Hi everyone,
I have been writing JavaScripts for InDesign for 9 years and I have accumulated about 80,000 lines of finished code which fully automates the creation of very complex and time consuming legislative products. When I upgraded to CS5 I could fix versioning issues with the DOM by adding this code "app.scriptPreferences.version = '6.0'". However, when trying this in InDesign CS6 I would continue to get errors as forcing the version from '8.0' to '6.0' didn't always work, so I've been staying on CS5 until I finish debuggin and rewriting the out of date code to be compatible with the new DOM (this is taking me many months to do).
My question is, with the new subscription based model that Adobe are implementing with CS6.5 >=, will this software be automatically updated in the background like most cloud based systems?
If this is the case I could find my scripts not functioning at any time which is unacceptable as my products are legislatively required on an as-needs basis and any update could instantly see me not able to deliver.
If anyone has any knowledge on how this new system is going to work and/or you know if the scenario about automatic updates causing my scripts to malfunction could happen I would like to hear from you, thanks.
Brett
