Q: I need to test a new version of BatchXSLT for InDesign but I do not want to trash or overwrite my current production installation. What is the best procedure?
A:
First: Rename all folders of the current software installation:
a) Rename the main application: in the Applications folder rename the folder "BatchXSLT4InDesign" to "OLDBatchXSLT4InDesign".
b) Rename InDesign scripts: in InDesign's applications folder rename the folder "BatchXSLT4InDesign Scripts" to "OLDBatchXSLT4InDesign Scripts" (contained in the Scripts Panel folder).
c) Rename the communications folder: in your HOME folder rename the folder "BatchXSLT4InDesign" to "OLDBatchXSLT4InDesign".
d) Rename the current export folder structure: in your HOME folder rename the folder "Export" to "OLDExport".
Second: Install the new version.
After installation is done, you have the new program version in the folders mentioned above as items a) and b).
After having run an export, the two folders mentioned above c) and d) were created automatically.
Third: After having completed your tests, delete all new folders mentioned above a) - d) and rename back your old folders "OLD...." and your original installation is ready again.
