Question

Invoking Photoshop application to execute VBScript

I would like to do some scripting that could utilize the file browsing and selection capabilities of Bridge, but also some of the file manipulation and "outside" applications available using VBScript under Photoshop. I haven't found a way to have the Bridge javascript invoke the Photoshop application to execute the VBScript.

The VBScript photoshop application object has a DoJavaScript Method, but the javascript photoshop application does not have an equivalent DoVBScript or DoScript method to execute a VBScript. It does have a DoAction method, is there a way to have the action invoke the VBScript?

Alternatively, there's BridgeTalk, which seems to be unique to javascript like bridge is. I've never used BridgeTalk, but looking through the documentation it isn't obvious how to pass a VBScript to the photoshop app.

Anyone ever tried this before?

Thanks,
Todd
