Product Description:

Formerly known as Active Page Item Runtime.

Most of Rorohiko's plug-ins rely on this APID ToolAssistant plug-in to be installed.

What's new in this version:

Fixed crash on doc close when adornments were being modified by an event handler during document close.
Adornments now draw correctly on flipped items
Added new opcode:�?�kOpCode_SystemID = 10022�?�Sample:�?�theSystemID = app.callExtension(0�?90B6C,10022);�?�This is the optional system ID that is used to generate license files.
Adornments are not any more subjected to transparency effects applied to their page item.
Adornments now draw correctly on rotated items
Adornments now stay same size when user zooms in or out.
Adornments now don't print, don't display in preview mode, and don't show up on page thumbnails
Fixed 'Missing plug-in' dialogs that appear when a document is opened without APID ToolAssistant installed
Fixed issue where a user-undo immediately after doc open could inadvertently clear a loaded SPLN's JavaScript code.
Fixed bug in MenuName.txt handling (on Mac the file had to be named \MenuName.txt, with a leading backslash, instead of MenuName.txt)
Fixed undo/redo menu names for SPLN-provided context menus
Fixed Mac issue where a document name with double quotes would break SPLN functionality
dataStore is now persisted into InDesign libraries, snippets, .INX and .IDML files
Modifying an inline graphic should now trigger a modified-text event
External SPLN events are now properly collapsed into a single Undo step.
Improved 'event cascading' behavior (where scripts modify page items, causing further modified* events,...) - there is a fine balance between causing infinite loops, and not being able to detect the consequences of a scripted page item modification.
Added new opcodes:�?�
10018 = kOpcode_OwningDocument�?�
10019 = kOpcode_OwningPage�?�
10020 = kOpcode_OwningSpread.�?�
The spread and page are very simple-minded versions - they cannot handle any kind of nesting; we intend to improve these in 1.0.48.�?�Sample:�?�
theDoc = app.callExtension(0�?90B6C,10018,thePageItem);
Added new opcode to access value of 'theItem' as predefined at the beginning of each event handler call - even if 'theItem' is overwritten, calling this opcode allows you to retrieve its original value.�?�theItemAgain = app.callExtension(0�?90B6C,10017);
Fixed issue where ID would crash on export to EPS after printing and closing a previous document
Fixed bug where some slightly corrupted documents would lose their dataStore
Fixed bug where an undo just after doc open would disable events
Support more glyphs in adornment strings (e.g. Hebrew characters).�?�Left-to-Right text support is very limited: you can request an adornment string to be drawn left-to-right instead of right-to-left by appending a new, optional boolean parameter = true to the adornment specification. Fixed an issue where undoing a change to a page item event filter or script tag change could corrupt APID's internal lookup tables, causing all kinds of strange effects. The 'Cancel' button on the 'beg' dialog has been renamed to 'OK' which is much less confusing
New opcode:�?�
function IsValidID(doc,id){
return app.callExtension(0�?90B6C,10021,doc,id);
}
Fixed issue where a change of ID serial number or ethernet card on a computer would cause the wrong license file requests to be sent.
Missing PNG now don't draw at all.
Stories in anchored frames should now get more modified* events.

No complaints about the software - Version: 1.0.46, 12/7/2008 10:29PM PST

I love Rorohiko's plugs and this app which makes them work in InDesign - so no complaints about any of that.

Why this version 1.0.46 of the APD ToolAssistant now shows up here as being released today beats me. It's been available from the devs since November 7 this year.
