CustomDataLink not supported in InDesign CC versions?

what has happened customdatalink plugins in indesign cc sdk?

 

in cc sdks either source missing or project files missing.

 

see following:

1. cc10.0 sdk 070

customdatalink win project file missing

source files exist.

 

2. cc 11.0 sdk 072

customdatalink , customdatalinkui sources files missing.

only customdatalinkui project file exists

 

is adobe not recommending third-party devs use it?

if yes, why not removed?

there no mention of in html docs.

 

even worse, customdatalink feature does not work in windows on mac cs 6.

if drag asset, nothing gets placed (files present in hard disk).

as there handful of indesign sdk versions, took sometime wade through sdk docs figure out it.

 

indesign sdk 069 dated 21-05-2015 (for indesign cc 2014, 10.2) references removal of custdtlnk.

the api changes section (/docs/html/api_diffs.html) mentions following:

 

the following api classes existed in indesign cc (10.1) removed prior indesign cc (11.0).

cusdtlnkadornmentshape

cusdtlnkaliaseddatalink

cusdtlnkaliaseddatalinkaction

cusdtlnkaliasedlinkedstream

cusdtlnkchangeoptionscmd

cusdtlnkdelimtextreader

cusdtlnkdocobserver

cusdtlnkdocrespserviceprovider

cusdtlnkdocresponder

cusdtlnkfacade

cusdtlnkfilteredappend

... hence forth

 

 

although customdatalink plugin removed sdk samples, concept of custom uri remains intact.

one can implement custom uri scheme , handle resources seamlessly.

i able implement http , https schemes place images browser layout , linked website , tested on indesign cc 2015 (11.3.x).
