>> Rorohiko has this neat add-on called Frame Reporter. It adds a little label next to any page object which you can configure to show whatever information you need to see without having to dig through panels: Effective resolution, Name and/or path of the placed image, Name of the currently selected story, word count, and many more (you can even make your own if you know a little Javascript!). They’ve written up a detailed explanation of all the options and how their customers have used FrameReporter to streamline their work. Normally $39.00 US, you can get it for 50% off if you enter the coupon code INDESIGNSECRETS193 upon purchase.
