Hi, Scripters have been doing many different things with Illustrator over the years. One of the things that allows that is the ability to open the files we need to process. Many things could prevent a file from opening, so the open command has a nifty dialogs parameter, that allows a scripture to ask Illustrator to open a file but regardless of any issues, prevent a dialog from opening. On top of that, Illustrator can be asked to not display any dialogs at all with the user interaction property.
Alas, the new Illustrator has a missing fonts dialog box that will not go away. It has the TypeKit logo at the top, so many folks, me included, got annoyed with TypeKit, but that was misplaced.
Adobe: If we can't confidently ask AppleScript to open a file without it, well, not opening, we are kind of screwed.
Please put someone on this task: When the open command is invoked with the dialogs parameter set to false, do not show the Missing Fonts dialog.
It has to happen and it has to happen quickly.
Thanks! Happy-scripters everywhere.
