Collect function causes script to go into infinity loop
I'm trying to modify this script and add a collect function I found.
For one selected comp this script works but I would like to make it work with all comps selected.
If you comment out line number 230 (collect(projectDir.absoluteURI+ "/" + mycomp,mycomp);
This script does create a folder and saves a reduce project inside the folder.
I think it has something to do with calling "app.project.numItems" on line 96.
But with line 230 uncommented it will do the first comp and then start "3" comps later and goes in a infinity loop...
For testing purposes you can easily create a new project, create a comp, duplicate it a couple of times, select all comps, save it somewhere and run this script.
