItems.overriddenMasterPageItem !=null) test. Weird!

Unfortunately I deleted the file with this item and couldn't reproduce it.

alert(app.documents[0].pages.everyItem().pageItems.everyItem().overrid denMasterPageItem) would demonstrate this by returning an extra comma for an item that is an overriddenMasterPageItem but is null.

P.s. you forgot to set a target engine for your palette.

Regards

Trevor
