    The important part in ChatGPT's promise is 'analyze, learn'. Before it can actually generate working scripts it needs lots of examples, which must necessarily be written by humans. Compare with InDesign: when you ask ChatGPT for a JavaScript to do this or that in InDesign, it gives you an ExtendScript, not a UXP script, because there are zillions of ExtendScripts around and (by comparison) hardly any UXP scripts.

    Ok, fair enough. Thank you.
  4. Peter Kahrel
    Sounds very sensible, pleased to hear it. Can you say when there'll be something for us to play with? Thanks, Peter

    > Our priority for scripting is Photo and things like developing RAW files, adding meta data, . . . etc. > Creating documents and text processing is 'pretty', but it's of zero interest to us compared to the aforementioned raw and image processing which happens every minute of every day and is where the real time savings are. What complete nonsense. Processing text documents can be as time-consuming (or even more so than) whatever you you do in Photo. If you can't automate various typesetting aspects you'll lose a lot of time.

    > Those of us who would love to experiment with it early would send an invaluable feedback to the devs, which in my opinion is as important as the release itself. And those who love living on the edge would start using it early and learn what works what what doesn't. Absolutely. Good point.

    @Tim France Many thanks for the progress report. > Naturally we've been exposing more of the apps' functionality to scripts I hope the ultimate aim is to expose all the app's functionality to scripting. Can you say anything about that? When you expose only part of the app's functionality you have to make a choice -- you'll always get it wrong.
  19. Peter Kahrel
    That's why a road map of planned features would be useful. P.
  20. Peter Kahrel
    That's true. But in InDesign you could do footnotes 'manually' because you could script them.
  21. Peter Kahrel
    A road map would be interesting.

    @GabrielM -- I don't have any particular project file, but it's easy to recreate. In a text frame, type xxx, press Enter/Return, and type zzz (but don't press Enter/Return). Now search .$ (any character at the end of a line). This expression should match first the last x, then the last z. But the last z is not found. Peter
  23. Peter Kahrel
    Well, yes, but the ones in Miscellaneous are toggles for panels, not text. P.
  24. Peter Kahrel
    Search results of expressions that use lookahead and/or lookaround aren't processed correctly. Search results are displayed in the Find panel, but they are not highlighted in the text and cannot be changed by a replacement text. This is the case with lookahead (?=...), the classic lookbehind (?<=...), and the modern, variable-length, lookbehind, \K P.
  25. Peter Kahrel
    Yes, confirmed. The matches are displayed but not highlighted. And i reported the bug. Looks like a general problem with location markers (lookarounds are a kind of location marker). P.
  26. Peter Kahrel
    That symbol is the section sign, it indicates the end of the story. P.
