I think I'll follow your suggestion. I will open var fileRef = new File ("C:/Ai templates/Graph_style_1.pdf");
app.open( fileRef ); If anyone have a script, it will be more elegant solution Thank you!

Trying to open "File > Save as" dialog from java script, with default open folder, active document folder, without success. The dialog from script, always open last save location. Any suggestions ? Photoshop version 25.x Preferences> File Handling "Save as to Original folder " is ticked ( I have a script that saves at the desired location without opening the save as dialog, but I need to browse folder contents before saving.)

Hi! This script simulates Option/Alt+] , hides active group and select the next one ( https://screenpal.com/watch/c0l6qDVmGJf ) I need help for scripting - simulating the opposite, select next group up and make it visible, can anyone help ? (only groups should be selected) cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
sTID = function(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };
// =============Toggle visbility ==============
var idHd = charIDToTypeID( "Hd " );
var desc170 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var list54 = new ActionList();
var ref127 = new ActionReference();
var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
ref127.putEnumerated( idLyr, idOrdn, idTrgt );
list54.putReference( ref127 );
desc170.putList( idnull, list54 );
executeAction( idHd, desc170, DialogModes.NO );
// ========== Simulate shortcut Option/Alt+[ select next goup==================
var idslct = charIDToTypeID( "slct" );
var desc117 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref83 = new ActionReference();
var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var idBckw = charIDToTypeID( "Bckw" );
ref83.putEnumerated( idLyr, idOrdn, idBckw );
desc117.putReference( idnull, ref83 );
var idMkVs = charIDToTypeID( "MkVs" );
desc117.putBoolean( idMkVs, false );
var idLyrI = charIDToTypeID( "LyrI" );
var list33 = new ActionList();
list33.putInteger( 10 );
desc117.putList( idLyrI, list33 );
executeAction( idslct, desc117, DialogModes.NO );

Another approach here, I think a little bit faster https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/a-script-to-toggle-a-named-layer-or-group-not-the-currently-active-group/m-p/14268436#M768101

Hi! The script is work's great and it is fast, thank you It can be adapted for Layer name starts with string, eg "vis_" ? function toggleVisibility(layerName) {
var desc11 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = stringIDToTypeID("null");
var list6 = new ActionList();
var ref8 = new ActionReference();
var idlayer = stringIDToTypeID("layer");
ref8.putName(idlayer, layerName);
list6.putReference(ref8);
desc11.putList(idnull, list6);
var desc = new ActionDescriptor()
var ref = new ActionReference();
var idlayer = stringIDToTypeID("layer");
ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putName(idlayer, layerName);
var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
var vis = desc.getBoolean(charIDToTypeID("Vsbl"));
if(vis){
var idhide = stringIDToTypeID("hide");
executeAction(idhide, desc11, DialogModes.NO);

I want to hide all layers ( inside subgroups) if the name start with "vis_" This works with specific layer names, I tried to adapt with indexOf, no luck... function toggleVisibility(layerName) {
var desc11 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = stringIDToTypeID("null");
var list6 = new ActionList();
var ref8 = new ActionReference();
var idlayer = stringIDToTypeID("layer");
ref8.putName(idlayer, layerName);
list6.putReference(ref8);
desc11.putList(idnull, list6);
var desc = new ActionDescriptor()
var ref = new ActionReference();
var idlayer = stringIDToTypeID("layer");
ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putName(idlayer, layerName);
var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
var vis = desc.getBoolean(charIDToTypeID("Vsbl"));
var idhide = stringIDToTypeID("hide");
executeAction(idhide, desc11, DialogModes.NO);
}
toggleVisibility('Layer 1');
