These include: Interactive PDF Export Preferences Track Changes Preferences CJK Grid Preferences Mojikumi UI Preferences Story Grid Preferences Watermark Preferences (and possibly one or two more) Please note: The CJK specific ones <i>should</i> work in the CJK versions of InDesign CS4 as well, but I don't have a CJK version of CS4 to test in... There's a few odds and ends that will not be picked up, because they don't fit into any "preference category": 1) Clear Overrides When Applying Style. 2) Label (this should not really be an issue...) 3) Live Screen Drawing 4) User Color (for track changes) 5) User Name (for track changes) When I have some time, I'll try to write a hack to get these preserved as well... If you find any other preferences which don't get preserved, please let me know! I just updated the script to harvest the new preference categories available in CS5.

These include:
Interactive PDF Export Preferences
Track Changes Preferences
CJK Grid Preferences
Mojikumi UI Preferences
Story Grid Preferences
Watermark Preferences

(and possibly one or two more)

There’s a few odds and ends that will not be picked up, because they don’t fit into any “preference category”:

1) Clear Overrides When Applying Style.
2) Label (this should not really be an issue…)
3) Live Screen Drawing
4) User Color (for track changes)
5) User Name (for track changes)

When I have some time, I’ll try to write a hack to get these preserved as well…

If you find any other preferences which don’t get preserved, please let me know!

Seems to work with the Preferences available in CS5. As expected it will not save and restore preferences not available in CS4 like the dynamic sreen redraw (i do not have an english version, so I tried a basic translation). Is there a change to get the code of the script to expand it like an open source project? Hi

If you try it, let me know how it turns out! ;-) @Eugene:

When we work on improvements, we'll try to include that option. Great idea! When we work on improvements, we’ll try to include that option.

This is excellent. I am missing an option to load a pref file at start-up, though. If you could provide that it would be excellent. If not I will have to script the pref-loading, which should not be that difficult now that I can rely on your XML file... Thanks again, Ralf Thank you. This is excellent.

Really like the sound of this... would like it to work. :) Win XP. Thanks, Felix.
