Question

Bridge 13 scripting content tabs

I have a number of scripts that i have been using and work in previous versions of bridge. One of them uses two bridge windows. In the new version of bridge this is not possible they have now moved to content tabs. 

 

Does anyone know the syntax to selected files from different content tabs? It seems you can only have 1 document now. 

 

 

here is a snippet from an existing script which worked in previous versions of bridge

 

 

 var sel1 = app.documents[0].getSelection(); 
      var sel2 = app.documents[1].getSelection(); 
      if(sel1[0].core.itemContent.fileFormat == "Photoshop document")  {var main =  sel1; var layout =  sel2;}
      else{var main =  sel2; var layout =  sel1;}

Its a mess. Only one window is supported now and I don't see a way to select files from more than one content tab.

Would really appreciate some help with this. So im pretty sure now you can only have 1 document in the Bridge 13.

 

I am able to get the selected thumbnails of currently viewed content tab, but unable to view the other content tabs via scripting... any ideas how to get selections from multiple content tabs?
