I did these a while back. ID files do let you click the link icon top right and let you collect links per file.. Adding a loop to selection should be relatively easy... AI does not get these icons because of a missing bag in the file XMP. Sent from my iPhone ... View more

Bridge can read image data and save to JPEG format look at the new bitmap options... Sent from my iPhone ... View more

You've several options available to you… As you have mentioned AppleScript I will start there… AppleScript has a faceless app called Image Events you can use this to extract the properties you want… This app just gives you easier access to SIPS you can do shellscript and do this yourself… Apple has spotlight that will store metadata about your files again you can do shell script with MDLS… You could AppleScript PhotoShop to open the files but this is a massive waste ( no need to open them ). Using extendScript again you could use PhotoShop but the same waste wrong tool for the job. A Bridge script would be better and faster me thinks… Using shell is super quick… but you need to search else where to get what you need… ( I've pretty much forgotten the bits I knew oops ) ...

There is nothing wrong with the new files but yes this can cause more back up than is really needed. FRom a personal stand point I would have gone for Bridge for this workflow. It has a move command that works propery. It can watch a folder using a scheulled task. I would have tried BridgeTalk to pass to PS for processing. but that's just my preferred option... ...

I only quick glance at your script… but I see several errors straight away… You only use the bounds of the first artboards[0]…? if they is all different then this must be inside the loop…? ( as size for each ) Just create the one options object and only change the scaling property for each…? ( you have far more than you need here ) Lastly detectSizes() is a function… You have passed it nothing in arguments terms so your variables are out of scope…?

Hum the counters is an odd thing… It looks like it does all or nothing…?

What are you trying to do…? No need to but Javascript Ref you will find loads FOC. NOT all will apply as ExtendScript is based on an old version.
