Script execution delay while re-booting the InDesign CC2018

[selvam214]

Hi All,

Kindly advice on the below.

Our process:

1. Start to run the applescript,

2. The applescript close our current InDesign application,

3. Applescript move the fonts in Application Font folder

4. Applescript open the InDesign application

5. Once application was open, the Javascript execute to Unzip the font folder (getting more delay to execute the Javascript - more than 3min)

Note: But the same process is working with in a minute on CC2015 and 17.

Important: As per use requirement, no need to place the Javascript (check point 5) in 'Startup Script'

Anything need to disable or updated in CC2018?

Thanks in advance,

Selva

Can I move this request to InDesign Forum? It's useful?

Hi,

In-between those points, I have cleared the InDesign preferences also.

3. Applescript move the fonts in Application Font folder

4. Applescript open the InDesign application

May be, once cleared the Preferences, the application getting to open with delay. Any reason behind this?

FYI, once cleared the preferences by manually, the application getting to open with delay (apporx 5 min delay).

Thanks,

Selva

HI,

Can you post the scripts you are using? Can you also explain exactly what your scripts are trying to do?

If you delete the preferences then InDesign will take longer to start as it has to recreate them all.

Thanks Malcolm,

Yes, the additional time taken based on the preference removal.
