      Hi guys,

      First things first, congrats for that script. It is blazing fast and really helpful.

       

      I’ve downloaded the free trial to see by myself if I could use it, as I’m working with many tables and that could save a lot of time. And the answer is certainly, but…

      The first thing that I would ask whether it is possible is :
      – Could there be a way to skip the popup window that basically asks only to click OK. This way, adjusting the size of the columns could just be 1 shortcut away.

      – Could there be a way to run the script for all the tables within a document ?

       

      Thanks for your answers

        Hi Dain,

        Thanks for your comment!

        Regarding a no-UI option (to launch the script with just 1 shortcut) – already you’re not the first person to ask for this – it makes a lot of sense, so I’ll probably add it quite soon.

        And running on all tables also makes sense. I guess that should be an option in the main UI window.

        Good suggestions, which I hope to implement soon…

          Thanks for the quick answer !

           

          I’m happy to hear you’re thinking on improving the script. Very happy actually. Can’t wait to see that coming.
          I’ve been using an old fashion script to resize the columns so far, but it is nowhere near yours in terms of efficiency and speed. Good job !

          Best

          Good luck

            Thanks.

            I’ve posted an update to fix a few minor bugs today (so we’re now on version 1.0.4): a bug fix for users who were using optical margin alignment (which causes the script not to work), and a more important bug fix in cases where the alignment of the contents was not left-aligned.

            Regarding the no-UI vesion, and running on the entire doc, this is something that will appear, but probably not for at least a month, as I’ll be on holiday (more or less) for the next 3 weeks…

              Thanks for the update,

              I’m sure you’re taking some well deserved time for yourself. We have to actually. Recharge the batteries and else.

               

              I’ll be around anyway

                Hey Ariel,

                Hope you had a nice holiday and get some well-deserved rest 😉

                Just passing by and wondering whether you had the time to think about the improvements we were talking about ?
                Especially for dealing with all the document tables all at once. The No UI thing is useful but rather cosmetic in terms of time-saving. My documents have usually 300 small tables. I can surely say your script is already saving me quite some time but could be even more.

                  Hi Dain,

                  Not yet. It’s still on the radar though.

                    Hey,

                    As long as it is on the todo list, I’m ok 😉

                    CreativePro magazine #20 is giving your scripts a big  thumb up btw ^^

                    I’m always pleased to see such things happening. Hope it’ll do some good for your business 😉
