Re: [Framers] ANN: Bottlenecks for the Ride for Roswell
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but it seems to me that this sort of script might take a very long time to run on any substantial number of paragraphs. But since we are brainstorming, why not! And perhaps I'm misunderstanding the concept you are describing. Could you post a rough graphic of exactly what you are talking about.

Re: [Framers] ANN: Bottlenecks for the Ride for Roswell
Personally, I'd love a replacement for the Clean Import plugin from the now vanished ElectroPubs. Even when you're careful to keep the names the same, it can be useful to strip out all the various tags and definitions and layouts and references (especially, heaven help us, those color definitions) so you know you have a blank slate to bring the new information into. The only differences from the old version would be making sure that if there's text with conditions in the document that that particular condition tag is left untouched except for making it visible in the resulting file and making it available book-wide. On a far simpler front, an update to the old Cudspan TocBreaker would be useful.

Re: [Framers] ANN: Bottlenecks for the Ride for Roswell
Great idea for charity! My FM days are numbered at this point (barring a new employer) but one thing I think would be awesome is a Search-Including-Insets function. Not sure if that scriptable (can you script dialog boxes?); not sure if one already exists. But I know for sure that it would have saved me a LOT of hassle setting up "all-files" BOOK files and trying to remember to add each new text inset as I made them and imported them where needed. I'd also have loved some kind of script to run spell check 'into' insets, too (though now my memory is telling me that above a certain version, that Just Works now in FM?). But I always just switched to my 'BOOK of All Insets' to do that as well. Finally... could a script figure out where automatic color definitions were generated? I've had some LONG hunts in the past, trying to figure out which (improper-file-type) indexed-color graphic junked up my file(s). Not a big deal; usually easy to track down given time and an IOR. But a "Search for source of Color Definition" dialog would have been a lot easier than taking the long way around [make IOR, pull into Excel, parse out extensions into their own columns, sort by extension, track down all indexed-color graphic, open each in PShop to see if they caused the non-standard Color Def--obviously, this is only needed when SOME index-color graphics MUST be used but others SHOULD be PNG/JPG/SVG]. If I think of any others, I'll post again. Good on ya!
