PlaceAndScale Now Available For InDesign CS5

PlaceAndScale, a popular free plug-in for InDesign CS up to CS5, has been updated to version 1.0.7. This version adds InDesign CS5 support. Another important change: it will now by default work in ‘one-shot’ mode, as a result of user-feedback.

Versions before 1.0.7 would re-effect the target resolution each time an image was pasted or placed. This was often surprising the user with unexpected rescaling of images.

The latest version applies the necessary scaling just once, and then leaves the image alone. If you manually scale an image up or down and then copy-paste it, it will not be re-scaled again.

The old behavior is still available by turning off the ‘One-shot operation’ checkbox in the Place and Scale Preferences (under the API menu).
