Unix titbits

find . -newermt '30 seconds ago' -print

find ('.' = files in current dir and subfolders thereof) -newermt (an option, see man page) (files changed within) '30 seconds ago' -print (don't forget to print the results to std output) :D

find . \! -name ".DS_Store" -type f -print

find only plain/standard files (-type f) NOT called .DS_Store (\! -name ".DS_Store")(NB escaped !)

    Am digging the Unix 'find' command right now. Writes results to standard output & therefore a DB (sqlite?) Am thinking of using it in some way to build a lookup table to monitor files that have changed in a specific time frame.

Indesign scripting - negative object reference

Quick reminder: When scripting Indesign a negative object reference means the "last" of something. eg myTextFrame.insertionPoints.item(-1).place(myTextFile); // the end of a text frame or from the Scripting guide: Note that you can use negative numbers to refer to the layers in the layers collection of a document. Layer  -1 refers to the last (bottom) layer in the collection. eg layer(-1); Beware of dynamic collections of objects. Messing with them will change references to items: http://cssdk.host.adobe.com/sdk/1.0/docs/WebHelp/app_notes/id_scripting.htm#Dynamic_collections_and_object_types
